How To Run Macos Catalina In Virtualbox
I have Windows10 and Ubuntu. Today I needed Windows and when started I got the Windows 'blue' screen saying that some critical system files were not found and it tried to repair itself, for no avail.
Then I tried Ubuntu, which simply didn't start and its status turned to 'Aborted'
Virtualbox Vm Quit Unexpectedly Mac Catalina
Making a long story short. I did a clean install of VirtualBox 6.1.10, used new and backed up VDI files for Windows and Linux. Created new VM re-using my VDI disks and tested, trying to look at the logs.It simply getting aborted whatever I try. I have no idea of what's going on. Looking at my log at

I can run Ubuntu memory test from the Grub option and starting the VM in headless mode the status shows 'running' and that's all.
I hope someone can help me somehow.
Thanks in advance,

Whether you’re setting up a fresh Linux VM in VirtualBox on macOS Catalina (10.15.6), or migrating a VM over from an older macOS version, you can be in for a nasty surprise — once the VM boots, VirtualBox crashes with a mere stack trace.
Personally I tested this with openSUSE, but since there’s similar reports from Ubuntu, this seems a fairly common problem.
The error and the stack trace will look something along these lines:
The solution is simple, yet all the more annoying: disable audio in the VM settings.
At a guess, one of the many new security limitations in Catalina is denying VirtualBox permissions and the latter does’t know what to do besides throwing a fit.
