VirtualBox not starting (OpenSuse 11.1) [Solved]

I'm trying to get VB to work on my computer but am having an issue.

I installed Virtualbox 2.1.2 earlier today and nothing happens when i try to run it from the application browser and when i run it from the terminal i get

Code: Select all

ryan@linux-rh1m:~> VirtualBox
/usr/bin/VirtualBox: line 72: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox: Permission denied
/usr/bin/VirtualBox: line 72: exec: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox: cannot execute: Success

however if i run it under super user from the terminal it starts up fine.

I am in the vboxusers group and that didn't change anything.

While running this as super user is no problem for me i have other people that will be using this when i am not around.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!


UPDATE: I uninstalled VB 2.1.2 and installed 2.1.1 and it works fine.[/b]

I have the exact same issue with 3.0.2 on OpenSUSE 11.1,

I guess it's a bug.
