Looking through the libjpeg code, it says in a README to send bug reports to jpeg-i...@uc.ag.
So I have just sent the following message there: ========================================== As reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1014487, and at https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/10707, recent versions of virtualbox (in Ubuntu 12.04 and the latest download from Oracle) are (sometimes) issuing an error message on startup: Error opening file for reading: Permission denied I have tracked this down to the perror() on line 49 of libjpeg- turbo/jlibinit.c. I am seeing the error when I start up virtualbox as a non-root user, though just why /proc/self/auxv would not be readable by the current non-root user at that point in its startup is not clear to me. I posted code in the first post of the first link above (see the routines flgets() and examine_auxv()) which -might- be more reliable. But it's using a sledge hammer to swat flies, calling popen("LD_SHOW_AUXV=1 /bin/true", "r") and scanning the output via a pipe ... so I'll be surprised if you find it suitable. ========================================== -- 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
