[solved] Virtualbox not launching

Post by voca »

For your information,

I've had this kind of error:

Code: Select all

$ VirtualBox 
VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: /usr/lib/libQtNetwork.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv
I'm using latest ubuntu 8.10, ( upgraded, not fresh install), and virtualbox 2.06 latest intrepid package (probl was the same with the 2 weeks ago packages). I've all QT4 libraries so the error was really strange... but I've found the solution:

The solution was to add /usr/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf so simple, so logical, but so long to find that it was that!

hope it may help anyone else
have a good day

Well, that is another solution. The first who got it working needed font-config and it's library.
