Do you have the file /etc/udev/60-vboxdrv.rules ?

Post by Paula »

Hello.

My O.S. is CentOS-4.7-x86_64 and my hardware is Sun Ultra 40 M2 - AMD Opteron 64bits.

I installed the VirtualBox-2.2.0-45846-Linux_amd64.run (All distributions).

When I was reading the User_Guide Manual, on page-23, there is the following information:
... It creates /etc/udev/60-vboxdrv.rules, a description file for udev, if that is present, which makes the module accessible to anyone in the group vboxusers.

The problem is that I could not find out this files on my machine.

For the other distributions, Is it exist ?

If somebody will have this file, can you send it to me ?

Thank you so much.

You probably have the file /etc/udev/10-vboxdrv.rules, content is same so just copy that to /etc/udev/60-vboxdrv.rules.

Hello Hank_se.

Unfortunately, I don't have any file called "xx-vboxdrv.rules" on /etc/udev.
This is the problem.
Could you send it to me ?
Thank you so much.

Btw shouldn't it be /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules, that's the location for OpenSUSE?

I don't know.
My O.S. is CentOS-4.7-x86-64 and on the User_Guide Manual the topic is "Installing on Linux hosts"
Nothing about linux distribution.
Anyway, thank you.

Well can't you check that location /etc/udev/rules.d/?
Content of my file is this(plain text file):

KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0600"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0664"

But that's for openSUSE 11.1, I'm not sure if it works for your system, but probably it does.

You are correct.
The file 10-vboxdrv.rules is there /etc/udev/rules.d
The content is the same that you send to me.
Thank you so much for your help and attention.
