Post 17: Virtual box 'Kernel Driver Not Accessible' error.

NOTE : This should ideally work.  Keep a track of the modifications you make. If it doesn't solve your problem, then revert to the state it is in now.

You are likely running as a non-root user. Find the following file :

/lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules

Open it as root and edit the OWNER field to your username.

You an verify your group name as follow:

groups <username>

Change

KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE=0660"

to

KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="<username>", GROUP="<group>", MODE=0660"
