As virtualbox-bin-1.6.6 has been broken for months now (why is it still marked stable, btw?), I tried to switch to current 3.0.4, but it won't start. I get the following error: "VirtualBox: Error -10 in SUPR3HardenedMain! VirtualBox: Effective UID is not root (euid=1000 egid=100 uid=1000 gid=100) VirtualBox: Tip!

any solutions? I have the same prob after update from virtualbox-bin-3.0.4 to 3.0.6
I am found some help in this tread http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=11154 A simple chmod 4711 /opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox fixed the probs on my VirtualBox install.
Problem persists with 3.0.6. The ebuild fails to suid root the VirtualBox binaries in some cases: for each in VBox{SDL,Headless} VirtualBox; do fowners root:vboxusers /opt/VirtualBox/${each} fperms 4510 /opt/VirtualBox/${each} pax-mark -m "${D}"/opt/VirtualBox/${each} done However, my permissions looked like this on 3.0.4 (and 3.0.6): drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 3.

Sep 21:51 VRDPAuth.so The ebuild should set access rights for VBoxNetAdpCtl to 4750, but my file is 4710. VBoxSDL, VBoxHeadless and VirtualBox are set to 510 instead of 4510. After chmodding these files manually, VirtualBox 3.0.6 is running fine. But why does the ebuild fail to set the correct permissions on some setups?
>After chmodding these files manually, VirtualBox 3.0.6 is running fine. But >why does the ebuild fail to set the correct permissions on some setups? I am unsure how that happens. I had suspected FEATURES="userpriv" or some other restrictive setting, but the emerge --info posted does not show that enabled, and even if enabled it shouldn't affect it. So I have no idea. Yet :)

Hi All out there, > anything going on with this lately? I am using 3.2 and still cannot use > VirtualBox as non-root. After half a year and several different tried versions i lastly found the way out. Easy and a bit stupid i forgotten that i have restricted the mount-options in fstab for /opt with "nosuid". So even if you change the permissions and this one is active it wont run. noexec should produce similar restrictions. So just proof if /opt is mounted i a right manner. cheers Karl
What about the other people who reported the same problem here? Do you guys all mount /opt with nosuid/noexec?
Okay, no response for over a month so I consider this bug being resolved. The nosuid mount appears reasonable as source of the problem and as this is a configuration done by the user it's nothing we can fix. So resolution for now is, don't mount /opt with nosuid!
(In reply to comment #8) > Okay, no response for over a month so I consider this bug being resolved. > What about the other people who reported the same problem here? Just to confirm the observations: with these mount options of the disk where /opt is linked to /dev/hda6 /sources reiserfs auto,users,exec,rw,noatime 0 1 I get VirtualBox: Error -10 in SUPR3HardenedMain! VirtualBox: Effective UID is not root (euid=1000 egid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000) Adding suid to the mount options: #/dev/hda6 /sources reiserfs auto,users,suid,exec,rw,noatime 0 1 VirtualBox stars as normal user.
