virtualbox iso issue

Hi,

I am still trying to set up the crazyflieVM on my computer that runs UBUNTU 18.04.1 (I posted and solved my own issue yesterday in my previous post)


I did this on another computer a while ago but I never had these issues:

So downloaded Virtualbox and the crazyflie VM file.
When trying to set everything up the README I tried double clicking on the
- createBitcrazeVM.sh

but when I do that this opens up instead of setting up the VM:

What should I do? I am really confused.

I think you are hitting this issue: https://github.com/bitcraze/bitcraze-vm/issues/45. You need VirtualBox 5 to run this script.

As I noted in your other post, you do not need this script to run the VM, it is used for development. You can download the pre-build VM from the release page: https://github.com/bitcraze/bitcraze-vm/releases/

You apparently do not have the right expantion pack installed:
--> virtualbox-iso: Error starting VM: VBoxManage error: VBoxManage: error: Implementation of the USB 2.0 controller not found!

You can download it from the virtualbox website.

What are you trying to achieve? If you just want to run the VM, this script is not the way to go, you should download the already made OVA file from the release page I linked earlier.

I apologize I have just been misunderstanding which one I was suppose download. My bad I completely misunderstood what I was supposed to do.

But there is yet another issue:
when using the OVA file I get the following error:

Failed to import appliance /home/edwin/Downloads/BitcrazeVM_2018.12 (2).ova.

Do you have any idea why this happens?

I found what the remaining issue was. it stemmed from the fact that there was not enough space on my computer for the VM to be installed. after increasing the amount of space I was able to set up the VM.

I would like to thank arnaud for your help. I apologize for my initial lack of understanding of the which was the correct download.
