Hi Daniel, I don't know but it seems that you have lost your vbox user rights. I think it may be simpler to just do the following:
System -> Administration -> Users and Groups
: Unlock (with your administrator password)
: Select Manage Groups
: Select vboxusers from the list of groups
: Select Properties
> In the list of Group Members
- If your name is already ticked then this is not the
solution for you, sorry.
- If your name is not ticked then tick it and this should
allow you to work with VBox with your own user name.
I am afraid that this may be just part of the solution but it may make
life easier for you by giving you access writes to VBox.
My penny's worth.
Alan.
