I was working with virtualbox on ubuntu 14.04 suddenly it closed and didn't start afterward. when I tried to load it from terminal it showed me LibQtCore.so.4 file too short, which I've fixed it by reinstalling all needed libraries.

but after rebuilding libraries when I try to open virtualbox from terminal I get : 

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

And there is no clue what should I do to fix this. Also my vlc and clementine players has the same status.

what should I do to fix this?

I have had similar issues with virtualbox myself.

I was running on the latest virtualbox 5.2.6 on my ubuntu 16.04.

I did a purge and autoremove all of its libraries+virtualbox.

Installed previous stable version - 5.1.32 and its extensions.

Everything worked fine ever since.

Try to run these commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get purge virtualbox-5.2.x
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.1

if you can't install it from commandline then go to their website: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Download the 5.1.32 for ubuntu 14.04/16.04 install the .deb file package by:

sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-5.1_5.1.32-120294_Ubuntu_xenial_amd64.deb

Let us know how it goes.
