Virtualbox does not run: NS_ERROR_FAILURE

Solution 1:

The most simple decision, that i found:

  1. enter into the folder /home/$user/.VirtualBox/
  2. find there file VirtualBox.xml-prev, this is backed up the configurations of Virtual Box
  3. delete VirtualBox.xml
  4. and change name VirtualBox.xml-prev to VirtualBox.xml.

Solution 2:

Probably due to some updates. It happened to me. A simple command can fix the problem:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
