VMs won't run on VirtualBox (Guru Meditation error 79)

  • 772

None of my virtual machines (Windows and Linux guests) won't run on my PC (Kubuntu 19.04, Core i5-6500, 16GB, NVIDIA 430). I tried installing VirtualBox from Ubuntu's repo and Oracle's repo.

They do run, however, on my laptop with 8GB RAM and Core i7-4700MQ.

00:00:01.377634 Changing the VM state from 'POWERING_ON' to 'RUNNING'
00:00:01.377645 Console: Machine state changed to 'Running'
00:00:01.380161 Changing the VM state from 'RUNNING' to 'GURU_MEDITATION'
00:00:01.380178 Console: Machine state changed to 'GuruMeditation'

    I just realized I got a Multipass instance running. Didn't even realize it was running :face_palm:

    All I had to do was stop that instance.
