emerge --info

Starting a VM with "vboxmanage startvm iwplayerqa --type headless" results in the following output:

Waiting for VM "iwplayerqa" to power on...
VBoxManage: error: The virtual machine 'iwplayerqa' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1)
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component MachineWrap, interface IMachine

Works fine when I downgrade to 5.1.22.

Why do you think this is a bug in the ebuild and not from the upstream source?

Comment 2 Herb Miller Jr. 2017-08-19 02:00:32 UTC

I'm not confident it isn't, but wasn't sure where to start. It doesn't happen in 5.1.26 either so I'm fine with closing this one out.
