[opensuse] OS 42.3, Virtualbox cannot start any more - file permissions
Hi, after the update of Virtualbox it can't start anymore. It says: sudo chmod 4711 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBoxVM Ok, I do that. But in it's strange sense of humor it still asks me to do the same. Even after a reboot... that's what ls -l says: -rws--x--x 1 root vboxusers 158408 15. Jun 16:25 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBoxVM What can I do? -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ha! Virtualbox gives the wrong hint. It asks to change permissions to 4711, but in fact it needs 4750! After chmod 4750 it starts normally. -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Málaga https://www.patreon.com/danielbauer https://www.daniel-bauer.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You need to add that change here, on one of these files (the easy one, I guess): cer@Telcontar:~> grep VirtualBoxVM /etc/permissions* grep: /etc/permissions.d: Is a directory /etc/permissions.easy:/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBoxVM root:vboxusers 4750 /etc/permissions.paranoid:/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBoxVM root:vboxusers 0750 /etc/permissions.secure:/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBoxVM root:vboxusers 0750 cer@Telcontar:~> I guess this is a bug (I have not updated too recently). In fact my file has the correct settings. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
