[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#821922: virtualbox: Cannot boot any VM

Wed Apr 27 14:27:29 UTC 2016

Hi, indeed your file is not accessible

"crw------- 1 root root      10, 56 avril 27 13:44 /dev/vboxdrvu"

should really be
"crw-rw-rw- 1 root root      10, 55 apr 19 16:08 /dev/vboxdrvu"

so, a chmod 666 /dev/vboxdrvu
might fix the issue (until reboot?)

you might consider adding your user to vboxusers group.

cheers,

G.
