VBox should have created a group on install (which verson of VBox did
you install, the one from the repositories or the PUEL version from
virtualbox.org?). You can check from a terminal by:
$ grep vboxusers /etc/group
The output should look something like:
$ grep vboxusers /etc/group
vboxusers:x:<groupnumber>:<username(s)>
If you get nothing on the above, then you can manually create a group
and add your username via the GUI or:
$ sudo groupadd vboxusers
$ sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers <yourusername>
Then restart:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv restart
