VirualBox on Hardy

[Willis Taylor]

Box 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:
quote]

$ 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  /quote]

Thanks NoOp the output s;

vboxusers:x:124:root,th1bill
 

It looks right and the install is from a download at the virtualbox site
and is 2.2 for Hardy.  Using Synaptic I uninstalled and purged and
reinstalled and still have the problem.
