I only see the failure when running virtualbox as non-root. === One more important detail: the failing open of /proc/self/auxv apparently comes from the following file: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jan 13 06:54 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux- gnu/libjpeg.so.8 -> libjpeg.so.8.0.2 I say this for two reasons: 1) Just a few lines before the failing open in my strace, the most recent open is of this libjpeg.so library. 2) Scanning -all- the files opened in that strace, the -only- one of them that held the string "auxv" was this libjpeg.so library. Apparently libjpeg-turbo8 (the package that owns this libjpeg.so library on my Kubuntu 12.04 system) is opening auxv in order to determine if some advanced SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON) are available, to accelerate baseline JPEG compression. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014487 Title: virtualbox: Error opening file for reading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1014487/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
