[Rodrigo Ramírez Norambuena]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 5.1.4-dfsg-1+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

        After an upgrade into branch stretch/sid to 5.1.4-dfsg-1+b1 when I try
run a VirtualMachine the window still with message "Starting virtual machine
..."


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

    I some search, the file ~/.VirtualBox/VBoxSVC.log output

"
 00:08:32.932717 nspr-7 Failed to open "/dev/vboxdrvu", errno=13,
rc=VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE
 00:08:33.555836 nspr-6 Failed to open "/dev/vboxdrvu", errno=13,
rc=VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE
"


The permision of file driver has 0600
 $ ls -lh /dev/vboxdrvu
 crw------- 1 root root 10, 56 Sep 10 12:47 /dev/vboxdrvu


If is changed the permission to 0666 is possible run a VMs normally
