OK This means that you are not a member of the vboxusers group. To run vb, you have to be.
Try this as root: useradd -G vboxusers bob (or whatever your username is) L x
benjie1@linux-0fzk:~> sudo su root's password: linux-0fzk:/home/benjie1 # useradd -G vboxusers benjie1 useradd: Account `benjie1' already exists. linux-0fzk:/home/benjie1 #
Sorry. Still Sunday here. . . usermod -G vboxusers benjie1 L x
benjie1@linux-0fzk:~> sudo su root's password: linux-0fzk:/home/benjie1 # usermod -G vboxusers benjie1 linux-0fzk:/home/benjie1 #
Guess I drew a blank, literally!!! It can wait til tomorrow if you want. Thanks. Bob
Checked help in VB and followed some hints and got this:
benjie1@linux-0fzk:~> sudo su root's password: linux-0fzk:/home/benjie1 # sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers username usermod: invalid option -- 'a' Try `usermod --help' or `usermod --usage' for more information. linux-0fzk:/home/benjie1 # sudo usermod -G vboxusers benjie1 linux-0fzk:/home/benjie1 # getent group vboxusers vboxusers:!:1000:benjie1 linux-0fzk:/home/benjie1 #
So this has my username now. Is this significant? See you tomorrow. Bob
You did it correctly the first time: usermod -G vboxusers benjie1 gave no errors and added you to the vboxusers group. Reboot. Now you should be able to start the guest machine. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
