hi all when i try to load virtualbox i get the following error

Code:

Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified
Qt WARNING: could not connect to display :0
Qt FATAL: This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: minimal, offscreen, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.


im not sure what to do i tried adding app-emulation/virtualbox qt to my package.use and reinsalll virtualbox but that didnt work.

We don't know ANYTHING about your system. Can't trouble shoot. In the meantime, "qt" is not a USE flag. "qt5" is needed and should be default on a desktop system. Also, are virtualbox modules running? Those would be vboxdrv, vboxnetadp, and vboxnetflt.
Code:
lmsod | grep vbox


Provide the output of "emerge --info virtualbox" here between Code tags.

What happens if, at the same shell where you got that error, you run xmessage Test? You may substitute any other basic X11-using program, such as xterm, if you do not have xmessage. At what shell did you run the virtualbox command? Is it running as you or as root?

Nothing stands out to me in your emerge --info virtualbox, other than the fact that you are running unstable (amd64~). virtualbox is working fine on my similar fully stable system with virtualbox-6.1.24.

Is your system a new build? Has virtualbox ever worked on it before? If yes, what changed?
