Could not load 1.3-linux xml settings

[andrexus]

I have no Virtual machines, but VBox says:

Could not load the settings file '/home/username/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml'. Element '{​http://www.innotek.de/VirtualBox-settings}SystemProperties', attribute 'defaultHardDiskFolder': [facet 'pattern'] The value is not accepted by the pattern '.+'. Element '{​http://www.innotek.de/VirtualBox-settings}SystemProperties', attribute 'defaultHardDiskFolder': is not a valid value of the atomic type '{​http://www.innotek.de/VirtualBox-settings}TLocalFile'.

Result Code: VBOX_E_XML_ERROR (0x80BB000A) Component: VirtualBox Interface: IVirtualBox {339abca2-f47a-4302-87f5-7bc324e6bbde}

I would be nice if you could attach that .xml file in question to this defect.

Ok, I could reproduce the problem. However, as your VirtualBox.xml file is almost empty, I would suggest you to

1. stop all VBox instances
2. make sure that no VBoxSVC daemon is running
3. remove that VirtualBox.xml file
4. start the VBox GUI

This should create a new valid VirtualBox.xml file

Thanks. It finally works. I've just remove VirtualBox.xml file. Such a strange error.
