VirtualBox not running properly

10-13-2011, 05:28 PM

Hi,
I installed Virtual/box from the official repos. However when I try to run a
Virtual OS it gives me the following error. http://i.imgur.com/sBzl4.png I
followed all the instructions after installing it.

Did you add your user to the vboxusers group?

Have you tried to run?
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Again?

I think you mean rc.d here, but there is no init script anymore. To
build the modules /usr/bin/vboxbuild must be used now.

Even kvm doesn't seem to work. I loaded the kvm-amd module and added myself
to the kvm group. When I try to run qemu with kvm I get this error:
Could not access KVM kernel module: Permission denied
failed to initialize KVM: Permission denied
No accelerator found!

Did you relogin after adding your user to the group?
