[ubuntu-uk] virtualbox , Cant get it to work?

[Matthew Wild]

Open Terminal and type:  sudo gpasswd -a yourname vboxusers
(replace yourname with your username that you are logged in with),
press enter and when prompted enter your password. Log out, log back
in again. You should now be able to run it fine.
