It feels like I'm missing something but I have no clue what is missing.

How did you install VirtualBox? I can tell you that using the command line it works and draws in the necessary missing dependencies. See below.

I don't know what else to tell you other than downloading the the package and then installing it as I did. I would purge the install you have, remove the repo and do it manually as I have seen a few times when the repo install gets pulled from the wrong repo.

I see exactly the same symptoms.

This applies even when installing directly from a downloaded RPM as suggested above:

/var/log/vbox-install.log looks identical to the OP's.

dmesg has nothing relevant (assuming this warning is benign):

Code: Select all

[root@localhost Downloads]# dmesg | grep -i box
[28821.700837] capability: warning: `VirtualBox' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)
[root@localhost Downloads]#
Ideas? Any more logs/data I can provide?

Cheers,

Pete
