I've been running virtualbox for years. Today I upgraded from 4.3.38 to 5.0.32 and when I run it I get this error:
Code:
Qt FATAL: ASSERT failure in QCoreApplication::sendEvent: "Cannot send events to objects owned by a different thread. Current thread 1cdcab0. Receiver '' (of type 'UITaskMediumEnumeration') was created in thread 1a93d50", file /var/tmp/portage/dev-qt/qtcore-4.8.6-r2/work/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6/src/corelib/kernel/qcoreapplication.cpp, line 539
Aborted

I re-emerged virtualbox and the qt dependencies: qtcore, qtgui, libXinerama, and opengl, but I still have the same problem. No idea where to go next.

Update: I tried running virtualbox as root and it ran OK. Permissions issue?

Upgrading QT would be in order, 5.6.2-r1 is marked stable.

I have had qt5 installed since last December, but it does not appear that virtualbox will use it. There is a qt4 USE flag that I tried disabling, but that left me with only the command line tools. Not an ideal situation. I tried USEing qt5, but it just took that to mean qt4.

I'm thinking of removing qt4 completely but I'm afraid of it breaking too much (like libreoffice).

The only qt USE flag available seems to be qt4. If you include it it builds the qt-based gui. If you don't, even if you include USE=qt5, it doesn't.

Yes I see now ... my bad. I use ~amd64 myself. Try to run it with strace perhaps? You should post your emerge --info.

Ran it with strace. It looks like some kind of permissions issue, but I don't understand why. I'm a member of the vboxusers group. I tried running it as root; it got a little further but then it crashed with the same qtcore error.

Did this ever get figured out? I'm having the same problem with virtualbox 5.1, and Qt 5.7.

No. I gave up and now I'm using the binary virtualbox package, virtualbox-bin.

I had the same problems. My solution was:
Code:

Kernel:     4.12.12
Qtcore:     Slot 4: 4.8.7-r2
            Slot 5/5.7: 5.7.1-r3
VirtualBox: 5.1.26

I use kernel 4.9.72 with "genkernel all"

As user "root":
Unmerge VirtualBox and it's component:
Code:
emerge -va --unmerge app-emulation/virtualbox app-emulation/virtualbox-additions app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle app-emulation/virtualbox-modules


Block QT4:
Code:
nano /etc/portage/package.mask/qt
content: dev-qt/*:4

Then run:
Code:
emerge --sync
eselect news read
emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse --backtrack=300 --changed-deps=y --keep-going=y @world -va
FIX ALL ERRORS, BLOCKS, ETC.

Then run:
Code:
emerge --depclean
revdep-rebuild


Then run:
Code:
emerge -av app-emulation/virtualbox app-emulation/virtualbox-additions app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle app-emulation/virtualbox-modules


Add this line to /etc/conf.d/modules:
Code:
modules="vboxdrv vboxnetflt vboxnetadp vboxpci"


The run:
Code:
gpasswd --add USER vboxusers


Poweroff and restart the computer, login as USER, open a terminal and run "virtualbox". Check if there are any errors or serious warnings.

Tried masking dev-qt/*:4 and re-building and rebooting.
Still no success.
Being somewhat unfamiliar with KDE, is there some tool that can explore and identify processes identified in the error message of virtualbox?
My desktop is Fluxbox, I only use some KDE applications so I have very few processes running at the time I attempt a VirtualBox startup.
I have been successfully using VirtualBox for years.
Code:

lyallp:

Your problem appears to be KDE related. I only use Xfce. Tried KDE in the past and found it not reliable on low end equipment.

Disable Fluxbox and KDE. Restart your PC and start VirtualBox from the command line. If it works, look at KDE. You may have to dig into the source code to get the error information.

It may help if you change your profile from 13 to 16 and update your glibc and gcc.

If necessary, go back to basics. Make a backup of your hard drive to an external drive then "dd" your hard drive with 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4096". Then do a fresh installation following the handbook. Use profile: [16] default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop (stable). Keep it simple! If your hard drive is less that 2TB use MBR partition, grub-static and a stable kernel version such as 4.9.72. Forget about processor/kernel vulnerabilities at this stage. When done and all is working as it should be, install VirtualBox WITHOUT GUI. Once this is working OK. install your favorite Desktop. I use Xfce on 20+ desktops and notebooks. No hassles, it just works.

