VirtualBox-6.1.18-142142-Linux_amd64.run is causing the segmentation fault bug that other people have reported above. It happens to me as both root and user. Dropping back down to the testbuild version VirtualBox-6.1.97-141967-Linux_amd64.run works fine for me.
After installing today's -current updates VirtualBox-6.1.17-141968-Linux_amd64.run, no longer runs.
It will install, but it won't run.
It has worked just fine with the 5.10.y series, until now, so I booted back to the 5.10.5 and had the same problem. I'm guessing that means it is not the kernel(?).
Trying to run VirtualBox as root returns the following error,
Due to issues with VirtualBox and the 5.10 kernel I had decided to stay with kernel 5.4 until VBox at least runs in a more predictable / stable manner

Running -current (kernel 5.10.9 and multilib glibc 2.32) and Virtual Box works ok as user, but indeed login as root and running it in a terminal,
vbox crashes with segmentation fault. There isn't any other message.
edit- I realized that my root account isn't in the vboxusers group.
But adding root to that group and running 'VirtualBox' in a terminal
gives exactly what bitfuzzy posted above https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post6209920
Root can run VBox and create a vm in Slackware 14.2, I'm just creating a FreeBSD vm (VBox is 6.0.24).
(and root isn't in the vboxusers group)
Could it be some VirtualBox or kernel policy against? Or some problem with permissions.
No custom policies, and it's not a problem really as I don't run VirtualBox as root anyway.
I was curious to see if root would run it without any issues (it didn't)
Root was added to the group after the first attempt to run as root resulted in errors, to see if it made a difference (it didn't)
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib."

OK. The test builds page has been updated and this is what I've found so far:
Test build 6.1.x revision 142299 along with its companion extension pack, does NOT fix the problem, i.e., it won't run as root, but once the extension pack is installed, see the last line in post #5 above, it runs as user.
Development revision 142300 and Extension Pack development revision 142298
WILL run both as root and as user.

I also have been experiencing this.
I had been running VirtualBox-6.1.97-141967 on a AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics with 32 GB RAM on Slackware64 Current fully updated including Updates of Wed Jan 20 03:08:10 UTC 2021 and 5.10.9 huge kernel. Everything was working fine.
I updated to VirtualBox-6.1.18-142142 and have been experiencing Seg Faults for VirtualBox.

And yet it works with 6.1.18-142142 if I remove NetworkManager-1.28.0-x86_64-2.txz
I did this before in December and had the same affect. Recompiling NetworkManager & libproxy did not resolve the problem. It is something deeper down that is affecting this in one of the dependent libraries.
In the end I went to the Development Stream and everything worked with the standard NetworkManager package installed.
At that particular time I tried the Test Build Stream and got
bash-5.1$ strace -o out-1.log virtualbox
(process:2516): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 10:26:34.792: cannot register existing type 'NMAgentManagerError'
(process:2516): GLib-CRITICAL **: 10:26:34.792: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed
(process:2516): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 10:26:34.792: cannot retrieve class for invalid (unclassed) type '<invalid>'
Segmentation fault
but found I could go to the Development stream of VirtualBox and it worked and with the NetworkManager package installed.
There is something that the Testbuilds & 6.1.17 & 6.1.18 does not work well with the Slackware64 Current NetworkManager and/or one of it's dependencies.

I gather this is a Oracle issue.
I am getting a similar error with VirtualBox 6.1.18 r142142 , however the kernel panic scrolls a few times so there all sorts of errors - so I could only get a screenshot - also after installing --Current - I was able to boot just fine, but the trouble started after installing the guest additions.
