If I start VirtualBox (ose) as a ordinary user rose, which belongs to group vboxusers and who used virtualbox several times, I get only an empty grey window, which I only can kill. If I start VirtualBox as a ordinary user rosetest, which belongs to group vboxusers but never used virtualbox before, I get two empty grey windows ("VirtualBox Registration Dialog" and "VirtualBox OSE"), which I only can kill, where I get "VirtualBox Registration Dialog" does not answer. If I start VirtualBox as root, who never used virtualbox before, I get a working "VirtualBox OSE" window, where I could add new virtual machines. But I would like to use my old virtual machines as user rose. If I try to find out as user rose, where VirtualBox is hanging with 'strace -f -o VirtualBox_strace.log VirtualBox' I get: rose@lynx:/home/rose(19)$ strace -f -o VirtualBox_strace.log VirtualBox VirtualBox: Error -10 in SUPR3HardenedMain! VirtualBox: Effective UID is not root (euid=1203 egid=1000 uid=1203 gid=1000) VirtualBox: Tip! It may help to reinstall VirtualBox. I reinstalled VirtualBox, but it did not help. Any Hints?
