LM 17.3 KDE updated
virtualbox-5.1_5.1.14-112924~Ubuntu~trusty_amd64.deb direct download from VB homepage

- Installed VB by double clicking the dep-file
- Got a long list of lines in the virtualbox terminal window; last 5 messages:
Unknown media type in type 'all/all'
Unknown media type in type 'all/allfiles'
Unknown media type in type 'uri/mms'
Unknown media type in type 'uri/mmst'
Done
- Closed the virtualbox terminal

Opened normal terminal to see if I am registered in the user group

Code: Select all

rost@rost-X240:~ > id
uid=1000(rost) gid=1000(rost) groups=1000(rost),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),108(lpadmin),111(sambashare)

Followed the advice in the VB manual for Version 5.1.14 and did:

Code: Select all

rost@rost-X240:~ > sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers rost
[sudo] password for rost: 
rost@rost-X240:~ > id
uid=1000(rost) gid=1000(rost) groups=1000(rost),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),108(lpadmin),111(sambashare)

Still there is no VB usergroup of which I am a member.

What did I make wrong?
How can I create a VB usergroup and make me member of it?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Changes to group membership in Linux only get active at login, so you need to logout and login again (or reboot).

Thank you very much for this information!!!

I just checked it and the vbox usergroup is there.
