Ubuntu VM on Virtualbox keeps aborting

I have Virtualbox

(v4.3.18) installed on my Mac X (10.10) and created a virtual machine with Ubuntu

(ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso) on it. After the installation was complete, it asked to reboot and when I checked the storage settings it was automatically uninstalled. I went ahead and installed the software in a virtual machine, but left and came back to find it aborted

. When I try to execute the run

virtual machine again , I see the following messages and I cannot go back to Ubuntu launch messages::

The only thing I was able to do was add the iso to the repository settings and reinstall Ubuntu to be able to use it, but always temporarily as it keeps getting interrupted. I don't want to "try it without installing", I want it to be able to turn it off every time I want and not reinstall it every time. Does anyone know why the VM is being interrupted?

Is the Enable EFI option checked? it is located on the system / motheboard page of the virtual machine.



I met a similar problem once and checking the checkbox solved the problem.

This started with me with VBox 5.1.24 and Ubuntu 17.04, both of which have the latest fixes as of July 22nd 2017. Ubuntu Desktop will try to start within 5-10 minutes. The purple splash screen has moved back to the black text screen with a blinking cursor. After 5-10 minutes, the virtual machine will be canceled. Doubling the amount of RAM for the virtual machine (up to 8 GB) resolved the problem.
