Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
This concerns virtualbox-ose 2.0.4-dfsg-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu Intrepid.
VBoxAddIF allows you to create an interface for use by a group (as
opposed to a single user) with the -g option. This creates an entry in
/etc/vbox/interfaces like the following:
vbox0 +vboxusers br0
However, when you attempt to start a VM using host-interface networking
through this device, you get
----
Failed to initialize Host Interface Networking.
VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e}
----
If you create the interface for a single user, everything works.
Obviously, it would be helpful to be able to grant access to the
interface via group membership, because that group can then be
"vboxusers" and the problem of administrating multiple VirtualBox users
becomes a lot simpler (as that particular group already exists to manage
access to other system-level elements of VirtualBox).
