Public bug reported:
I can run Virtualbox, and create a new VM, but when I try to run it, I
encounter:
Effective UID is not root (euid=1000 egid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000) (rc=-10)
Please try reinstalling VirtualBox.
where: SUPR3HardenedMain what: 2 VERR_PERMISSION_DENIED (-10) -
Permission denied.
I have tried re-installing Virtualbox:
sudo apt purge virtualbox-*
sudo apt install virtualbox
but no help.
I made sure my user was added to vboxusers group, but also no help
there.
Help?
