I'm trying to install ubuntu (Ver. 22.04) on VirtualBox app (Ver. 7.0.8) but it doesn't run.
and this alert appear:
Can't run guest installation
Failed to run unattended guest installation
Callee RC: NS_ERROR_ABORT (0X80004004)
Could any one help me how to solve this problem?
Is any of these versions not compatible with mac M1 ??
Do you recommend any better versions or apps for virtualization?
thanks a lot in advance
Unless you are using UTM as mentioned by @etresoft, you will need to use the ARM version of Ubuntu with Virtual Box or Parallels. However, I don't see an official ARM version of the Ubuntu Desktop (there is a Server version). The only Ubuntu Desktop ARM versions appear to be unofficial builds.
The current Apple Silicon builds for VirtualBox are here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds
I think there was one version of 7.0.8 for Apple Silicon, but there is no way to tell if you have that version.
I'm using Virtual Buddy now. UTM also works. If you want to spend money, you can use Parallels.
The current VirtualBox Apple Silicon support is not really ready for prime time.
It would be better to take the UTM route, as has aready been suggested:
Thanks all
the problem was solved
I downloaded UTM as you recommended, it works properly with Ubuntu 22.04.4 (arm64) not (amd64) version.
I guess if you really want to run Linux, then Parallels might be the best approach. They have canned, one-click-and-go Linux installations for ARM.
Parallels Desktop Pro 19.2 for macOS is a $120+/year subscription. I use it daily with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS guest — on Intel platform. It is installed on a 2020 Core i7 iMac with 40GB RAM. I power on the iMac, and then walk over to my M2 Mac mini Pro and do screen sharing of that Linux guest to a 32-in LG display. Acceptable interactive performance over Wi-Fi 6.
Thanks a lot for your fast reply
I already have VirtualBox 7.0.8 (Developer preview for macOS / Arm64 (M1/M2) hosts version)
Is this OK?
Now I don't know whether the VirualBox or the Ubuntu or both are incompatible with my mac M1
Thanks a lot for your fast reply
Do you mean that the Ubuntu is incompatible with mac M1???
I thought the problem is in the virualBox not the Ubuntu
I'd like also to ask you about the unofficial build, is it safe to download it or it is better to find another one?

No clue. You said it isn't working. It isn't the latest version. VirtualBox isn't known for staying up-to-date.

Sounds like both.

Asahi Linux is the furthest along with native Apple silicon support, and they’re just starting with Fedora.
VirtualBox NS_ERROR_ABORT (0X80004004) on my mac M1
