VirtualBox display error NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED

[nicolyon]

I always got this error with the version 2.2.0 not in previous version. I can't start a vm by VirtualBox or by VBoxManage i always got an popup with the error NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED.

I have checked forum so i look in my tmp but i don't have any permission issue and i try to launch the vm in the root account.

I also try to launch the VBoxSVC by hand for looking message i got this :

[11:31:01 root@nico ~]# /opt/virtualbox/sbin/VBoxSVC

Confirmed, on all account. Reverting back to 2.1.4 in exactly the same configuration and the problem is gone.

Also checked permissions / UID , GID of /tmp/.vbox-whoami-ipc/ which is all fine.

Confirmed problem on my package build for Zenwalk. I get the error message at the end of creating a new VM using the GUI wizard. All permissions seem to be ok. Works ok if compiled with --disable hardening. Someone posted in the forum that it also works if compiled in debug mode. I can't confirm this yet but will give it try. Also had the same issue with 2.1.4-3.
