crash to load virtualbox
hi,
until now, everything was running well, but since few days, i can't launch virtualbox
When i launch it using konsole, i have this message :
./VirtualBox
VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: VBoxVMM.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
i verified, and the "missing file" exists in the folder
i made a reinstallation of virtualbox, but the probleme is not solved
host : mandriva 2010.1 kde 4.5.2
help ?

Re: crash to load virtualbox
What has changed from when it worked and when it started failing.
The error you see usually means a permission problem or the kernel has been updated and you did not have DKMS installed.
What does /var/log/vbox-install.log say

Re: crash to load virtualbox
log says there is a kernel problem.
I changed the kernel but virtualbox doesn't launch.
i launch it in root mode and it works.
i put in the trash the folder /home/my_user/.virtualbox but there is no change
Seems it is a probleme of permissions but they seem to be right for the "missing file" (root)

Re: crash to load virtualbox
If you changed the kernel and did not install the headers it will do just what you are seeing.
Install dkms and the headers then re-install VirtualBox and your problems should go away.

Re: crash to load virtualbox
kernel and headers are installed from the start
virtualbox has been reinstalled and dkms is allready installed
but it doesn't work at all except in root mode

Re: crash to load virtualbox
did you add your user name to the vboxusers group on the host?

Re: crash to load virtualbox
Make sure that ~/.VirtualBox folder and files is actually owned by you. If you ran this as root it more then likely has changed you user folder permission.
Also try setting your VBOX_USER_HOME environment and see it you can launch the program and guests.

Re: crash to load virtualbox
this is due to new glibc patches to fix a vulnerability in loading DSO libraries.
http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2010/Oct/344
this is a quick fix:

Thought the VirtualBox team was working on a fixup release, but now I see they're not even aware of the issue yet!
