Virtual Box (Oracle) has gone AWOL

[jeanrouge]

I had a space problem: Oracle VB stopped working with the message:-

Location: '/home/citrixmanager/.config/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml', line 1 (0), column 1.
/home/vbox/vbox-5.0.18/src/VBox/Main/src-server/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[534] (nsresult VirtualBox::init()).


Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
VirtualBoxWrap
Interface:
IVirtualBox {0169423f-46b4-cde9-91af-1e9d5b6cd945}

I copied the files across to another directory
I uninstalled VB Rebooted and Reinstalled but I still get the same message.
I sure hope some out there know exactly what to do!

As long as you're uninstalling, what happens when you install VirtualBox via Lite Software (Menu > System > Lite Software)?

I had what maybe similar problem a while ago.

See if the following posts help.?

Hi Torreydale I can't find your Thanks link or perhaps it isn't operative.  Thank you anyway.

I have only just restarted looking at Linux Lite on an old mac which explains my silence (since 2016). 
Now I am struggling to install software as I want to use it as my main machine.  But I've posted elsewhere.
