virtualbox.org

I have been tranquilly using virtualbox on zorin os linux (ubuntu derivative, has ubuntu kernel), and suddenly i go to launch it and it doesnt launch. so i launch in terminal and i get the error shown in screenshot. Then i reinstall and try to run again but i have the same error. I would love to start programming on qb64 on my xp vm and this turn of events is very depressing and dissapointing and help would be appreciated! thanks!

The question you need to answer is what changed? Did you upgrade the host or VirtualBox?
The error is a GTK error and that would seem to be host related.

@perryg: no i did not upgrade either.

Something must have changed or it would still be working. Perhaps you installed something. You are the only one that can possibly tell.
I would see about checking the host for upgrades and make sure that your GTK packages are not damaged.

@perryg, The only thing that has been going wierd is updates have been failing and i am getting help from zorinos.com forums for that. Maybe ill give them link to this forum subject as it may give a clue to the situationalism

I already have a clue and you have just confirmed it yourself. Something on the host is damaged, corrupt, or packages are out of sync. In any case this is a host issue until you can provide diagnostic information showing otherwise I am afraid.

thank you, @perryg, ill try to fix the problem

strangely though the problem happened after the update errors were rambling @perryg
