natty is the host w7 is the guest. Also the other odd thing was during the install of the deb package natty gave an error about it being a poorly prepared package. The deb package i downloaded from virtualbox.org

Did you install the needed packages to build external modules first? Keep in mind, while I am able to install VirtualBox in natty it may not be so for everyone. Support was just added a few days ago and there may be issues. Try installing the packages below and then run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup or install VirtualBox again.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-generic

User name in the vboxusers group on the host?
type id in a terminal and see if you are in the group.

Yes, it is:

Code: Select all

$ id
uid=1000(kahun) gid=1000(kahun) grupos=1000(kahun),7(lp),10(wheel),90(network),91(video),92(audio),93(optical),95(storage),96(scanner),98(power),100(users),108(vboxusers),120(gdm),140(usbmux)
Maybe is related to this bug: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6986

I doubt it is related to that ticket. They are using Windows as host and that is a different issue.
It may be an issue with natty as I said support is enabled but there may be issues. You can post a ticket in bugtracker (you need to create an account there). I don't see this issue and can not reproduce it but I am working on a different level of VirtualBox. I don't have a natty (dedicated box) available to me at the moment with the release version of VirtualBox on it.
