cd VirtualBoxSources; vi Config.kmk Uncomment #VBOX_WITH_VNC = 1 to just VBOX_WITH_VNC = 1 save and close and then run: dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc dpkg -i virtualbox_packagename.deb This would eliminate your whole process there and it automatically modprobe's all the modules. Then for healthy concern, I wouldn't give /dev/vboxdrv read/write access for the current user but instead do: sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a `whoami` This adds the current user (non-root) to the vboxusers group which owns vboxdrv and other things. Another benefit of building the package is that the vbox devs provide the debian build process and also, the binaries are in the correct paths, not in out/linux.x86/release/bin but like in /usr/bin/, for instance. Just a thought.
