Does VirtualBox start when you invoke it from a console? Oh wait, I think I've found the problem. Please logout from X and relogin. I bet that should fix the problem. I suppose this happens when you had app-emulation/virtualbox installed before and then switch to virtualbox-bin. The virtualbox installation leaves some environment variables back that need to be reset to virtualbox-bin compliant values (which should happen on a logout/relogin into X). I followed Ian's steps and got to the same error. Lars suggested a logout and a log back in again to fix the problem, he was correct. A simple logout and a login fixes the problem the virtualbox-bin GUI will run. I have my user in the virtualbox group "vboxusers". I gonna close this bug. It's simply a problem with the environment when you replace vbox-bin with vbox-nonbin or vice versa without a relogin. |
