Hi, I just stumbled about this bug in a recently installed lenny. I installed virtualbox-ose and compiled the module with module-assistant. I added myself to the vboxusers group and did a fresh login. Now I have this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ll /dev/vboxdrv
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 62 2007-09-22 10:03 /dev/vboxdrv
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -L virtualbox-ose | grep udev
/etc/udev
/etc/udev/rules.d
/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_virtualbox-ose.rules
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_virtualbox-ose.rules
KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0660"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ groups
users disk cdrom audio video plugdev vboxusers
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-show-versions |grep virtualbox
virtualbox-ose/unknown uptodate 1.5.0-dfsg2-1

virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.21-2-686 1.5.0-dfsg2-1+2.6.21-6 installed: No
available version in archive
and of course virtualbox tells me:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ virtualbox
WARNING: /dev/vboxdrv not writable for some reason. If you recently added the
current user to the vboxusers group then you have to logout and
re-login to take the change effect.
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
So at least I can reproduce this bug. :(
Cheers,
Michael
