I have two computers with VirtualBox installed. One, ENU-1, runs Xubuntu
20.04 and the other, ENU-2, runs Linux Mint 20.2 Uma \n \l. I have Win2k
and Win7 on both of them. A problem has arisen. On ENU-2 the two virtual
machines start up fine. on ENU-1 I get this error message:
VirtualBox - Error
Details:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine *Win2k*.
The virtual machine *'Win2k'* has terminated unexpectedly during startup
with exit code 1 (0x1).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}
A second error window shows:
RTR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)
The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox.
The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing
'modprobe vboxdrv' may correct this. Make sure that you are not mixing
builds of VirtualBox from different sources. where:
supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime what: 4 VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH
(-1912) - The installed support driver doesn't match the version of the
user.
Earlier in the day I had the same problem on both machines. I swapped
boxes so that I can use ENU-1 as my primary machine, which means I shut
both of them down. When I started them back up, I was able to start both
virtual winders machines on ENU-2, but neither on ENU-1.
For Win7 the first message says:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine *Win7Home*.
The virtual machine *'Win7Home'* has terminated unexpectedly during
startup with exit code 1 (0x1).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}
The second message is the same for both virtual machines.
My Internet searching has not proved useful.
Looking at VBox.log (and VBox.log1, 2, and 3) there are 2145 lines, most
of which are Greek to me. The last four lines in each log are:
0:01:53.092033 GIM: HyperV: Resetting MMIO2 regions and MSRs
00:01:53.092033 Changing the VM state from 'DESTROYING' to 'TERMINATED'
00:01:53.102499 Console: Machine state changed to 'PoweredOff'
00:01:53.102757 GUI: Request to close Runtime UI because VM is powered
off already.
00:01:53.102768 GUI: Passing request to close Runtime UI from
machine-logic to UI session.
Running modprobe vboxdrv, as recommended in one of the error messages
produce no noticeable change.
Any idea where to go next in solving this issue?
