I have exactly the same problem. Just to add from the VBoxSVC.log:

The issue persists with the newly released 6.1.14 version. (In reply to Lori from comment #2) > The issue persists with the newly released 6.1.14 version. Sorry, I meant 6.1.16 I solved the issue on the one of my machines that had this problem. It was a problem with the ownership of the directories where the VirtualBox binaries reside. The have to belong to root:root I fixed this with: # chown root:root /usr # chown root:root /usr/lib64 # chown root:root /usr/lib64/virtualbox The binary version used to install in /opt/VirtualBox/ and therefore I did not notice the problem. According to https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16759 the parent folders of the virtualbox binaries have to belong to root:root since 5.1.20 Maybe this could be checked by the ebuild? (In reply to Hermann Mundprecht from comment #4) > I solved the issue on the one of my machines that had this problem. [...] I can confirm that this solution fixes the issue on my machine as well. For some unknown reason, both /usr and /usr/lib64 (and /usr/lib64/kde4) were owned by UID 1002 GID 1002, which no longer exists on my system. (Perhaps a legacy of some past installation?) Resetting the ownership of these directories to root:root fixed the issues with running virtualbox as a normal user. Thank you! I confirm that I needed to change my /usr folder ownership to root and that fixed the issue. VirtualBox could really improve their error dialogs...

I have been using app-emulation/virtualbox-bin until recently, when it was removed from the tree. After switching to the source ebuild app-emulation/virtualbox, I can no longer start existing or newly created VM. This is the error I get in a dialog box: --- The virtual machine 'VM' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: MachineWrap Interface: IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df} --- Based on web searches this seems to be a relatively generic error, with different potential root causes. A while back I started a thread on the forums trying to solve the issue: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1119409.html There were several helpful suggestions that I tried, none of which helped, you can see all details in the thread. To summarize: - I tried both stable and testing versions. They both build correctly, the GUI starts with no error, but I do get the above error when starting a VM - I tried with both my existing VMs and newly created VMs - I tried removing the existing config and starting from scratch - I tried rebuilding the modules, and rebooting several times - I tried running as root, to make sure it's not a permissions related issue - I tried switching back to the binary version, it worked with no issues, switching back to source based I get the failure again > eix -Ic virtualbox [I] app-emulation/virtualbox (6.1.14a@10/04/2020): Family of powerful x86
