--- Comment #50 from Larry Finger
I'm running into the same issue on tumbleweed.
It doesn't seem to be an issue with the usb permissions as I can access it:
$ find /dev/vboxusb/ -ls 24884 0 drwxr-x--- 5 root vboxusers 100 Sep 2 07:42 /dev/vboxusb/ 67434 0 drwxr-x--- 2 root vboxusers 40 Sep 2 07:54 /dev/vboxusb/004 5423 0 drwxr-x--- 2 root vboxusers 80 Sep 2 07:36 /dev/vboxusb/001 30883 0 crw-rw---- 1 root vboxusers 189, 1 Sep 2 07:36 /dev/vboxusb/001/002 5428 0 crw-rw---- 1 root vboxusers 189, 2 Sep 2 07:36 /dev/vboxusb/001/003 35736 0 drwxr-x--- 2 root vboxusers 120 Sep 2 07:36 /dev/vboxusb/003 39943 0 crw-rw---- 1 root vboxusers 189, 261 Sep 2 07:36 /dev/vboxusb/003/006 32041 0 crw-rw---- 1 root vboxusers 189, 260 Sep 2 07:36 /dev/vboxusb/003/005 2387 0 crw-rw---- 1 root vboxusers 189, 259 Sep 2 07:36 /dev/vboxusb/003/004 1468 0 crw-rw---- 1 root vboxusers 189, 258 Sep 2 07:36 /dev/vboxusb/003/003
$ cat /dev/vboxusb/001/002 m+$ T1 !"; !" !"b
As I get output form the device, I obviously must have access via vboxusers group as a user.
I tried to get more log output, but didn't really work using:
export VBOX_RELEASE_LOG="rem*.e.l.f main gui" export VBOX_RELEASE_LOG_FLAGS="buffered thread msprog" mkdir /tmp/vbox export VBOXSVC_RELEASE_LOG_DEST='dir=/tmp/vbox'
then starting the service manually:
/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxSVC
Then I tried to strace it. The strange thing is that printed on the commandline:
<html><b>Effective UID is not root (euid=1000 egid=100 uid=1000 gid=100) (rc=-10)</b><br/><br/>Please try reinstalling VirtualBox.<br><br><!--EOM-->where: SUPR3HardenedMain what: 2 VERR_PERMISSION_DENIED (-10) - Permission denied. </html>

The strange thing is, those binaries all have the suid bit set.
What happens if you create a new user belonging to vboxusers? Can that account run VBox? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
