(Solved) vboxusers group unknown in bootup sequence

[athouston]

I have downloaded onboot virtualbox-ose.tcz and rebooted. In the boot sequence I see an error that the group vboxusers is not known.

I ran the addgroup -S command as for the ondemand option and rebooted but no change.

I ran a dependency and orphan check in the appsbrowser and they came up clean.

Can someone please tell me the command to check the existence of groups and their memberships so I can hunt this down.

Thanks.

When I try to re-add the group or the user I get a response that they already exist, so my previous question is redundant to some extent.

Can anyone please suggest where to look for the source of the problem.

I got around the problem by making it ondemand rather than onboot. If anyone has other thoughts let me know or I will mark it off (solved).

Delete all reference. My CPU does not support the VTx processor extensions so there's probably very little chance it will ever work.

Sorry to bother.

The info file assumes you have a low spec machine, and I do not doubt your assessment of your CPU specs.

If have the time to give it another go, with persistence here is my suggestion

manually load the extension with ----tce-load -i virtualbox-ose
ensure you see OK against all dependencies loading

If you have a low spec machine then use bootlocal as per info file like this

addgroup -S vboxusers
addgroup tc vboxusers

if you have a decent spec machine then step A

Code: [Select]

addgroup -S vboxusers
addgroup tc vboxusers
step B....peek inside /etc/group and check you have an entry that starts with  vboxusers and ends with tc

step C you have a good file so add to your .filetool.lst for backup

etc/group

step D choose onboot or ondemand as you see fit

reboot and check the group entry is there before running the executable

first time ....don't use the desktop....pls...use a terminal so you can see any error messages

good luck and no need to reply as I know you have already said you can't do it
