Hi Frank,
I should have mentioned in my original post, I did try running `setup'
however the didn't resolve the issue, when I try to run `VirtualBox',
I get the following error:
pa...@zoom-1004-[pablo]: VirtualBox
/usr/bin/VirtualBox: line 72: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox: Permission
denied
/usr/bin/VirtualBox: line 72: exec: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox: cannot
execute: Success
Below is the transcript of my install. Notice how there's an error on
the RPM database. I checked and zypper was not running.
I ran it again and you can see the second `failed' message.
Let me know what forensics you may need.
Thank you.
Cheers,
pablo
