VirtualBox 3.2.10 fails to start

[Alexander]

Trying to execute VirtualBox results in the following error: $ VirtualBox VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: /usr/lib/libQtOpenGL.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZNK7QPixmap9isQBitmapEv

Host: Fedora 13 i386: $ uname -r 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686

VirtualBox version: 3.2.10r66523, installed as update of previous version from virtualbox repository. Downgrade to version 3.2.8 does not solve the problem.

yum provides libQtOpenGL.so.4

[Alexander]

yum info qt-x11

Duplicate of #7623.

[Alexander]

No, this is not a duplicate. As root VirtualBox can't be started too.

[Frank Mehnert]

Which VirtualBox package did you install (exact package name please)?

[Alexander]

$ yum info virtualbox-3.2 ..... Name : VirtualBox-3.2 Arch : i686 Version : 3.2.10_66523_fedora13 Release : 1 Size : 91 M Repository : installed From repo : virtualbox

Sorry but this package installs and works very well here on a Fedora 13 installation. And the missing symbol _ZNK7QPixmap9isQBitmapEv is provided by /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4.6.3 which is part of qt-x11 as well. So it looks like your installations is somehow screwed up. You might want to re-install qt-x11.

The error message says ".../usr/lib/libQtOpenGL.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZNK7QPixmap9isQBitmapEv...", not "/usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4.6.3".

I tried to reinstall qt-x11, error message is changed: "VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: /usr/lib/libQtOpenGL.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QWidgetPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv", but VirtualBox still does not work.

[Frank Mehnert]

I know what the error messages says but I also know where the symbol comes from (checked locally). The symbol _ZN14QWidgetPrivate15checkWindowRoleE comes from /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4.6.3 as well. Are you 100% sure that your Linux installation is up-to-date and that you don't have any private packages (except VirtualBox) installed? Could you attach the compressed output of

rpm -qal qt-x11\*|grep libQtGui.so.4

to this ticket?

[Alexander]

rpm -qal qt-x11\*|grep libQtGui.so.4

[Alexander]

I solved the problem. In my system installed software for hardware key eToken NG (​http://www.aladdin-rd.ru/en/). This software installed it's own copies of Qt-libraries in directory /usr/lib/eToken/: libQtCore.so.4.2.3, libQtGui.so.4.2.3, libQtXml.so.4.2.3, and symlinks in the same directory: libQtCore.so.4, libQtGui.so.4, libQtXml.so.4. I removed symlinks, after system restart VirtialBox is working.

Ticket can to be closed. Thanks.