Remember: Keep it Simple.

As stated, Fluxbox is a display manager, an alternative to xfce, even more lightweight and faster.
I don't use KDE Desktop, only a few KDE apps, none of which are running at this time.
I build VirtualBox with the QT5 use flag because if I don't, it has no UI, which works, as far as I have tested.
I am already on profile 17.0 desktop stable.
I have the latest glibc built.
I already have gcc 6.4 installed and configured.
In fact, I have only in recent weeks done a complete --emptytree rebuild of my system, whilst attempting to resolve a separate issue.

Tried downgrading from 5.2.10 (~amd64) to 5.1.32 (amd64) with no success.
FYI: I only have 32 ~amd64 packages installed, none of which are KDE infrastructure.

Please post the contents of your /etc/portage/make.conf file and emerge --info output. Maybe I can then identify the cause of the problem.

lyallp:

I believe that the problem is caused by not using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" in /etc/portage/make.conf and unstable applications and libraries.

Have look at my configuration. This is rock solid and is used on home use and commercial used systems. 7 or 8 with Windows as VirtualBox guests. The VirtualBox base directory is usually located at ~/VirtualBox.

Instead of spending many hours of trying to fix what may be impossible to fix, make a backup of your / and /boot, or make space on a separate partition or drive and create a user for testing. Then do a new stable install using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" in /etc/portage/make.conf. Use grub-static if your boot drive is smaller than 2TB.

Once it's up and running, install your applications One by One, always testing that your system and and installed applications keep working. Avoid unstable (~) items. Install and test unstable software (~) only in a VirtualBox client.

Remember "Keep it Simple"!

Unmerge the ~ apps one by one. starting with those that depent on Qt. After each unmerge run:

emerge -va --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse --backtrack=300 --changed-deps=y --keep-going=y @world

emerge --depclean
revdep-rebuild

and re-emerge VirtualBox

Maybe tis will eliminate the library that causes the problem with the VirtualBox GUI.

The othor option is to build VirtualBox with full debug info and run it in gdb with breakpoints to find what causes the problem.

Good Luck.

Threw out VirtualBox and installed VirtualBox-bin

That won't start either, with a
Code:
Failed to initialize COM or to find the VirtualBox COM server. Most likely, the VirtualBox server is not running or failed to start.

The application will now terminate.

Callee RC: NS_ERROR_FILE_TARGET_DOES_NOT_EXIST (0x80520006)

as root or my normal user.

Has anyone got a working VirtualBox on Gentoo where they have masked dev-qt/*:4 ?

At work I use virtualbox without any qt4 lib installed (version 5.1.38, 5.2.10 and 5.2.12 before I don't remeber if I had qt4 installed or no).

I masked dev-qt/*:4 on 20+ systems during transition from qt4 to qt5.

To test, mask dev-qt/*:4 and run:
Code:
emerge -va --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse --backtrack=300 --changed-deps=y --keep-going=y @world

This will show you qt4 stuff that may need to be removed or updated to qt5 and available updates.

When I masked qt4, I did a @system @world complete rebuild, threw out or ~amd64 packages that didn't build.
So, there is no qt4 left on my system.
I tried using the bin version but that complains of no server - I can't win a trick.

lyallp:

I guess the best solution is the wipe (dd) the harddrive and install a stable system.

I can send you my "Cut & Paste" installation script for openrc, static IP, grub-static, Xfce desktop, This will cut down keyboard time to about 10~15 minutes.

Requirements:
Code:

current Gentoo installation disk (install-amd64-minimal-?????????.iso) and a second PC for accessing your PC by ssh or SystemrescueCD.
The output/content of:
lspci -k
uname -a
cpuid2cpuflags
/etc/fstab, 
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/conf.d/hostname
/etc/conf.d/net
login name for the non-root VirtualBox user.
