After the install, did you check if the vboxdrv device is created properly and that you are a member of the VBoxUsers group?

I'm having the same problem, only on OpenSUSE. Would appreciate help as well. (the vboxusers group is checked, but when i checked the vboxdrv it said it failed and to look in a log, which was empty)

I dont know about membership. I will check it. I checked the driver and I think it is not created in '/etc/init.d/

Type the following in the terminal (Applications » Utilities » Terminal or K » System » Konsole):
sudo adduser yourusername vboxusers
(I googled it)

What's the code if I'm using SUSE? the first one works, the second linux-header gives me an error.

For SuSE, it should be kernel-devel that is needed. Linux-headers is a debian thing.
If you don't have /etc/init.d/vboxdrv, please reinstall VB.
