Hi,
Suddenly my VirtualBox instance wouldn't start, the message being
VirtualBox: Effective UID is not root
I remembered seeing this years ago, where the culprit was that /usr/lib/ virtualbox/VirtualBox needed 4755 as permissions. The actual perms:
-rwxr-x--- 1 root vboxusers 158320 10 jan 00:34 VirtualBox
Did a 'chmod 4755' on it and now everything is back to normal. Anybody else seeing this? If so, I'll file a bugreport.
I've put my user in vboxusers group, as I found it more elegant ;-) -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
