Group vboxusers missing

Asked by vlc

Hi *,

I installed virtualbox-ose 3.2.8 for lucid from the backport repository. One thing that surprises me is that there is no vboxusers group. Is this intended behavior?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Log a bug, it should make the group and add you. You can run:

sudo groupadd vboxusers; sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a $USER

Will do the group stuff for you

I tried again with a fresh install, but the problem remains, no matter is using 3.1.6 from release or 3.2.8 from backports.

Can you help with this problem?
