Linux Mint 21, Vbox 6 and Vox 7.
I only have full functionality (on either version) if I run with sudo.
I tried sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers myname
Groups command confirms vboxusers in myname
When I run with sudo I get the error posted in subject.. however it does fully work.
When I run without sudo.. vbox 6 missing tools, vbox 7 freezes and crashes.

Sounds like a permissions problem to my non-Linux-expert mind. There's some folders that Virtualbox gets installed in that require certain permissions, though I don't know which folders they are. Look at these and see if they apply:M-b-82 wrote:I only have full functionality (on either version) if I run with sudo.
