I have installed VirtualBox 6.0.0 onto a Fedora 27 system. The permissions on VirtualBoxVM are OK, they are the same as the 5.x.x versions set on the VirtualBox application from where the functionality has been split.

I think the issue is that most users won't have /usr/lib/virtualbox in their path and so the VirtualBoxVM executable won't be picked up. I have managed to work around this as follows (as root):
cd /usr/bin
ln -s VBox VirtualBoxVM
Then using your favourite text editor add the following two lines into the case "$APP" in statement that starts on line 109:
VirtualBox|virtualbox)
exec "$INSTALL_DIR/VirtualBox" "$@"
;;
VirtualBoxVM|virtualboxvm)
exec "$INSTALL_DIR/VirtualBoxVM" "$@"
;;
VBoxManage|vboxmanage)
exec "$INSTALL_DIR/VBoxManage" "$@"
;;

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.
