    Hello,

    Every time I log in or click anywhere within my phpVirtualBox - I get an alert error message with a cryptic error code.

    I traced the issue down to the output of "VBoxManage list host info" command which for some reason is showing these errors - here is output

    VBoxManage list hostinfo
    Host Information:
    
    Host time: 2015-04-26T14:36:11.758000000Z
    Processor online count: 1
    Processor count: 4
    Processor online core count: 1
    Processor core count: 4
    Processor#0 speed: 3300 MHz
    VBoxManage: error: Code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) - Operation failed (extended info not available)
    VBoxManage: error: Context: "GetProcessorDescription(i, processorDescription.asOutParam())" at line 213 of file VBoxManageList.cpp
    Processor#0 description:

    VBoxManage: error: Code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) - Operation failed (extended info not available)
    VBoxManage: error: Context: "GetProcessorDescription(i, processorDescription.asOutParam())" at line 213 of file VBoxManageList.cpp
    Processor#1 description:
    Processor#2 speed: 3300 MHz
    VBoxManage: error: Code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) - Operation failed (extended info not available)
    VBoxManage: error: Context: "GetProcessorDescription(i, processorDescription.asOutParam())" at line 213 of file VBoxManageList.cpp
    Processor#2 description:
    Processor#3 speed: 3300 MHz
    Processor#3 description: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30GHz
    Memory size: 16241 MByte
    Memory available: 12021 MByte
    Operating system: SunOS
    Operating system version: 5.11
    

    These error codes (0x80004005) are exactly what is being propagated to phpVirtualBox.
    I already asked in VirtualBox forums about this and so far - no response.

    VirtualBox works fine though. It is very stable and has no other issues. Being a completely headless installation though - creating and modifying VMs is a pain and phpVirtualBox would help a lot.

    I think that there are no real issues here and that I could ignore these errors, but I am not sure if there is a setting for that in phpVirtualBox.

    If not - can someone point me to the right place in code that would allow me to ignore these error for the time being. I understand that this is not a great solution, but as it is - it is not really usable even though I can see, start and stop my VMs through phpVirtualBox.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Turns out that the Open Indiana system this was installed on disabled 3 of my cores so the VBoxManage list hostinfo was producing errors.

    This should still not prevent phpVirtualBox from running normally. It should be reported to the user, but it should not break the basic functionality.
