Sometimes such error happens under Windows.
Please run launch.sh one more time.
If this error remains after several attempts, then something really went wrong.
Aborting.

I just noticed you used VirtualBox 4.1.14.

Please try upgrade VirtualBox to at least 4.2.16.
It is our minimal supported version, mostly because of Windows guest handling improvements.

[Alexander Maretskiy (maretskiy)]

Ok, but consider that I use package from standard repository of current LTS release

[Miroslav Anashkin (manashkin)]

Greetings Alexander,

You may use VBox version directly from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
They directly support Ubuntu as old as 10.04 for VB4.3 and even 8.04 for VBox 4.2

Kind regards,
Miroslav
