 Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2010 11:36 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Virtualbox-bin does not start after -uDN world |
 |
|
Hi everybody,
again I experienced some curious behaviour of virtualbox-bin-3.1.8.
A couple of days I was working with vbox-3.1.8 and a WinXP Guest. While it was running I installed some packages like
nvidia-settings
nvidia-drivers
x86info.
I did an emerge -uDN world as well. A day later, after a shutdown, I tried to start it again by clicking on the icon. Vbox seems to start at first, but the initial window, where you choose your guest-systems doesn´t even show up.
I have really no idea where to look at.
What I did so far:
reemerged all vbox related packages (bin, modules, additions, input, video) --> same problem.
unmerged nvidia-* and x86info. --> same problem.
So it actually must have something to do with the full update. But I really cannot remember, what packes have been updatet.... 
Any ideas?? I would appreciate any hint...

Hi Ahenobarbi,
as far as I remember, I did. But I will do it again this evening.
Is it possible to find out, what packages have been installed shortly?

| Is it possible that your world update emerged a new gentoo-sources with the symlink use flag, and updated the /usr/src/linux symlink? Then, even if you didn't install the new kernel, the re-emerge of virtlualbox-modules built them against the wrong kernel. |

I had the same problem here. It was related to the glibc update that fixed a bug with shared libraries.
Symptom: When you start Virtualbox from the console, you can see that the file VBoxVMM.so can not be found.
What helped was a hack that generates links in the lib64 folder to the virtualbox shared libraries:
# find /opt/virtualbox/ -name \*.so -exec ln -s -t /lib64 '{}' ';'
# find /opt/virtualbox/ -name \*.so.4 -exec ln -s -t /lib64 '{}' ';'
(based on: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1465)

PERFECT!!!
Thanks a lot tomtom69. It works again. 
The glibc update was it.
Ahenobarbi: revdep-rebuild said that all is consistant
Section_8: The symlink looked allright.
Anyway, it was an option. Thanks a lot.

Thanks tomtom69! That worked for me as well. I had the same issue where VirtualBox would run fine as root but not as user. |

| I forgot the reference, but this is fixed in 3.2.10. I unmasked it and it works perfectly well (-r1). |

Hello,
I also solved this problem by upgrading to the lastest 3.2.10 (not r1) version which work well. |
