Opening system settings freezes the machine on Ubuntu 17.10

I have just installed Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) on my machine. When opening system settings, the machine just freezes up. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
Doing this in terminal, you're gonna reset control center (worked for me):
dconf reset -f /org/gnome/control-center/
I purged and reinstalled my nVidia drivers and then it worked.

BSoD on vagrant up (KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED) - Windows 8

I have a problem with Vagrant, trying to initialize a virtualbox with laravel/homestead box.
I have installed latest version of Vagrant (1.7.4) on my Windows 8 OS.
I have installed Oracle VirtualBox 5.5.0.
Then I did this in windows Command Prompt:
vagrant add box laravel/homestead to add the laravel homestead box
vagrant init laravel/homestead
and
vagrant up
After vagrant up somewhere in the process the system fails with BSoD (KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)
Any ideas of what i could have done wrong, or have anybody experienced this problem?
Thank you!
Make sure you don't have Hyper-V windows resource active.
If you had installed Docker before check this, coz Docker needs Hyper-V.
In my case this works for me
Search for "Windows resource" on your windows start menu, and click on Enable or Disable windows resources, find Hyper-V, uncheck all checkboxes and OK. Restart your machine after this.

I had almost same issue(BSOD gave error SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION).
Yesterday I installed Docker on Windows 10 and today I tried to "vagrant up"(using VirtualBox Provisioner) and got the BSOD. Hyper-V was conflicting and I turned it off from "Windows Features" and the issue got resolved.

Installing MAC OS useing virtualbox On Windows 8.1

I am trying to install Mac(OSX-Mavericks) using virtualbox On Windows 8.1.
Everything works fine But, when MAC Installation setup starts in virtual machine, it keep on loading and do not start the installation wizard stays on the first screen.
I have waited for a log time like 3-4 hrs but unable to figure out the problem as there is no error.
I am using a dell(Inspiron 3537).
I have installed Mac on my previous Samsung laptop successfully in the same way.
I will provide other information on demand as I'm not sure where the problem is as setup loads but not starts the installation process.
Thanks in advance
enable virtualisation on your BIOS, it may helps.
Open an administrator CMD shell and try this:
cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Virtualbox"
VBoxManage modifyvm <name_of_your_vm> --cpuidset 00000001 000306a9 00020800 80000201 178bfbff
Then close/VirtualBox and open again (to save your new settings). Boot OSX with "-v" flag.

Genymotion error at start 'Unable to load virtualbox'

I've installed the genymotion+virtualbox package on Windows 7 64-bit and everything goes fine... But when I start Genymotion it presents me an error message Unable to load virtualbox.
VirtualBox is installed and I'm able to start it manually. I've tried to install the packages separately, updated virtualbox to 4.2.16 but nothing worked.
I've already read genymotion FAQ but it did not help.
I have spend all day to solve this error since none of the answers worked for me.
I found out that oracle virtual box doesn't install the network adapter correctly in windows 8.1
Solution:
Delete all previous virtual box adapters
Go to device manager and click "Action" > "Add legacy hardware"
Install the oracle virtual box adapters manually (my path was C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netadp\VBoxNetAdp.inf)
Now that virtual box adapters is installed correctly, it needs to be setup correctly. (the following solution is like many other solution in here)
Start Oracle VM VirtualBox and go to "File" > "Preferences" > "Network" > "Host-only Network"
Click edit
Set IPv4 192.168.56.1 mask 255.255.255.0
Click DHCP Server tab and set server adr: 192.168.56.100 server Mask: 255.255.255.0 low address bound: 192.168.56.101 upper adress bound 192.168.56.254
Now click OK and start genymotion
Had the same problem, Uninstall Genymotion, install VirtualBox stand alone from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads then install the Genymotion package without VirtualBox.
Try closing Android Studio/Eclipse if it's open. It worked for me.
In Linux at least, I had to restart VirtualBox, running this command on terminal:
/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox restart
Seems to be the same on Mac OS X.
What worked for me in Windows 7 is to remove the Host-only Network (in Oracle virtual box Preferences menu [CTRL+G] -> Network -> Host-only Networks). Genymotion will recreate it automatically at the next virtual device start. For the record; I'm using a Nexus S 2.3.7 virtual device.
Open Genymotion in Windows as an administrator. My Genymotion works only in this mode
FIXED SOLUTION
Run below command in terminal, It denotes where is your virtualbox install on MAC/Linux.
$ which vboxmanage
/usr/local/bin/VBoxManage
Genymotion search the virtualBox in /usr/bin/VBoxManage while it is located to /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage , you need to create the symlink to that location , Run in terminal to fix it.
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/VBoxManage /usr/bin/VBoxManage
I am using Intellij IDEA and same error happened to me, I found that the path to genymotion folder was not configured properly. Either open settings using File > Settings or press Ctrl + Alt + S then in IDE Settings check if the path to the genymotion folder is correct or not.
Since Android Studio are almost similar to Intellij IDEA so you can apply the same steps above to Android Studio as well.
Actually it seems like Genymotion has an issue with the newer versions of Virtual box, I had the same issue on my Mac but when I downgraded to 4.3.30 it worked like a charm.
Verify that GenyMotion is in your PATH environment variable. I noticed mine was not auto populated, so once I entered it, it was fine.
For Windows there are 2 installers. Did you use the bundle containing VirtualBox installer?
It is call Windows 32/64 bits (with VirtualBox).
Don't ask what this has to do with that , but by right clicking the genymotion application file and changing to compatibility to Vista solved the problem!
I also experienced this when I upgraded operating system from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. Un-installing Virtualbox and re-installing worked for me.
Close Android Studio (if Android Studio is running)
Run Genymotion as administrator
that's all! simple.
try launching it via android-studio/eclipse plugin. Thats how I had similar issue when launching it from ubuntu.
