Instant crash of virtualbox 4.1.2 app on startup?

Post by xilvar »

So I've never used virtualbox before, but I was thinking of trying to making some of my old images work on virtualbox.

I'm running the current version of snow leopard. (10.6.8)
I installed it, and ran the app which never shows a window and then silently vanishes.
After a while I tried rebooting which didn't help.

Using the how to make a dump instructions I ran it from the command line and it core dumped.
"Bus error (core dumped)"

I have a dump file however its 94MB bz2 compressed. I wish I had less ram so it was smaller :)
Sadly I'm in an cafe right now so I can't push even 94mb in a reasonable amount of time. I'll have to push it onto a server later tonight.

I wasn't really clear on what to do with the core file next?
