I goggled and found this in a Italian (which I do not understand) website: http://www.crismonblog.org/opensuse-11.1/virtualbox-2.06-usr-bin-virtualbox-line-1-usr-lib-virtualbox-virtualbox-permission-denied.html sudo chmod 4711 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox I saw the same error and tried the solution. It is similar to yours. This works as well. Just wondering why the rights were wrong.
