I've found that installing VBox does not enable or start it. Try doing that with systemctl enable/start.

(In reply to Frank Griffin from comment #2) > I've found that installing VBox does not enable or start it. Try doing that > with systemctl enable/start. Thanks for looking at this. I will continue to gather info on this in the next days. Let me clarify. The error messages are displayed when you attempt to launch an already set up client. In this case the M8 x86_64 Plasma Live-DVD. Installing, launching Vbox from a desktop icon and the setup of a client all worked just fine. Also I want to note that my two primary computers are both Intel I5, running M7 and use a UEFI boot. Vbox runs just fine on those platforms. The test platform here is a very new Dell Laptop, I5 also with a UEFI boot.
Virtualbox still uses rc.d scripts, so the systemd services are generated at boot time. On my system ... # chkconfig --list 2>/dev/null|grep virtualbox virtualbox 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off What's the result on that system?

Just to make sure I spun up an M7 Plasma install on the same platform and installed Vbox to it. And sure enough it installed cleanly then created and booted to a working desktop a client M8 x86_64 Plasam Live-DVD So to my relief it does not appear to be this new Dell laptop I've attached the installed list_m7_installed_packages_list.txt

Virtualbox runs fine on M8 Cauldron since last update. I always restart host system before really using VBOX. M7 client is OK. On M7, Virtualbox is OK too on x86_64 Closing this. Feel free to reopen if such bug occurs again.
