Thanks Paul. I'm not quite sure if this adds anything, but when I tested it on my 12.04 desktop box, /proc/self/auxv had permissions set to -r-------- (400) with the user and group set t whoever is logged in at the time.
In the case of my desktop - that is whoever is logged in either via ssh or desktop login: vbox@Thor:~$ ls -ld /proc/self/auxv -r-------- 1 vbox vbox 0 Jun 29 07:53 /proc/self/auxv charles@Thor:~$ ls -l /proc/self/auxv -r-------- 1 charles charles 0 Jun 29 07:53 /proc/self/auxv Same on the server. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014487 Title: virtualbox: Error opening file for reading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1014487/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
