Cant to launch VirtualBox in Arch Linux [SOLVED]

Smit · 2018-01-21 08:09:39

I've used to use VirtualBox in Mint like a charm but it is not working on Arch . had downloaded VirtualBox-5.2.6-120293-Linux_amd64.run file from Oracles website.and Installed it by

sudo ./VirtualBox-5.2.6-120293-Linux_amd64.run

And when I launch it I get this:-

smit@SmitAspire:~$ virtualbox
VirtualBox: Error -610 in supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime!
VirtualBox: dlopen("/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxRT.so",) failed: <NULL>

VirtualBox: Tip! It may help to reinstall VirtualBox.

I've tried to install it from AUR but I am getting the same result.

Why the hell would you install it that way when it's available in the repos?

Edit: This appears to be a pattern, you download random crap, extract it wherever, and ask why it doesn't work. Packages exist for a reason.

As I mentioned at the last line of my post:-

I tried AUR

Not very well

Smit, as noted previously you seem to want to install everything the "windows way" where you download binary bundles from the upstream source and run it with root access on your machine. I refrain from comment on whether this is sane on windows, but it most certainly isn't on any variety of linux, and most definitely not on a rolling release like arch linux.

More importantly, one of the main things that sets arch linux apart from other systems is it's package manager. If you do everything you can to avoid using your system's package manager why on earth are you using arch in the first place? Actually I'd say you aren't using arch linux: you may have started with an arch linux base to build your own hybrid system of brokenness. And we really can't help you with that.

If you want to refuse the advice of this community, that is your choice. But the stop asking for advice from this community. You can't have it both ways.

*lol*

The error is btw. all over the interwebs and the usual answer is: file permission fuck-up.

Sorry guys !!

As a complete a noob (Not too noob)to arch Linux its too hard for me. If I had Make community mad then pleas forgive me . Even If I am using Linux from my childhood , I was using it for gaming and watching movies and other stuff on Mint. I was not aware about other capabilities of Linux.On mint i was using there GUI package manager.I heard of apt package manager just a few months ago. but when I started going to college I saw windows on a Very large scale!! . So I decided to switch to windows but as a Linux user from child hood it was very scary for me. So I switch to Linux again but this time on arch as a lot of googling ,I find that Arch Linux gives the most latest technology and it's more cool.So sorry if I had post any non-sense . Please forgive me .

Arch is not cool. If you want cool, you want Void.

I refer
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/installation_guide and

Note that we do not support any other installation guides than the official one on the wiki (your first link).

Your best shot at Arch will be if you keep reading the wiki entries related to your tasks until you understand them. If something about the content is not clear, feel free to ask here. If you are not sure which article in the wiki addresses your issues, again, feel free to ask here.
If you had started your Arch voyage accordingly, this thread would not have been necessary as you would have realized that pacman is the preferred method of installing software on Arch.
