VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE



  • This is possibly due to bug in Virtualbox. Install the latest version of virtualbox for your OS. Virtualbox is temperamental to installs and uninstalls, all trace of a previous version should be remove before a new version is installed.

    For an Ubuntu linux, this involves

    $ sudo apt-get purge virtualbox virtualbox-dkms
    $ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.1
    

    Go to https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and download the latest version for your OS.

    For Ubuntu:

    $ sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-5.2_5.2.0-118431~Ubuntu~xenial_amd64.deb
