The init script wants to make sure that the device is owned by the correct group, but unfortunately the group does not get created by the postinst scripts.
You say that the "vboxusers" group does exist already, but I don't think that's the case. It would not say "invalid group" in this case probably. What does "grep vboxusers /etc/group" display? You can probably work around this, by creating the group manually: # Create group: sudo groupadd vboxusers # Add user: sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers [yourlogin] # Then restart the module: sudo invoke-rc.d vboxdrv start ** Changed in: virtualbox-ose-modules (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => dAniel hAhler (blueyed) Status: New => In Progress -- Cannot change owner vboxusers for device /dev/vboxdrv https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153819 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
