VirtualBox 2.2.4 PUEL on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit won't launch

[alirio]

Hello all, after searching for a while now I am still not having a clue on this one:

after a clean installation from the downloaded .deb package, starting VirtualBox on the terminal would return:

Code: Select all

$ VirtualBox 
VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so: undefined symbol: _ZN10QStatusBar9showEventEP10QShowEvent

I know this being an issue for quite some Fedora guys in this forum, but non of their approaches where helpful for my case so far.

I got some hints out of http://www.raditha.com/blog/archives/002146.html, but when trying to do a kernel module build I got stuck at this:

Code: Select all

$ /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
 * Stopping VirtualBox kernel module                                                                                                                 
 * Cannot unload module vboxnetflt

even trying to force-reload the module won't unload vboxnetflt.

Many other threads would blame the Qt installation but mine seems to be ok:

Code: Select all

$ dpkg -S usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4
libqtcore4: /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4
libqtcore4: /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4.5.0
libqtcore4: /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4.5

Code: Select all

$ apt-cache policy libqt4-core libqt4-gui
libqt4-core:

Any idea? Help is very much appreciated.

Try using the software source instead and install via synaptic, instead of downloading the .deb. Uninstall the .deb first before trying this.

So you should:

Code: Select all

wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Add this line to software sources:

Code: Select all

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian jaunty non-free

And install virtualbox from synaptic (not OSE).

I uninstalled VirtualBox via Synaptic, added the key and the software source and installed VirtualBox via Synaptic (not OSE).
The result is exact the same as before.

This is my dmesg:

Code: Select all

$ dmesg | grep vbox
[   30.721272] vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently...
[   30.721276] vboxdrv: Successfully done.

[  515.667673] vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently...

[  515.669056] vboxdrv: Successfully loaded version 2.2.4 (interface 0x000a0009).

so I asume that the vboxdrv kernel module has no problem, but vboxnetflt is still unable to unload
Any thoughts?
