Hi all,

Since the original VirtualBox 5.1.26 has vboxnet0 was missing, I installed VirtualBox provided by openSUSE Leap 42.3.

I can't get the program to start up. I started from konsole and the results appear below:

VirtualBox VirtualBox: Error -10 in SUPR3HardenedMain! VirtualBox: Effective UID is not root (euid=1000 egid=100 uid=1000 gid=100)

VirtualBox: Tip! It may help to reinstall VirtualBox. mantrid  ~  QSettings::value: Empty key passed QSettings::value: Empty key passed

Is there a workaround?

Roman,

I'm not sure why this is happening to you. On my system, I get

finger@linux-srm7:~/staging> VirtualBox & [1] 3062 finger@linux-srm7:~/staging> Qt WARNING: libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

finger@linux-srm7:~/staging>

At this point, the VB GUI is up and running as expected. That Qt WARNING appears to be harmless. The permissions on VB are

finger@linux-srm7:~/staging> ls -l /usr/bin/VirtualBox -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1994 Jul 31 10:32 /usr/bin/VirtualBox

What packages do you have installed? Perhaps I'm missing a file on my host machine.

The 4 critical packages are python-virtualbox, virtualbox, virtualbox-host-kmp-default, and virtualbox-qt. The other virtualbox-* packages are optional or are for openSUSE guests installed in a VM.

VirtualBox is not starting. Could be permissions problem. VirtualBox & [1] 2631 VirtualBox: Error -10 in SUPR3HardenedMain!

What does the following show on your system:

rpm -V virtualbox virtualbox-host-kmp-default virtualbox-qt

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.

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.

Looks like the comman "chkstat --system --set" fixed the problem. Thanks Manfred Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

rpm -V virtualbox virtualbox-host-kmp-default virtualbox-qt /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxNetDHCP should be root:vboxusers 4750.

Your current installation has a mixed set of files. According to the spec files used to build the VB packages for openSUSE, the following are installed suid: %verify(not mode) %attr(4750,root,vboxusers) %{_vbox_instdir}/VBoxNetDHCP %verify(not mode) %attr(4750,root,vboxusers) %{_vbox_instdir}/VBoxNetAdpCtl %verify(not mode) %attr(4750,root,vboxusers) %{_vbox_instdir}/VBoxHeadless %verify(not mode) %attr(4750,root,vboxusers) %{_vbox_instdir}/VBoxSDL %verify(not mode) %attr(4750,root,vboxusers) %{_vbox_instdir}/VirtualBox

File /usr/bin/VirtualBox is not suid. Your installation shows the wrong permissions.

You could either do a 'sudo chmod 4750 ' on all 5 of those files above, or use YaST to reinstall all the virtualbox packages.

Larry, I used the command "chkstat --system --set" as root. Then I logged out and logged in. Now it is working!! -- Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
