I have this problem: NS_ERROR_SOCKET_FAIL (0xC1F30200)

[rudolfhbantim]

I don't know why, my virtual box stop to run. When i try to open, this messenger show:

"
Falha ao carregar o objeto COM do VirtualBox.
A aplicação será finalizada.
A provável razão para este erro são permissões incorretas para o socket do daemon de IPC devido a um problema durante a instalação. Verifique as permissões de '/tmp' e '/tmp/.vbox-*-ipc/'

RC do Chamador: NS_ERROR_SOCKET_FAIL (0xC1F30200)
"
something like that :

"
Failed to load VirtualBox COM object.
The application will be finalized.
The likely reason for this error is incorrect permissions to the IPC daemon socket due to a problem during the installation. Check the permissions of '/ tmp' and '/tmp/.vbox-*-ipc/'

Caller RC: NS_ERROR_SOCKET_FAIL (0xC1F30200)
"

I tried to uninstall and reinstall but it did not work.

Anyone can help me please?

The error did not talk about installing and re-installing. If there is an existing problem in your system, re-installing will not help you. The error clearly stated:

The likely reason for this error is incorrect permissions to the IPC daemon socket due to a problem during the installation. Check the permissions of '/ tmp' and '/tmp/.vbox-*-ipc/'

So, please post the output of the command:

• ls -alR /tmp /private/tmp /private/var/tmp

how can i fix it?

[socratis]

ls: /private/tmp: No such file or directory

You are in mighty big trouble. How in the seven kingdoms did you manage to delete the system's temporary directory? What did you do? What did you install, what did you uninstall?

[socratis]

how can i fix it?

Did you reboot your host?

[rudolfhbantim]

I tried delete some files to liberate space, a few days ago. Maybe, the private/tmp was deleted. Can i create a new one? I will reboot now.

[rudolfhbantim]

i can create with "mkdir private/tmp"?

[socratis]

You're not supposed to even see the /private. If you do see it, that means that you know what you doing. Really know what you're doing...

I did a test on a VM. Deleting the /private/tmp should bring it back under normal circumstances.

[rudolfhbantim]

I have been using disk inventory x to found big files to delete. I really don't remember to delete it private/tmp. If a create a new one, will works? Because i tried reboot, but que paste did came.

COULD YOU PLEASE STOP TRYING THINGS OUT BEFORE I GET A CHANCE TO COMMENT???????
That's what led you here in the first place!!!

Messing with your system is not a VirtualBox problem. Your misunderstanding of basic system functionality has led you to a point where there can be only one true, working, tested solution; reinstall OSX: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204904. Even if you created "/private/tmp" by hand I wouldn't know if everything else on your OSX was in order. Even more worrying is the fact that OSX doesn't recreate the folder after a reboot. As I said, I tried it and it worked just fine.

Next time you feel like deleting stuff from your computer so you can fit another MP3 or another movie, stay in the "/Users/" sub-directory. That's it. You might as well delete the "/System" folder, that takes a lot of space...

Anyway, you messed your host. This is not a VirtualBox problem. I can help you up to a point.

thanks

I also met this trouble one hour ago too.

I removed /tmp/.vbox-*-ipc then executed VirtualBox . The result it became normal.

.vbox-*-ipc means your account name. like as .vbox-john-ipc.
