Hi
I’ve recently installed VirtualBox on openSuSE 13.2, but this application doesn’t start and shows me the following error messages :

Edit:
Come to think of it, where did you install VirtualBox from? The packages that come with the system?

Please post the output of: zypper se -si -v virtualbox

Wrap it in code tags, like this:


Whee!

You installed and try to run vboxgtk. This doesn’t work at all!
Remove it and install virtualbox-qt instead, which is the official GUI.

A side-note: vboxgtk is a GTK based replacement for the standard GUI by a third party. It doesn’t fully work with VirtualBox>4.2 any more, and in 13.2 it doesn’t even start any more. As there also seems to be no upstream activity any more (the last change has been made in 2012 IIRC), it has been dropped from the distribution completely 2 months ago. But unfortunately it’s still included in 13.2…

also is VB is not a MUST USE
and you only need a virtual environment

KVM is already ready to install from the gui Yast

a few mouse clicks and it is installed

Well, I don’t want to start a discussion here whether KVM or VirtualBox is “better”.
But, KVM requires hardware virtualization support, whereas VirtualBox runs fine without (as long as you don’t want to use 64bit guests). So depending on your system, KVM might not even be an option (my Athlon64 e.g. doesn’t support AMD-V yet).
And VirtualBox might support guests or might have features that are not supported/possible with KVM (or maybe not).

Just like VirtualBox, no? :wink:
