Same problem on factory with 2.1.4 and 2.2.0 on 11.2 Alpha0. Running VirtualBox as root on any box, it gets stuck at "futex(0x69bbcc, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1, NULL" as seen with "strace -s 256 -f VirtualBox". If I "ssh -X" in as root from another box, VirtualBox works fine, but locally as root on either box, doesn't work - works fine as user. Bug #487060 submitted 2009-03-19 19:20 MDT, but no response so far. I have seen the same problem with qjackctl which also runs OK as user. Some stuff just won't run as root because of the FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE problem. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
