Virtualbox error (NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED ) after Linux 4.20 and VBOX 6.0 update (Arch Linux)

3

After upgrading my Arch Linux system (Linux 4.20) and rebooting it, it fails to start VBox (now Vbox 6.0) Error message is: NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED.

Vbox kernel modules are loaded (see below).

It seems everything ist fine, I don't know where to look for wrong config/install. If I do VBoxManage list -l I am getting same error messages below. /tmp folder is writeable for root and vboxuser

Any ideas?
