Hi guys, I was recently using a test build of VirtualBox on my Fedora 38 machine. I wanted to uninstall this test build so I ran a command which, from what I understand, was supposed to uninstall the test build of VirtualBox I had installed:

sudo VirtualBox-7.0.9-158223-Linux_amd64.run uninstall

After running this my terminal crashed and I started getting some weird behavior. I gave my machine a reboot to see if that would sort it out. But that didn’t fix anything. No icons are loading and I can’t start a terminal or open some applications like Firefox.

It seems like the VirtualBox uninstall command uninstalled something it shouldn’t have, but I’m not sure what. I’ve not encountered a problem like this before. Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Ctl+Alt+F2 can get you to a terminal.
