when tryi9ng to start new machine i get this message:

The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect..
VBox status code: -1909 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE).


Result Code:

The website said this but didn't help:
If you get a message saying "VirtualBox kernel driver not accessible, permission problem" when starting VirtualBox immediately after installation, make sure that your user account is a member of the vboxusers group. This group is created when VirtualBox is installed, but you will need to manually add all users to it who are to be allowed to run VirtualBox. The documentation accompanying your Linux distribution should provide information about how to do this. If not, the following should also work on most Linux systems. These commands should be run as the Administrator user from the command line.

# groups
[Shows a list of groups for that login name]
# useradd -g -G ,,...,vboxusers

^i entered this into the terminal and it didn't work when it got to the last command.


The main point it HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Oh, that's easy peasy to solve.



You get a fuck-off big hammer and smash the bloody thing. Sorted.

Yes, that is one way, probably thee quickest as well!

not the cheapest though. Don't worry i sorted it.

sorry for delay - logging in and out again should have sorted it.... I hate linux required this ....

Actually i had to add my username and some other files to System>Adminastration>user groups then add username to vbox users sorted and done. Too bad i downloaded spanish vista.
