[SOLVED] VirtualBox

[rchokler]

I'm trying to install virtual xp on virtual machine but i have small problem
can you help me please ?

you have to go into user / group administration in the system menu and add yourself to the vbox group if i remember correctly.

as the messages states you just have to add your user to vboxusers grp, you could easily do this with gpasswd -a USERNAME vboxusers, after that you have to login again to apply changes! (EDIT)

Moved to Virtualization forum.

The exact name of the group you need to add your user to is "vboxuser."

I'm very new with Ubuntu ,my apologizing for some silly questions
i tried to do you suggestion but

alon@alon-laptop:~$ gpasswd -a alon vboxusers
gpasswd: Permission denied.

Try this instead:
sudo adduser alon vboxusers
Log out, then back in for the change to take effect.

Great work, thak you very much
can you explain me what was i doing :)
and what is the different between those two sentence you wrote ?

[ichbinesderelch]

the only difference was that you executed the command with superuser rights (kinda as root), you don't have permission to edit users to group as normal user

Sure. The command I gave you goes like this:
sudo = run command as root
adduser = just what it sounds like ;)
alon = name of user to modify
vboxusers = name of group to add user alon to
