Please run the command as user root. The "Tip!" above might actually help to resurrect the situation for you:
zypper in --force virtualbox virtualbox-host-kmp-default virtualbox-qt
Afterwards you could re-run the "rpm -V ..." command above and compare outputs.
If you suspect that some permissions are wrong for some programs, you can also check for that (again as "root"):
chkstat --system
If this indicates something *is* wrong, you can even set the permissions to their proper value (also as "root"):
chkstat --system --set
HTH, cheers.

rpm -V virtualbox virtualbox-host-kmp-default virtualbox-qt /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxNetDHCP should be root:vboxusers 4750. (wrong permissions 0750) /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxNetAdpCtl should be root:vboxusers 4750. (wrong permissions 0750) /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxHeadless should be root:vboxusers 4750. (wrong permissions 0750) /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxSDL should be root:vboxusers 4750. (wrong permissions 0750) /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox should be root:vboxusers 4750. (wrong permissions 0750)
Thx. This indeed appears to be wrong. Do you have a group "vboxusers" on your system, and are you (your user ID) member of that group? You can check that by running the following command as "root": grep vboxusers /etc/group If the output shows something like vboxusers:x:SOMENUMBER:YOURUSERNAME you're OK. If the group exists, but you're not member of it, you can fix that by running the following command as "root": usermod -a -G vboxusers YOURUSERNAME In any case, the permissions appear to be wrong on your system, so I'd suggest you either re-install the packages ("zypper in ..." above), or get the permissions fixed for the already installed packages ("chkstat --system --set"). Once this has been done, you should logout from your desktop session and login again. If this still doesn't help, you should send us the following: id # run as your normal user, not "root", not via "sudo" chkstat --system # run this as "root" Cheers. l8er manfred
