![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/b522fc9af12fe5670d5273601d29477a.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hi, Recently VirtualBox stopped working under my OS 13.1 (64-bits). It worked fine till some moment and continue working (same version) under OS 12.3 (64-bits). But at some point it start behave as follows: Virtual Box starts OK, but if I'm trying to start VM or select "Settings" in VB GUI, X server crashes. VBox log contains somesing like that: 00:00:16.270740 Watcher ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) aIID={fafa 4e17-1ee2-4905-a10e-fe7c18bf5554} aComponent={VirtualBox} aText={The object is not ready}, preserve=false Xorg.log: [ 836.384] (EE) [ 836.384] (EE) Backtrace: [ 836.384] (EE) 0: /usr/bin/Xorg (xorg_backtrace+0x3d) [0x585aad] [ 836.384] (EE) 1: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x189819) [0x589819] [ 836.384] (EE) 2: /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x7f15f5fce000+0xf9f0) [0x7f15f5fdd9f0] [ 836.384] (EE) [ 836.384] (EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x0 [ 836.384] (EE) Fatal server error: [ 836.384] (EE) Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting [ 836.384] (EE) [ 836.384] (EE) VBox versions: 4.3.6 and 4.3.4 (both from Oracle site). The only event I could suspect is the update of X server (Dec 28th): xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.14.3.901-4.1.x86_64 Anybody else sees this issue? Any recommendation on how to investigate it?

I've found similar report for older version of Vbox and Fedora. It
turned out that the nvidia glx module has not been re-built.
I'll check on my machine later (though strange that everything else works fine).

<snip> Whenever this happens, the Nvidia module has to be recompiled before VirtualBox works normally. The source from Nvidia is used on my machine, not the module from SuSE repos. HTH.

Yes, that was it. Seems x-server update replaced libglx. Thanks. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
