Hi! I Installed VirtualBox and than Vagrant and Docker with some images. Before Vagrant and Docker VirtualBox worked, but after - I cannot start it. Get an error.

Error getting COM-object VirtualBox.

Runtime error opening '/home/user/.config/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml' for reading: -38(Access denied.).

/home/vbox/vbox-5.1.30/src/VBox/Main/src-server/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[550] (nsresult VirtualBox::init()).

I tried to reinstall but the error is the same. What can I do with it?

Sorry, but you need to get Docker/Vagrant support on a Docker/Vagrant support forum. We officially know nothing about them here.

I can tell you that the error says that you (i.e. that user account) has no permission to access the personal documents of account '/home/user'. To run VirtualBox VMs you must be logged in as the user who created the VMs, since the data for the VMs is stored in that users personal document space. You can move VM files to a shared area, but then you really need to know what you're doing.

To add a couple of details, Vagrant and Docker are programs that rely on VirtualBox but modify VirtualBox's configuration files in unknown ways to us. They're not supported on these VirtualBox user forums, they have their own Vagrant support and Docker support channels. If you are having this problem with a standalone version of VirtualBox, then we can continue this discussion here.

Says it all. Not a VirtualBox issue since it worked before you installed these additional 3rd party programs.
