Hi. I'm installing Virtualbox on my 10.3 system. When I start it, I get this information: The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect.. How do I set the permissions ? -- Venlig hilsen - Best regards - Erik Jakobsen Licensed HAM-RADIO with the callsign OZ4KK http://www.urbakken.dk Registered Linux user #114875 with http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I just used the YaST "Security and Users" module (which requires root credentials) to add my non-privileged user account to the appropriate group. It was easy, and worked fine. I'm sure you could do that from a root command shell as well, if you're more comfortable with that, but I haven't needed to research the commands to do that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Anyone know how to add a windows domain user to this group? I have attempted various methods using quotes, backslashes, spaces and none appear to work. Of course, this has to be done on cli as domain users are not shown under "Users" in YaST. Using 10.3 on windows AD authentication (because of work and I prefer Linux).

Go into YaST , Security and Users, User Management. Select your user, and click edit (at the bottom). Open the 'Details' tab, and you will see a list of all the available groups on the right. Check vboxusers, press Accept, then Finish. Logout, then login again. It should now work, and I am not your father's brother! -- Bob openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3-default, KDE 3.5.8 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
