Permission denied.
That error message means that the VirtualBox executable isn't installed
suid root (which the hardening expects and complains about by pointing
at the user id information for the running process).
So had I not hardened the OS, VBox would have started Normally?
Or is there some extra step when installing VBox from the Software
Manager?
No, just doing the installation should be sufficient. The executables from
openSUSE are hardened to prevent various hacks. Apparently, your installation of
the openSUSE packages over the Oracle code failed, and you have a mixed set of
files. Run YaST->Software Management and search for virtualbox. You should have
at least 4 packages installed, namely python-virtualvox, virtualbox,
virtualbox-host-kmp-default, and virtualbox-qt. If you see Virtualbox-5.1, that
is left over from the Oracle installation. Force all 4 of the above to be
reinstalled, and report back if that helps.
