I have noticed that app-emulation/virtualbox-5.1.20 with virtualbox-host-5.1.20 fails to start my Windows 7 and 10 VMs giving the error message: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows <NO>. The VM session was aborted. Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: SessionMachine Interface: ISession {7844aa05-b02e-4cdd-a04f-ade4a762e6b7} where <NO> is 7 or 10, for Windows 7 and 10, respectively. These two VMs (no change in configuration at ALL!) start perfectly fine with app-emulation/virtualbox-5.1.18 and app-emulation/virtualbox-host-5.1.18. My Windows 10 vbox file, if it helps to reproduce this error, is: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- ** DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE. ** If you make changes to this file while any VirtualBox related application **

All other VMs (including for the BSDs: FreeBSD 11, 11-STABLE, NetBSD 7.1, OpenBSD 6.0; Icaros desktop, OpenIndiana, Linux, FreeDOS and ReactOS) work fine with both app-emulation/virtualbox-5.1.18 and app-emulation/virtualbox-5.1.20.
For me, after upgrading to 5.1.20, Linux guests stopped working: in Gentoo guest, plasma session faield to start, and KDE Neon guest doesn't boot anymore, too (host has 5.1.20 version).
I have similar issue with 5.1.20 (didn't check 5.1.18). When I start VirtualBox from console, I got following output: libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: i965 libGL error: unable to load driver: i965_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: i965 libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast For some reason VirtualBox can't load host OpenGL. Disabling 3D-acceleration in guest setting allows to boot VM, however another issue arise: VirtualBox states that: No audio devices could be opened. Selecting the NULL audio backend with the consequence that no sound is audible. HostAudioNotResponding Another workaround for OpenGL is to set LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib64/mesa, to folder where drivers binary lays; setting it /usr/lib64/dri where symlinks present doesn't work! IMO, something is terribly spoiled.
Might be relevant that in all my VMs I have VirtualBox Guest Additions (VBGA) 5.1.18 installed in all my Linux and Windows VMs. It was installed from the VBGA ISO inserted into the VMs.

At first I thought it was due to the VM being suspended with the previous 5.1.18. However, a few tries later (installing/deinstalling Guest Additions), I can state the culprit is VirtualBox 5.1.20 with Guest Additions installed: if I launch my Win7 VM with VirtualBox 5.1.20 before installing its GA, the VM starts. But, if later on I install GA and reboot the VM, not only it does not complete the start, but Plasma itself becomes non-responsive to mouse clicks even tough I can move the cursor around. I can only gain control back if I swith to a console tty and reboot the host.

I deinstalled GA by booting the Win7 VM into Windows Safe Mode, and then the Win7 VM starts OK normally with 5.1.20 when *no* GA are installed.
I am having the same problem on two different systems (Desktop and Laptop): Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: SessionMachine Interface: ISession {7844aa05-b02e-4cdd-a04f-ade4a762e6b7} I reinstalled 5.1.18 and everything started working again. Seems only to be the Windows VMs (WinXP, Win 7, and Win 10).
Some other information about this in this gentoo forum thread : https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8060154.html
I keep getting this error with 5.1.22 too!
This issue also occurs with app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-5.1.22.115126.
Yes. This 'feature' is still there. So downgrade back to 5.1.18 release is only possibility. :-(
I still have problem after installing 5.1.22, went back to 5.1.18.
Seeing https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16693 it looks like VirtualBox refuses to load shared libraries with 777 permissions. On gentoo the dri libraries in /usr/lib64/dri are symlinks to libraries in /usr/lib64/mesa (thus 777) and VirtualBox is not smart enough to determine that they are symlinks and not actually world writable libraries, thus denying loading.
Created attachment 472320 [details, diff] diff_5.1.22_dlopen_fix Patch from https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16693
Placed the patch provided by Frank into /etc/portage/patches/app-emulation/virtualbox-5.1.22 VirtualBox 5.1.22 compiling and all my VMs are working again.
commit 711bd6953ba3b6e086e30f77048b693f31082d73 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Author: Lars Wendler <polynomial-c@gentoo.org> Date: Thu May 11 14:07:06 2017 app-emulation/virtualbox: Fixed OpenGL issue (bug #616238). Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.5, Repoman-2.3.2
Any chance to backport this fix to 5.0.x? Unfortunately, 5.1.x is broken in different way, so I'm stuck with 5.0.x for now: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/15863 LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib64/mesa workaround does work.
