Problem W/ User.... HELP PLEASE!!!!

Post by amrcidiot »

When I go to start VB it says:

"The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current use. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect..

VBox status code: -1909 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE)."

So how do I add my user to access this?

I'm on Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn

Thanks
