Unable to start VMs

[satimis]

Hi all,

Ubuntu 12.04 host 64bit
Virtualbox 4.1.12

Today after running;
$ sudo apt-get update and && sudo apt-get upgrade

encountered 2 problems

1)
login problem
host user satimis couldn't be found only guest there.

I fixed it with;
renaming .Xauthority as .Xauthority.BAK

and ran;
$ sudo apt-get -reinstall xorg

now
2)
VirtualBox couldn't be started

$ virtualbox

Implementation of the USB 2.0 controller not found!

Because the USB 2.0 controller state is part of the saved VM state, the VM cannot be started. To fix this problem, either install the 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack' or disable USB 2.0 support in the VM settings (VERR_NOT_FOUND).
