Virtual box

[Jim Rosser]

You need to go to System -> Administration -> Users and Groups  and add the
virtualbox group to your user by clicking manage groups -> add groups ->
selecting your name and typing *vboxusers *for your group name.  Once you
have done that then logout and log back in.  You should now have rights to
use virtual box.
