I've installed innonex virtualbox and want to run WinXP virtually.But when i attempt to start the virtual system it says

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).

What to do???????????

The usermod program can alter a user's groups and permissions. To add a user to the vboxusers group, enter the following:


sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers <username>
