cannot run virtualbox on ubuntu 20.04

pn flag

The virtualBox used to work properly and there was no error before.Now I can't run any of the VMs, and see the message

The virtual machine has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005) Component: MachineWrap Interface: IMachine {300763af-5d6b-46e6-aa96-273eac15538a}

when I try to start a VM in a terminal, I'm getting this error:

VirtualBoxVM: Error -610 in supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime! VirtualBoxVM: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxRT.so",) failed:

VirtualBoxVM: Tip! It may help to reinstall VirtualBox.

I tried sudo chown root:root /usr/lib, but it didn't solve the problem.

I reinstalled my virtualbox and installed the latest version but when I want to run it I receive this error

WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (5.19.0-35-generic) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

       sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

     You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

Is virtualization enabled in the UEFI/BIOS?

The problem was due to excessive permission, and solved by

sudo chmod go-w /usr /usr/lib /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxRT.so

I asked a similar question a while ago and here is the answer that got me on track. My first guess, however, is that you should completely deinstall everything related to virtualbox and reinstall from the official release because that is supported.

Official Virtualbox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads does not auto-update. You can stay on an old official version for as long as you wish. There is a pop-up informing of new versions, but it is merely informational, does not force the update and can be turned off.

If your Virtualbox is auto-updating it could mean a couple things:

You are running official Virtualbox, but you're interpreting the Update Available pop-up as an Update Required, then manually starting the update, which it isn't and you don't have to.

You're running the fork of Virtualbox provided and maintained by your Linux distro, and either they have wired into the fork an auto-updater or their package manager orders the update. They maintain and support their fork, so you'd have to ask them how to stop the auto-updating.

Please note that official Virtualbox has prerequisites, see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq .

We would recommend using official Virtualbox, placing proper weight on the Update Available pop-up as informational only, or shut it off, and then always run the matching Extension Pack, downloaded separately from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads. The EP can be uninstalled & installed inside the main Virtualbox window if your Linux host has a GUI, see the File menu, Preferences, Extensions. If you're running a text-only host, uninstall & install the EP using the 'vboxmanage extpack' command: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08. ... ge-extpack

"We would recommend using official Virtualbox, " Who's "we'? Why do their recommendations carry weight?

"We" is the Virtualbox website. You can get support there if you wish. By the way, is your user in the vboxusers group?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
