I can't start virtualbox as user

[srebrenka]

Hi After upgrade virtualbox to the version 6.1.36-152435~Ubuntu~focal I can't start it.

$ virtualbox Segmentation fault OS: $ uname -a Linux elx711804cz 5.14.0-1049-oem #56-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 12 10:23:08 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ cat /etc/os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="20.04.4 LTS (Focal Fossa)" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS" VERSION_ID="20.04" HOME_URL="​https://www.ubuntu.com/" SUPPORT_URL="​https://help.ubuntu.com/" BUG_REPORT_URL="​https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/" PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="​https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy" VERSION_CODENAME=focal UBUNTU_CODENAME=focal

In the same time I can start virtualbox as root.

I installed virtualbox on the following way:

sudo dpkg -i /home/etklas/Downloads/virtualbox-6.1_6.1.36-152435_Ubuntu_focal_amd64.deb

Wonder if you're lacking some package dependencies... "dpkg -i" just installs the VirtualBox package, and if dependencies are missing that can easily lead to crashes.

"sudo apt-get install -f" after the "dpkg -i" command is taking care of the dependencies.

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

Hi srebrenka,

Have you tried VirtualBox 6.1.38?

As a cleaner solution, I would suggest to reinstall VirtualBox:

apt purge VirtualBox-6.1
apt install ./virtualbox-6.1_6.1.38-153438~Ubuntu~focal_amd64.deb

Hi I didn't try since when I upgraded virtualbox the latest version was 6.1.36. I'll try with the newest version. Thanks
