Suddenly getting "Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_LDR_MISMATCH_NATIVE)" - windows-7

Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_LDR_MISMATCH_NATIVE)
My VMs on Virtualbox 4.2 (on Windows 7 32-bit) were running absolutely fine until I started installing a new VM, which would not go beyond the Linux boot screen.
I deleted the VM and created new one, but it still didn't run.
So I installed the new version of VirtualBox (version 4.3.6.r91406) and rebooted the machine; but when I started any of my previously working VMs, I got the following error
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine m14
Failed to load VMMR0.r0
(VERR_LDR_MISMATCH_NATIVE
with the following details:
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole
{8ab7c520-2442-4b66-8d74-4ff1e195d2b6}
On checking the forums, I saw few posts asking to check the .vbox files. In the directory of the VM, there are two, m14.vbox and m14.vbox-prev.
I removed the prev file and restarted the VM, again got same error, and the m14.vbox-prev file came again. So I then removed the original m14.vbox file and renamed the prev file to original and then started the VM: it still didn't work.
Any clues fixing this?

Hi I had the same problem in version 4.3
I disabled the floppy and the CD into the system configuration of the virtual machine and then the machine has started properly without realizing the error.

Add or update the extension pack.
If that doesn't solves the problem, then uninstall the Virtual Box, delete the following folder:
C:\USERS\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Oracle
then install Virtual Box again and run it as administrator. (In some cases running it as simple user may work too.)

Run as Administrator
I had the same problem after updating from 4.1 or 4.2, to 4.3.18.
I didn't reboot and the "Right click Virtualbox icon - Run as Administrator" technique worked for me (in Windows).

pls run the vbox-ssl-cacertificate.crt file. That may resolve above problem. This solution works for me.

FINALLY.
A while back I turned on ASLR for everything using EMET. Running EMET again and changing it back to the default of "Application OptIn" + reboot fixed it.

Like akshah123 I had driver verifier (verifier.exe) running because I was diagnosing random BSODs on my laptop. Running:
verifier.exe /reset
and then rebooting fixed this issue for me.

Launching VirtualBox as administrator got my VM running as normal.
Didn't need to try any other approach.

VirtualBox 6.1.28 fails to load R0 module (`VERR_LDR_GENERAL_FAILURE`) on Windows

VirtualBox 6.1.28 fails to start a box on Windows with the following error:
Failed to load R0 module C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox/VMMR0.r0:
SUP_IOCTL_LDR_OPEN failed (VERR_LDR_GENERAL_FAILURE).
Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_LDR_GENERAL_FAILURE).
VirtualBox v. 6.1.28 is buggy, use another version (e.g. 6.1.26 or 6.1.32) which you can download from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_6_1
The issue is tracked as https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20694 and was fixed in v. 6.1.32.
A workaround...
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20694
"The Windows Hypervisor-enforced Code Integrity (HVCI) feature rejects the VirtualBox component VMMR0.r0 (*). A workaround is to disable HVCI aka Memory integrity as follows:
On your Windows host, go to Start > Settings > Update & security > Windows Security > Device security > Core isolation details, turn off Memory integrity and reboot the Windows host.
(*) In the Windows Event Log, under Applications and Service Logs\Microsoft\Windows\CodeIntegrity\Operational, an event with ID 3111 ("The file under validation did not meet the hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI) policy.") is logged."
Fixed moving to 6.1.26
On Windows 10:
Uninstall VirtualBox using the control panel "Program and functionalities" tool. DO NOT RESTART YET.
Manually check for the following folders and remove them if they are still there:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox
C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\VirtualBox
Note: The folders can be in a different place depending where you installed Oracle VirtualBox; make sure to check the correct folder in case you changed the installation directory.
Go to your %userprofile% directory (eg: C:\users\me) and delete the folders:
.VirtualBox
VirtualBox VMs
Go to RegEdit (WIN+R and type regedit) and click on Computer at the very top.
Then click on "Edit" > "Search" or hit CTRL+F. Type virtualbox and tick all checkboxes.
Find the key Oracle > VirtualBox. It should be in
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Oracle\VirtualBox
Remove the VirtualBox key.
IMPORTANT: RESTART NOW. Restart your computer!
Install VirtualBox again with the new version.

