Dear All
I am using Kubuntu 11.04 and was successfully using VB 4.0.4 until I made some
changes to the partitions.
I had two versions of Kubuntu and was dual booting 9.04 and 11.04. I tried to
reclaim the space taken up by 9.04 by deleting it. I now have access to all the
space. However, VB stopped seeing the virtual machine of XP I had already made.
Undeterred and not knowing what I was doing I decided to move the VM of XP off
the HDD, uninstall VB 4.0.4 using KPackageKit. I uninstalled VirtualBoxOSE and
virtualbox-ose. I did not uninstall
virtualbox-ose-dkms
because a previous check had revealed it was the newest version.
Next I downloaded the latest 32bit version from the website and installed it.
All went well. I started version 4.1.4 and set about making a new VM of XP Pro.
I was presented with a small variation from 4.0.4 in that I had four file types
to chose from and I chose VDI. Meanwhile the rest of the options were straight
forward: 1024 MB; Create a new hard disk; VDI; Dynamically; 10GB. However, all
was not well, I got a very similar error message I got after trying to install
a new VM after the changes to partitions:
"Failed to create a new virtual machine
XP Pro (London)
Runtime error opening
/home/stepahnos3/.VirtualBox/Virtualbox.xml-tmp
for reading:-102 (File not found.).
/home/vbox/vbox-4.1.4/src/VBox/Main/src-server
/VirtualBoxlmpl.cpp[3408] (nresult
VirtualBox::saveSettings()).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (hex number here I can supply)
Component: VirtualBox
Interface: VirtualBox {long-alpha-numeric here}"
I did check to see if I had a hidden folder called .VirtualBox and there was
not one either before I removed 4.0.4 and not after installing 4.1.4. I have
not improved my position and have no idea what I have to do now.
Any help appreciated
Stephen
