Package: virtualbox-ose Version: 3.1.2-dfsg-1+b1 Severity: normal Virtualbox refuses to start just any virtual machine. When I try to start a VM (in the example below a newly created, empty VM), the following happens (without opening any window):

The same problem occurs if I * start the VM from the Qt GUI * try to start a VM as root * use a 32 bit kernel instead of the amd64 one * use kernel version 2.6.30 instead of 2.6.32 * use the precompiled modules packaged with Debian for the 2.6.30 kernel instead of the dkms ones Now I ran out of ideas what else to try. Suggestions?
