Win XP boot problem in Virtualbox for general user
hello all,
recently i installed virtualbox 1.6.4 on my fedora 9 in virtual box i installed windows XP by logging as a root user! the installation was completed and i could use the Windows XP in root without any problem. now i tried to use it in general user mode, so i added the user 'thinesh' to the vboxusers group. eventhen..i logged in user 'thinesh' and started virutual box OS 'windows XP', the virtual box OS window says as Quote:
i tried searching the forum and could not find the solution for this. can you people, help me thanks |
Try changing the permissions of the VIRTUAL BOX hard disks. I think you will find that root only has access to them.
They should be in ~/.VirtualBox/Machines make the current user owner of all the files |
I do changed it as you mentioned.., it works :-) now!
thanks jax8. but i have to invoke the virtual box thru command line as #sudo VBoxSDL -vm "WINDOWS XP" this boots the OS without any issues.. so far.. but invoking the Virutal Box from the Menu or Desktop shortcut, shows error window as Quote:
