 |
|
Hello,
After installing VirtualBox, I'm having trouble loading the module. Consider:
gustavo # modprobe vboxdrv
FATAL: Error inserting vboxdrv (/lib/modules/2.6.38-gentoo-r6/misc/vboxdrv.ko): Invalid module format
Thanks you!

| Have you re-emerged virtualbox-modules since your latest kernel update? |

Good gravy! Don't run that thing as root!
Look, you need to run the vast majority of your programs as a normal user. When you run common stuff as root, any bug or vulnerability in that program can bring the entire system down.
You need to add your normal user to the vboxusers* group.
Do this as root:
| Code: | | gpasswd -a $USER** vboxusers |
* I think that's what it's called. I could be mistaken.
** This is the name of your ordinary user. |

Hello! Sorry by no warn:I already write this command. But still yes, I no can start the program. See:
| Code: |
hackum gustavo # gpasswd -a gutavo vboxusers
gpasswd: user 'gutavo' does not exist
hackum gustavo # gpasswd -a gustavo vboxusers
Adding user gustavo to group vboxusers
hackum gustavo # VirtualBox
bash: VirtualBox: command not found
hackum gustavo # virtualbox
bash: virtualbox: command not found
hackum gustavo #
|
Or
| Code: |
gustavo@hackum ~ $ VirtualBox
bash: VirtualBox: command not found
gustavo@hackum ~ $ virtualbox
bash: virtualbox: command not found
gustavo@hackum ~ $

| You should have an applications menu somewhere. Do you see any VirtualBox icon in there? |
