Bug 163952 – app-emulation/virtualbox ebuild does not create the vboxusers group needed to run the program

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ben Kuhn 2007-01-26 18:34:11 UTC]

Virtualbox relies on the vboxusers group to specify users that have permissions to run virtualbox.  The vboxusers group is not created in the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.unmask app-emulation/virtualbox
2.emerge virtualbox


Actual Results:  
There is no vboxusers group.

Expected Results:  
There should be a vboxusers group.

The /etc/init.d/vboxdrv and /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules aren't created either.

Does it matter if I named the file 48 instead of 60 ;-)

ah... don't forget to create a new group vboxusers and to ad your user to it ;-)
