after emerging app-virtualbox-ose-2.1.4-r2 and adding user to the vboxusers group, there is no VirtualBox command or menu entry to start virtualbox. VBoxHeadless VBoxManage VBoxSDL VBoxTunctl VBoxVRDP The above exist but 'VirtualBox' doesn't. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge app-virtualbox-ose-2.1.4-r2 2.add user to group vboxusers 3.try to find/execute VirtualBox Actual Results: -bash: VirtualBox: command not found Expected Results: The virtualbox application should start an interface. $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.10 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.3, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.29-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.29-gentoo-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_E8200_@_2.66GHz-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 22:00:17 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.7 dev-lang/python: 2.5.4-r2 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r8 dev-util/cmake: 2.4.8 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.4.3-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.19.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/ http://ftp.uoi.gr/mirror/OS/gentoo/ http://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/ http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/" LANG="el_GR.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu" LINGUAS="en el" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/layman/desktop-effects /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X aac acl acpi additions aiglx alsa amd64 aoss apache2 archive asf automount bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo caps cdda cdr cgi chm cli consolekit corefonts cracklib crypt cups curl custom-optimization cvs dbus device-mapper dmx dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss emerald encode esd evo ext2 ext3 ext4 fam fat ffmpeg firefox fortran fuse gdbm gedit gif git glitz gnome gnome-keyring gpm gstreamer gtk gtkhotkey hal hfs iconv isdnlog java jfs jpeg ldap libnotify mad midi mikmod mmx mozilla mozsha1 mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap multilib nano-syntax nautilus ncurses new-login nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ntfs nvidia offensive ogg opengl openmp pam passwdqc pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3support quicktime rar readline reflection reiser4 reiserfs samba sasl sdk sdl session smp sound spell spl sqlite sse sse2 ssl startup-notification subversion svg symlink sysfs tcl tcpd threads tiff timezone tk truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode unsupported usb vboxwebsrv vorbis x264 xcb xcomposite xfs xft xinerama xml xorg xprint xscreensaver xulrunner xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en el" NETBEANS_MODULES="apisupport harness ide java nb cnd j2ee groovy gsf php xml websvccommon" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Created attachment 186276 [details] qlist virtualbox-ose
Please, please check that: - the current user (the user that should start virtualbox) is in the vboxusers group: id your_username - check if currently all the needed binaries are installed on your system, please provide the output of the following command: qlist virtualbox-ose | grep bin i'm using the same version here and i have no issue with it
(In reply to comment #2) [..] sorry, just noted the qlist attached to this bug, so ignore my previous comment, can you please provide the USE flags used to emerge app-emulation/virtualbox-ose? thanks
$ groups <my_user> adm wheel floppy audio cdrom video usb portage plugdev games dropbox vboxusers koukos $ emerge -pv app-emulation/virtualbox-ose These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

(In reply to comment #4) [..] > $ emerge -pv app-emulation/virtualbox-ose > These are the packages that would be merged, in order: > Calculating dependencies... done! > [ebuild R ] app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-2.1.4-r2 USE="additions alsa hal > python sdk vboxwebsrv -headless -pulseaudio -qt4" 0 kB You should turn on the qt4 USE flag to use the "VirtualBox" frontend, as the elog message says after/during the emerge process: "No USE="qt4" selected, this build will not include any Qt frontend."
Noted in the ebuild already, so closing for now
