VirtualBox

You need to add yourself to the vboxusers group. Go to user and groups, manage groups and add your user to the vboxusers.

Hi,

I've tried VB for some time and in my opinion VMWare is much better... easy config (just select the files from apt-get) and register the vmware server (this is free), sorry that I can't give you support for your problem.

I thought VMWare was $$$?

Here is a visual walk through to help you add your user to the vboxusers group. Hope this helps.

Shutdown VirtualBox.

Restart VirtualBox, and you should be set.

Yes, it's a commercial product. No, it doesn't coast $$$ :)

http://vmware.com/products/server/ <-- Just fill in the registration. Didn't get any mail or spam (until now). Only mail you receive is when you order 10 licenses at once.

/edit: installed packages with synaptic on mint 4.0:

vmware-server
xserver-xorg-video-vmware
vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.22-14
vmware-server-kernel-modules

Oh cool. Thanks for the info! I always avoided it because I thought it was pricey. I've always had good experiences with Virtual Box, but i'll check it out when the next version is released.