I had the same problem and found a solution. You have to open Oracle VM VirtualBox.exe and move into your machine settings, make sure that in Controller: SATA you have only .iso of your machine, if you have something else, delete it, close Oracle VM VirtualBox. In Control panel find programs and features, delete your Oracle VM VirtualBox. Then download Oracle VM VirtualBox again, it's not necessary, which version you will launch but better the latest or the same you had before. After installation check out a capability of your machine, if it works, you may add other .iso back, if it doesn't work, open settings again and Controller: SATA delete all .iso exclude your machine .iso, then launch the machine again.
It works with my virtual machines, if it's not relevant to your occasion, you can try other variants.

CLION: WSL not found, ssh connected?

Today I got this error message:
"WSL not found at: C:\Users\Nick\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\debian.exe"
Before this message today, everything worked fine (I start Debian through start menu, restart the ssh service, then start CLion and it linked up just fine.).
The executable is there, just 0kb. The strange thing is that the Linux environment can be opened from windows as always (debian), I can ssh into it just fine (looks like CLion can as well, see picture).
This happened after an update tot CLion 2018.2.2 from 2018.2.1. Rolling back did not fix the issue.
What could be going wrong here?
I've found a fix for the issue. In Windows config select the apps list, find Debian and press advanced settings. Then end the service and recover it (the mild recovery was enough for my case). Although I'm not certain it aided in fixing the issue I've also removed the Jetbrains folder in the LocalCache/Local folder of the Debian folder in my AppData\Local\Packages.

"bsdtar.EXE: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format" while running vagrant up

I am taking a course on Udacity that requires me to set up a virtual machine on my system. I have already downloaded and installed Virtual Box and Vagrant. When I try to run the command vagrant up, I get this error:
Could anyone please explain what might be going wrong?
I am working on my office laptop so I cannot change the firewall settings. They are controlled by McAfee. Also, the firewall has been turned off by McAfee to the best of my knowledge. I tried searching a lot but couldn't come up with a solution to this.
Well, I researched more about this and was finally able to find something. This issue comes up when vagrant doesn't have folder permission. Sometimes Cygwin shell in Windows doesn't get permission to write or create a new folder.
I followed their github issue. This is what made it work for me:
Rename C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\gnuwin32\bin\bsdtar.exe to
something like bsdtar_backup.exe (or temporarily move it)
In that same directory, create bsdtar.bat with this content:
#ECHO OFF
"%~dp0....\mingw\bin\bsdtar.exe" %*
This will result in Vagrant using the mingw binary, without you having to dive into some code. After these two steps, try adding a box.

Creating a vagrant box using `vagrant package` on windows

So, I'm trying to run vagrant package on my current Vagrant VM, and it seems to be working fine(no errors reported); however, it is not saving the file to the location that it reports to be saving it. I cannot locate the file anywhere else on the system either, so I'm not sure if it's actually being created or if the command is silently failing.
I am running Vagrant 1.6.1 on Windows 8.1 and using virtualbox as my hypervisor. Are there logs that I can be looking at which might help diagnose the problem?
I figured out what the issue was. This is specifically related to using vagrant on windows with mingw. A DLL dependency is screwed up for bsdtar, so if you follow the steps in http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/2150/, you should be fine.

After upgrading Fedora, why can I no longer change permissions of a file mounted via SMB

I had been running Fedora 9 for the last year --- I have a Windows box (actually a VM) that mounts a folder on the Fedora box using my own name/password. I do this so that I can run my version control program (Vault) on Windows. It has worked flawlessly for the last 6 months.
Yesterday, I upgraded Fedora from version 9 to version 11. Since doing so, I am no longer able to change file permissions from my Windows box. Nothing has changed, there's no firewall on the machine, SELinux is disabled (SELINUX=disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux), etc
I can still read the files. Any idea what has happened and how I might fix this?
Thanks,
David
P.S. The error I get is
An error occurred applying attributes to the file:
....my filename...
Access is denied.
P.P.S. I AM able to create a NEW file in the mounted folder. After doing so, I can change its properties to make it be read-only. BUT I then can NOT change its properties again to be writable. Hope this helps.
Turns out this would appear to be a bug in the latest version of Samba that you get when you install Fedora 11.
I manually built SAMBA 3.4.1 from source, installed it and my Windows machines work just fine with it.
(Just in case anyone else searches this site)
