This error pops up quite a lot on VirtualBox forums, it seems to be a
generic error message and not have one specific cause. Some typical
things that users report to fix things:
- mismatched ViortualBox and extension pack versions
- incorrect permissions on usb nodes in /dev
- incorrect udev rules
- legacy VBOX* settings in environment
- and a few other oddities
You might end up googling that specific error and following all the
links till you hit the one that applies to you. The first few to get you
