Unable to start Virtualbox

Post by boxino »

After a recent update I unfortunately find that Virtualbox no longer starts. The error message is as follows:"$ VirtualBox %U /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Core.so.5: cannot dynamically load position-independent executable" :( .
Solutions :?:

P.S. I use Ubuntu Mate 22.04 LTS and Virtualbox last edition (38)

Of what, Virtualbox or the host OS?

I'd uninstall Virtualbox, handle the prerequisites https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq then install Virtualbox again from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
