VBox 6.1 cannot start any VM

[Totalvirtual]

Hi,

I just installed 6.1.0_135406_openSUSE150-1 from the Oracle repo.
Before I had the openSUSE version installed which I wiped from the system, also wiped the old kernel modules.

Now installed VBox 6.1 and the corresponding kernel modules vboxdrv,vboxnetflt,vboxnetadp. By the way, is vboxpci.ko obsolete? It does not exit in 6.1.

Okay, when now trying to start any VM I get this error:

Code: Select all

NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
MachineWrap
Interface: 
IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}

The only thing I find strange is, there seem to be no vboxpci module and no source code for vboxpci. Is this module obsolete with VB 6.1?

Below I can give you the content of VBoxSVC.log.

Thanks for any hints!

I have now found a workaround

Root of the problem is, VirtualBox from Oracle is being installed suidroot.
The following commands set the permissions in a way, VBox can start and run.
These commands may have to be executed every time the computer starts and VBox is being updated. Best create a script for it.

Code: Select all

Do it as root

cd /usr/lib/virtualbox/
chmod 0755 {VBox{Headless,Net{AdpCtl,DHCP,NAT},SDL,VolInfo},VirtualBox}
chmod 4755 {VBox{Headless,Net{AdpCtl,DHCP,NAT},SDL,VolInfo},VirtualBoxVM}

This way VBox can now run my VMs again.
