[SOLVED] Vboxdrv in Virtualbox

[phildaman46]

Why is it whenever I boot into Ubuntu, I have to set the permissions to me on the vboxdrv that Virtualbox uses? If I don't set the permissions to me the user, Virtualbox will give me a error and will not run the OS I'm virtualizing.

Like this error:

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:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}

Every time I boot into Ubuntu the permissions change back to root. How do I keep the permissions set to me?

Go to System>Admin>Users and Groups>Manage Groups and in the vboxusers group enable your username
