Solved VirtualBox BUS Error

serjsk8 · Oct 11, 2023

Hello community,
My FreeBSD is:

Code:

# freebsd-version 
13.2-RELEASE-p4

Today, after updating the packages, emulators/virtualbox-ose stopped working for me.
And only one message I have:

Code:

$ virtualbox
Bus error

after updating packages I have:

Code:

# pkg version | grep virtualbox
virtualbox-ose-6.1.46_1            =
virtualbox-ose-kmod-6.1.46         =

It's ok if virtualbox-ose have version 6.1.46_1 but kmod 6.1.46 ?
And what is this error "Bus Error" ?

Best regards,

Virtualbox works fine for me:

# freebsd-version -kru
13.2-RELEASE-p4
13.2-RELEASE-p4
13.2-RELEASE-p4

# pkg version | grep virtualbox
virtualbox-ose-6.1.46_1 =
virtualbox-ose-kmod-6.1.46 =

today I created a new virtual machine, I did not find any problems.

A bus error is a memory error similar to a segmentation fault.

I would rebuild the mod from ports.

I've tried this several times. But without result...
I only found this error message:

Code:

00:00:06.188774 Watcher  ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) aIID={d0a0163f-e254-4e5b-a1f2-011cf991c38d} aComponent={VirtualBoxWrap} aText={The object is not ready}, preserve=false aResultDetail=0

Look through this. You may need to delete your VM and recreate it. Remember to preserve or save you vmdk or vdi in order to attach it to any new VM.

I used to have these problems running FreeBSD and Linux under Virtualbox under Windows. I ultimately had to edit the Virtualbox VM's definition file as it had become corrupted.

I rebuilt everything from the ports and have the same problem.

It did not help

Just to be sure: can you verify virtualbox kernel modules are loaded when you start the VM ?
Are you sure no other virtualization is in place? In this case here bhyve (vmm).

I think its some thing with package dependency.
I have delete all pakages
#pkg delete \*
And again install all my software....
Now VirtualBox start to work like before.
Thanks everyone for the help!

That is kind of concerning.

Two notes. pkg delete -a will delete all packages, except pkg(8) itself. No need for wildcards. Second; pkg upgrade -f will simply reinstall all packages.

it's not so good.
In my case it was simple.
All configuration files remained untouched.
I just reinstalled all the packages.

You are right. I have bad habits that appeared during the time of pkg_delete

Ok, my emulators/virtualbox-ose stopped working again.
And I found the "conflict"
When I have installed net-im/telegram-desktop/ virtualbox stops working.
I deleted Telegram and its dependencies, virtual box starts working!

# pkg delete telegram-desktop
