You need to load the vboxdrv ~# modprobe vboxdrv If you get an error you can check if /dev/vboxdrv is readable by the group vboxusers and that your User is in this goup. ~$ ls -l /dev/vboxdrv crw-rw---- 1 root vboxusers 10, 59 2008-06-07 13:03 /dev/vboxdrv ~$ groups xxx xxx vboxusers xxx xxx If it's not you can fix it: ~# chmod g+r+w /dev/vboxdrv && chown root.vboxusers /dev/vboxdrv ~# adduser user vboxusers Than re login. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
