Try "sestatus" and if appropriate temporarily, "sudo setenforce 0" Hi Ned, be sure I know what I'm doing, most of the time ;-) As stated before this is ls: > ls -l /dev/sdd* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 32 15.

Mai 17:58 /dev/sdd1 And groups: > groups users disk vboxusers And if I run "VirtualBox" from the very same user console and try to start the guest it just tells me this: VirtualBox VM 4.2.12 r84980 linux.amd64 (Apr 12 2013 13:54:04) release log 00:00:02.276059 Log opened 2013-06-05T13:11:55.974012000Z 00:00:02.276067 OS Product: Linux 00:00:02.276069 OS Release: 3.9.2 00:00:02.276071 OS Version: #3 SMP Tue May 14 16:51:05 CEST 2013 00:00:02.276107 DMI Product Name: PowerEdge T620 00:00:02.276120 DMI Product Version: 00:00:02.276130 Host RAM: 64513MB total, 414MB available 00:00:02.276135 Executable: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox 00:00:02.276136 Process ID: 25942 00:00:02.276138 Package type: LINUX_64BITS_OPENSUSE_11_4 00:00:02.280649 Installed Extension Packs: 00:00:02.280673 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack (Version: 4.2.12 r84980; VRDE Module: VBoxVRDP) 00:00:02.300572 Using XKB for keycode to scan code conversion 00:00:02.309659 Power up failed (vrc=VINF_SUCCESS, rc=NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005)) 00:00:02.436711 ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) aIID={db7ab4ca-2a3f-4183-9243-c1208da92392} aComponent={Console} aText={The virtual machine is not powered up}, preserve=false I consider this to be some strange bug in vbox. -- Regards, Stephan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
