Bug Description

I've got a system with VirtualBox and Virtual Machine Manager both installed. I can do a virt-install connected to qemu:///system but not to vbox+unix:///session. When I try the vbox one I get

ERROR internal error: unable to initialize VirtualBox driver API

VirtualBox is 5.0.24_Ubuntu r108355

virsh -V shows that it thinks it can talk to VirtualBox:

$ virsh -V
Virsh command line tool of libvirt 1.3.1
