Common VirtualBox error but I am already in the dialout group

[scottbomb]

New install of 22.04. Check this out...

user@laptop:~$ ll /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 68 Oct 29 12:51 /dev/ttyS0
user@laptop:~$ groups
user adm tty dialout cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin lxd sambashare vboxusers
user@laptop:~$

I'm a member of dialout but still get this error when trying to launch a VM. BTW, the extension pack is installed as well as guest additions on the target VM:

Failed to open host device '/dev/ttyS0' (VERR_DEV_IO_ERROR).
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005)
Component:
ConsoleWrap
Interface:
IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}

user@laptop:~$ ll /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Oct 29 12:51 /dev/ttyS0

Any ideas on what could be wrong here?

I think I found the problem. The VM came from may main PC which has a serial port but this laptop does not. Virtualbox was trying to talk to a serial port that doesn't exist.
