vboxautostart-service fails

Post by omeks »

Hi all

I have a VirtualBox install on a Linux host. When I try to run the vboxautostart-service with a VM enabled to autostart, it fails throwing the following error

O/S: opensuse 15.2
VirtualBox: 6.1.28


pam_unix(su-l:session): session opened for user tech by (uid=0)
su[2589]: pam_unix(su-l:session): session closed for user tech
systemd[1]: vboxautostart-service.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1
systemd[1]: Failed to start vboxautostart-service.service.
-- Subject: Unit vboxautostart-service.service has failed


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

# By default, vboxdrv creates a file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules every time, it is started,
# that allows full control of this hosts usb devices in virtual machines (given, you allow accessing
# them with the GUI).
# In order to control this ability yourself, copy the generated /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules
# file to another name and modify to your needs, e.g. comment out all lines beginning with SUBSYSTEM,
# which will make this hosts usb devices inaccessible AND enable the next line.
