I installed virtualbox and it allowed me to create an engine titled
Win2k but now that I'm ready to install the OS I receive the following
when I attempt to start the engine.
Any help? I used the terminal and added my login name as a user but no
help.
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).

As the error says I think u don't have access to the VirtualBox kernel driver from your account. So you should* add your login account to the 'vboxusers' group. You can do it with command
groupadd vboxusers
usermod -G vboxusers -a yourloginuser
or
GUI System -> Administration -> Users and Groups -> Manage groups
Hope this will help u.
Cheers..

I'm sorry, as soon as I logged off and in it works. Nobody ever accused
me of being able to follow directions.
Thank you.

Does anyone know if version 4 of virtualbox in the repo is OSE or PUEL version?
If it's PUEL, I'm guessing the extension pack for 4.0.2 needs to be downloaded from the virtualbox site.
Thanks, as always, for the help.

And of course, add the correct source to your Software Sources:
"Note: VirtualBox has been moved from non-free to contrib with 4.0, so
please adjust your repository settings.
Add one of the following lines according to your distribution to your
/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick contrib
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid contrib

I've added the repo, and the key, and done the update to the repo list.
Since the apt-get of vbox 4 is in the repo, it does not indicate whether this version is the OSE or PUEL version. I know that in previous versions there was a difference in functionality between them so I need to be sure that the PUEL version is the one I maintain on my system. That was the reason for the original question. Do you know if the version of virtualbox 4 in the repo is OSE or PUEL?
Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the help.

What is the output of:
$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-3.2
and
$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-4.0
and
$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-ose
If you have the PUEL 4.0.x version you will see:
$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-4
N: Unable to locate package virtualbox-4
gg@gg:~$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-4.0
virtualbox-4.0:
Installed: 4.0.2-69518~Ubuntu~maverick
Candidate: 4.0.2-69518~Ubuntu~maverick
Version table:
*** 4.0.2-69518~Ubuntu~maverick 0
500 http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/
maverick/contrib i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
The 'http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/' indicates it was
loaded from virtualbox & is the PUEL version.
VB 4.0 is not yet available in the ose version from the Ubuntu repos:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=virtualbox-ose
and the last 'apt-cache' policy command above will result in the
following if you do not have the OSE version installed:
From this I can see that -
apt-cache policy is a good tool to know about and use;
It appears as though I can install 4.0 from synaptic which will also cause the removal of 3.2;
version 4 in the repo is the PUEL version;
- Have you installed the extension pack from oracle for 4.0.2 as well?
Thanks much for the reply - and the information re: apt-cache policy!
