Description
I just upgraded to version 4.3.10, and now my Windows 7 guest will not start up. It merely displays a progress bar that says "Starting Virtual Machine."
Reverting to 4.3.8 fixed the issue. The host system is Debian Testing ("Jessie") and Gnome 3.8.
Here is the indicator that appears:

Running Ubuntu 13.10 host. When I sudo apt-get update and upgrade, I get the following:
Err http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/ saucy/contrib virtualbox-4.3 amd64 4.3.10-92957~Ubuntu~raring 404 Not Found Failed to fetch http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/pool/contrib/v/virtualbox-4.3/virtualbox-4.3_4.3.10-92957~Ubuntu~raring_amd64.deb 404 Not Found E: Some files failed to download
From my perspective, it looks like the 64-bit saucy/contrib download link has not been updated. Should I report this as a separate ticket?
As a workaround, if I download http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/pool/contrib/v/virtualbox-4.3/virtualbox-4.3_4.3.10-93012~Ubuntu~raring_amd64.deb and install it myself, will I still automatically receive the next update from the VirtualBox deb repository?
Please check if the VBoxSVC service is still running when you try to start the VM with VBox 4.3.10. Is the any VBoxSVC.log file available (in ~/.VirtualBox)?
