Can anyone verify that VirtualBox works and runs on 64bit? I spent a large amount of time trying to get it working for a user, and they seemed to be doing everything right: * kernel module was loaded * user was in the vboxusers group
Did the same...
...but it still produced the "not in vboxusers group or module not loaded". They tried the .run on virtualbox.org and it worked fine there. I tried to pressure him into a bug report but I don't think he'll file one (that was yesterday), so I'll ask here. :-)
Same here. I found that after I installed VirtualBox, /dev/vboxdrv were owned by root:root. So adding the user to vboxusers didn't make a difference. I ended up chown'ing it to root:users, but root:vboxusers is probably what you want to try.
Similar problem perhaps to bug 309089.
Kind thoughts,
I know this is trivial, but did they logout the user(s) after adding them to the vboxusers group ?
Citing the VirtualBox User Manual: "The group vboxusers will be created during installation. Note that a user who is going to run VirtualBox must be member of that group. Also note that adding an active user to that group may require a restart of the session of that user. This should be done manually after successful installation of the package."
