trying to start a running installation of virtualbox I get

VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: libnvidia-tls.so.270.41.06: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and it seems that it doesn’t work with the new 275 build I got pushed when updating. Updating virtualbox didn’t help. Besides uninstalling the 275 version of nvidia and installing the 270, any other way to fix this?

Peter have you tried to reinstall the vbox kernel drivers? If not, open up a terminal session and run the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

I started a thread which includes some good info on VirtualBox you can find here:

What VM do you recommend for openSUSE?

Thank You,

Peter have you tried to reinstall the vbox kernel drivers?

They have been rebuilt and all, certainly not the issue.
Thanks

So,

Since I needed the beast running I went back to the 270 version and this is working again. Would still love to find out how to fix it the other way round if possible…

It looks like you should rebuild vboxdrv after updating nvidia. I didn’t know that either but looking at VirtualBox.so, here’s what I get on a nvidia system:

# ldd /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so  | grep nvidia
libnvidia-tls.so.275.21 => /usr/lib64/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.275.21 (0x00007fd8b2dce000)
libnvidia-glcore.so.275.21 => /usr/lib64/libnvidia-glcore.so.275.21 (0x00007fd8b0fa6000

and this library is in package x11-video-nvidiaG02-275.21-7.1.x86_64:

# rpm -qf /usr/lib64/tls/libnvidia-tls.so.275.21
x11-video-nvidiaG02-275.21-7.1.x86_64

So if you update the nvidia driver without rebuilding vboxdrv, VirtualBox.so will still look for a library which has been replaced since you updated x11-video-nvidiaG02.

Btw, I looked at VirtualBox.so with ldd on an ATI based system: it didn’t seem to require any ATI specific library. Interesting enough! … :slight_smile:
