Hi,
All executors are running other Jobs. So, you are getting this error. Once,  any one of the executors gets available, it will take care your Queued job 
Or, increase the executors count in Manage Jenkins -> Configure System

No, this is not an error, just an informative message.

Some more reason why you could get this message:

 - no executors with the requested label up and running
 - on-demand executors not starting or with a long delay or only scheduled for e.g. out-of-office times

So check the job which executor it expects and then compare this to the available ones.
 

Thanks,
Poo

Hard to tell without more information...
 * what kind of job:  pipeline , freestyle, ???
 * configured labels for nodes
* if pipeline: the pipeline code
 * ....

I only see one node there, I guess that's master. Is the VM you mentioned considered to be always up or is it started on demand? If the first, then it should likely also show up with its executors below your master executors. So you should check why that VM isn't running (or isn't started if should be starting on demand). Also check the configuration of your job as to whether the "Restrict where this job can be run" setting matches the name/label of your VM and fix it if needed.

HTH...
