virtualbox.org

Hi all,

in the last week i was not able to resolve this problem:

on my ubuntu hardy i worked for about one year with
virtualbox 2.0.x with various guests and host networking
script to setup the tap interfaces at guest os startup...

recently i updated virtualbox to version 2.1 to enjoy
easier network configuration provided, and my shared
folders between host and guest have stopped working...

Well, i thought, let's revert back to version 2.0... but...
right after removing 2.1 and reinstalling 2.0.x this message
appeared at boot time:
this is my config:

the output of my uname -a is: the results for the command grep -ln vbox /etc/udev/rules.d/* are: the output of my sudo groups username is: (the vboxusers group exists and my user is in the group)

some ideas on how to solve the problem?

thanks,
Armando.

I too have the same error and I can not seem to find the source. The problem started when I upgraded to 1.6.2. I have since upgraded to 2.1 and then tried removing it completely. None of these steps resolved the problem. I have the following details regarding my configuration;
uname -a output
Linux siracusa 2.6.24-23-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 27 18:44:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664", GROUP="vboxusers"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664", GROUP="vboxusers"

Any suggestions?

I tried to find among the configuration files of udev but I found nothing.
