I'm using an windows host with an unraid virtual machine in vmware. When I go to the VM's page and I get this first error. Libvirt service failed to start. So I went to the VM settings and get my second error. I get similar errors in the docker section as well. How do I fix this  

Moved to appropriate subforum. 

Please post your diagnostics downloaded after you get the error: Tool -> Diagnostics

I have tried this again with a new unraid installation and it still doesnt work. I also moved to an old laptop I have. tower-diagnostics-20181219-0928.zip

You don't have anything for those paths to exist on. You seem to have unformatted flash drives assigned as disks 1 and 2, no other data drives, no cache drive. Also no parity but you do have a (2.5") parity2. 

 

So you really haven't setup any storage that Unraid can use for VMs and dockers.

 

Have you looked at any videos or other guides? What made you come to Unraid? If all you want is to run dockers and VMs, you already have an environment for that. Why run Unraid as a VM just so you can run dockers and VMs in Unraid? Why not just run dockers and VMs in your Windows and VMware?

I came to unraid because of Linus Tech Tips, he's made some cool things with it. I just wanted to try it and see what I could do with it.

He didn't do it the way you are trying to do it. Lots of ways to run multiple virtual machines on one computer. Unraid is one of those, but VMware is another. Putting Unraid inside VMware and then trying to force all that onto cobbled laptop with flash drives isn't going to get you anywhere.
