Installed VirtualBox from Commandline but Won't Run GUI from Desktop
Hello,
I'm rather new to Linux and I need a little help. I'm running Fedora 14.
I installed VirtualBox from the Terminal Command Line. It seems to work fine from there. For instance, the following commands work great (so I think it's installed):
[root@localhost VirtualBox]# sh VBoxSysInfo.shDistribution: Fedora | Version: 14 | Kernel: Linux version 2.6.35.14-106.fc14.i686 (gcc version 4.5.1 20100924 (Red Hat 4.5.1-4) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Nov 23 13:57:33 UTC 2011
Problem is that I'd like to use the standard desktop GUI but it doesn't do anything. So, when I go to Applications --> System Tools --> Oracle VM Virtualbox nothing happens! No error, no program, no nothing.
I'm assuming some files permissions are wrong, but I'm not sure where to start. Could you help me solve this problem and get the VirtualBox GUI running from my desktop?
Here's what I got:
Open in new window
Permissions on the directories that seem to matter are:For opt: drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 4096 Dec 24 14:35 opt
For virtualbox: drwxrwxrwx 12 root root 4096 Dec 24 14:35 VirtualBox
I should note that the user name with which I generally log in is "user".
What do you think I should do next?
