Permission problems after installing virtualbox . Now solved
 

Hello everyone .

This has come up on the virtual machine that i started to install yesterday. Can someone point me in the right direction so i can solve this please . Explaining the route i have to take as i am a newbie to Mepis and do not understand the system yet so do find it very confusing .Please excuse my ignorance .

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..
VBox status code: -1909 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE).


Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}


Thanking all in advance

Found all i needed to know in Wiki .

You have to add your username to the vboxusers group. According to this post on the VB forum, you should be able to do that with the ubuntu gui tools if you are not comfortable with the command line tools:
