Guilty as charged. I had followed some horrible advice a few days ago to get my $2.66 Duke Nukem game running, and it appears to have made it to the next system upgrade or reboot. I had extracted an ubuntu libc6 deb and copied things into /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. I found those items in my history and saw what was copied over, then I deleted all files with "2.15" in them. Unfortunately, this immediately broke around 20 simlinks that were now pointing to 2.15 instead of 2.13, and I suddenly could not execute any terminal commands as I had lobotomized my system.

I booted into a Waldorf live usb, mounted my root, and one-by-one manually fixed the broken symlinks to point at the 2.13 versions and rebooted. Voila, all is well again.

Suffice it to say that I have learned my lesson and surprised myself in figuring out what to do and actually having it work.

Looking through syslog, the segfaults are all the same for vbox, google-chrome-stable, chromium-browser:

I have no idea what that means but it seems important.

Nothing recent in the apt sources. I ran a memtest and checked all disks with fsck and there are no hardware issues. Can't figure it out. VBoxManage (command line utility to start up a vm) gives a segfault immediately as well, I think there must be some common dependency between the two that is not playing nice.

I suppose I'll keep googling and see if this arises anywhere else.

Hello,

after doing an auto-remove and a dist-upgrade last night, at least 2 of my frequently used applications are suddenly non-functional.

Google Chrome stable immediately segfaults upon launch. Virtualbox will not launch either: "Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object."

What was removed / upgraded:

After a reboot, neither of these work and perhaps this is wider than I know so far.

I can't find anything with Google. Any help would be appreciated.
