We're using virtualbox @ work for projects that have contributors running on different OSs....
In order to install the latest virtualbox extension pack through my i3wm, I have to run virtualbox as root.
In order to launch virtualbox UI on i3 as root, I needed to deactivate qt extentions via:
sudo QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 virtualbox
yay for jumping through hoops
