Virtual Box Getting Blocked by Fedora SE

Post by Sasheemy »

When I try to run the my Kali virtualbox machine, it first gets an error rc=-1908, telling me to do '/sbin/vboxconfig' to configure the vbox files. I go into terminal and enter in the command, but Fedora's Security is blocking it from writing to the hard drive. So the question is, how do I allow vbox to write to my hard drive? (Log from Fedora "SELinux is preventing vboxdrv.sh from write access on the file 60-vboxdrv.rules. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l b4734165-7d6b-4b56-8376-17dd37651fbf") [Sorry if I don't respond quickly, I'm going to bed for the night, definitely will check tomorrow morning]

edit /ets/selinux/config and set it to disabled, reboot, install, set it back to what it was, reboot and use.

Do you use a particular file system or partition?
