Public bug reported: Not sure what might have triggered this, but since a few days ago, I am unable to launch VirtualBox from Ubuntu 16.10.
This is what I see on the CLI when installing via apt-get: ● virtualbox.service - LSB: VirtualBox Linux kernel module Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/virtualbox; generated; vendor preset: enabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2016-11-04 12:21:53 CDT; 3ms ago Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) Process: 22900 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/virtualbox start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Nov 04 12:21:48 arcacw100113298 systemd[1]: Starting LSB: VirtualBox Linux kernel module...
