Feisty Fawn 1.5.2 DEB Isn't working after SVN 1.5.52

[Fabio Zendhi Nagao]

Hi, I was using 1.5.52 and forgetting some well know bugs it was alright. I've removed my current SVN and installed the brand new Feisty Fawn 1.5.2 final release. For my surprise my Virtualbox insn't running anymore, when I click in the VBox icon @ start menu nothing happens, when I click in the VBox in the launcher @ AWN the icon keep jumping but nothing happens... what should I do? Please, help me!

Hi, I loaded it from the Terminal and the error messages are:

VirtualBox Qt WARNING: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169

Major opcode: 147 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0

Qt WARNING: Failed to open device Qt WARNING: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169

Major opcode: 147 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0

Qt WARNING: Failed to open device Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The xml format in 1.5.2 is not forward compatible with 1.5.52. That at least one thing, but I can't really say what the segmentation fault is all about.

You also need to make sure the 1.5.52 VBox daemon is not running when trying 1.5.2. They are not compatible. That's a likely cause of your problem.

Hum... how to check it?

I tried: nagaozen@nagaozen-ubuntu-704:~$ grep vbox /etc/services vboxd 20012/tcp # voice box system vboxd 20012/udp nagaozen@nagaozen-ubuntu-704:~$

Does this mean something?

[Frank Mehnert]

No, this is completely unrelated (vboxd == voice box system). Please make sure that no VBoxSVC daemon of the SVN version is running:

/bin/ps aux | grep VBox

should not list any entries (except the grep command itself).

[Frank Mehnert]

Is this still an issue?

[Frank Mehnert]

These errors should not occur with VirtualBox 1.5.4. Even if the xml format between the current SVN version and version 1.5.4 is different, you should now get a clear error message which is stating where the problem is. Closing.
