Can't run VirtualBox after system upate

[tron_thomas]

I am running Fedora 12 on an Intel Core 2 Duo system.
I ran a software update which installed a new kernel (2.6.32.23-170.fc12.i686.PAE) along with many other things.
I am now unable to run VirtualBox which I had installed and running successfully before the update.
I tried removing and reinstalling VirtualBox from YUMEX, and rebooting. This did not help.
When I launch VirtualBox from a terminal, it produces the following output:

VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: VBoxVMM.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm not sure what it is complaining about. The files VirtualBox.so and VBoxVMM.so both exist in the /usr/lib/virtualbox directory.

What can be done to get VirtualBox working again on this system?

The virtualbox module builds against the kernel. The chances are that you need to update

kernel-PAE-devel

and then run

service vboxdrv setup

That's the most common reason, though the error seems different than what I've usually seen.

At any rate, see if kernel-PAE-devel is up to date, if not, it's a different problem.

I think kernel-PAE-devel is up to date. In YUMEX installed components usuually show up green. The entry for kernel-PAE-devel does not show up green, however when I select it YUMEX tries to uninstall it.

when I try

service vboxdrv setup

I get

vboxdrv: unrecognized service

This is already covered here in the forums. Check thread:

It seems to be a glibc issue. I fixed it by uninstalling VirtualBox-OSE and installing the closed version from virtualbox.org.
