This problem occured while attempting to install virtualbox. I was installing it in an attempt to overcome a problem that started after system updates on 12/12/14, after those updates VMplayer failed to run, every attempt to run resulted in my system returning to the ubuntu login screen. I uninstalled/ reinstalled vmplayer no result. I upgraded to the latest VMplayer no result. Finally tried virtualbox, no result. As far as I can tell something that happened on 12/12/14 has destroyed my systems ability to run virtualization.
