I've just tried with virtualbox_1.tgz, and it builds without a problem, the module installs without a problem, but attempting to start VirtualBox fails. I get no error at all, VirtualBox just hangs. If I attempt to run 'truss VirtualBox', I get the error: Effective UID is not root (euid=1001 egid=1001 uid=1001 gid=1001) (rc=-10) It may help to reinstall VirtualBox. But checking shows that VirtualBox is SUID root: $ ls -l /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox -r-s--x--x 1 root vboxusers 21016 May 17 10:21 /usr/local/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox It seems that I can create a vm: $ VBoxManage createvm --name test VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.2.51_OSE (C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Virtual machine 'test' is created. UUID: 9be28271-55c2-4299-b69a-266c58716db7 Settings file: '/home/gbyshenk/.VirtualBox/Machines/test/test.xml' $ VirtualBox $ ls -l /home/gbyshenk/.VirtualBox/Machines/test/test.xml -rw------- 1 gbyshenk gbyshenk 2302 May 17 10:37 /home/gbyshenk/.VirtualBox/Machines/test/test.xml But VirtualBox itself fails to start -- even if I run as root. System is amd64, 7-STABLE as of 26-04-2009. Does it need to be more recent...? -- greg byshenk - gbyshenk@byshenk.net - Leiden, NL
