21034	Fail to contact COM server => Fixed in SVN	efayol		"I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.4 on x86_64 with Gnome on X11.
Since I've updated to 6.1.36, I cannot use any vbox command nor the VirtualBox VM Manager GUI: they stall a few minute then end with an error about COM.

- The VirtualBox GUI displays an error dialog with the following message: ""
Failed to acquire the VirtualBox COM object.

The application will now terminate.



Callee RC: NS_ERROR_ABORT (0x80004004)
""

- Command ""VBoxManage list vms"" sends the following to stderr:
VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the VirtualBox object!
VBoxManage: error: Code NS_ERROR_ABORT (0x80004004) - Operation aborted (extended info not available)
VBoxManage: error: Most likely, the VirtualBox COM server is not running or failed to start.

Reinstalling Virtualbox 6.1.34, it is working fine again."	defect	closed	VM control	VirtualBox 6.1.36	fixed	COM		other	Linux
