Trouble starting from .iso

Post by S »

I have downloaded .iso files of openSUSE and xubuntu. The md5 checksums are fine. But when I try to start a new virtual box with one of them I get the following type of error:
-----------
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine xub_Box.

Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_SUPLIB_WORLD_WRITABLE).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {db7ab4ca-2a3f-4183-9243-c1208da92392}
------------
By "start a new virtual box" I mean that I select the .iso file when the dialog box comes up after the 'hint' the first time I click 'start'. I get this error and then I get it every time I try to 'start' after that. Just as a note, the controller IDE is listed as this .iso in the settings for the virtual box.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Run the Repair Disk Permissions using DIsk Utility on your MAC host then it should work.
