Hubert is this a new installation or upgrade of OS11.1GM? I tested this in new installation and it worked without problem (i just had to put my login to vboxusers group) If it is an upgrade, look into /etc/permissions.easy and check VirtualBox permissions. Also if you have secure setting (you use permissions.secure), you must be root to use virtualbox. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
