[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#440552: Found this bug in more or less fresh lenny installation

[Michael Hanke]

Hi,

I just stumbled about this bug in a recently installed lenny. I
installed virtualbox-ose and compiled the module with module-assistant.
I added myself to the vboxusers group and did a fresh login. Now I have
this:

michael at gandalf:~$ ll /dev/vboxdrv
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 62 2007-09-22 10:03 /dev/vboxdrv

michael at gandalf:~$ dpkg -L virtualbox-ose | grep udev
/etc/udev
/etc/udev/rules.d
/etc/udev/rules.d/z60_virtualbox-ose.rules

michael at gandalf:~$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_virtualbox-ose.rules
KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0660"

michael at gandalf:~$ groups
users disk cdrom audio video plugdev vboxusers

michael at gandalf:~$ apt-show-versions |grep virtualbox
virtualbox-ose/unknown uptodate 1.5.0-dfsg2-1
virtualbox-ose-source/unknown uptodate 1.5.0-dfsg2-1
virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.21-2-686 1.5.0-dfsg2-1+2.6.21-6 installed: No available version in archive


and of course virtualbox tells me:


michael at gandalf:~$ virtualbox
WARNING: /dev/vboxdrv not writable for some reason. If you recently added the
         current user to the vboxusers group then you have to logout and
         re-login to take the change effect.

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.


So at least I can reproduce this bug. :(



Cheers,

Michael
