Hello list,
Since VirtualBox was upgraded from 4.3.32 to 5.0.14 recently, I've been
getting a little transient notice panel on my KDE4 screen saying something
like "the virtualbox kernel service is... [not running]".
I found this article [1] with a suggested fix, but it didn't. The /dev/vbox*
permissions changed as shown in the article when I created the udev/rules.d
file suggested, but that didn't change any behaviour.
My WinXP guest runs happily in its virtual box, but the Atlas BOINC client,
which downloads a VirtualBox client to operate in, reports communication
failure.
The vbox log is attached.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
