Hi folks, how can I fix this ?
Last week VirtualBox was working fine and now I got his error:
josir@linux7:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.2"
josir@linux7:~$ VirtualBox
Qt WARNING: Qt: Session management error: Could not open network socket
Wrong mode (42700) of '/tmp/.vbox-josir-ipc'.
Wrong mode (42700) of '/tmp/.vbox-josir-ipc'.
And on the QT dialog, I receive:
NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154)
Error on Ubuntu 8.04.2 - Could not open network socket

Did you get any updates recently? Maybe someting updated your system and broke VB. Try a reinstall.

[SOLVED] Error on Ubuntu 8.04.2 - Could not open network soc
Thanks for replying Sasquatch.
I found the same problem on Bug Track and I got it solved.
This is a /tmp permission problem. To fix it, you should issue those command as root:
chown root:root /tmp
chmod ug-s /tmp
chmod 1777 /tmp
and then remove any .vbox-*-ipc directory.
