[ubuntu] Error when trying to start VM in Virtualbox...

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu 21.04 with the default Virtualbox that comes with Ubuntu. (Virtua)lBox Graphical User Interface Version 6.1.22_Ubuntu r144080)

It starts up fine, but when I try to start a VM, I get:
Code:


Code:

Effective UID is not root (euid=1000 egid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000) (rc=-10)

Please try reinstalling VirtualBox.

where: SUPR3HardenedMain what: 2 VERR_PERMISSION_DENIED (-10) - Permission denied.



So, I tried reinstalling Virtualbox. No dice, I get the same error. So, I tried
Code:

sudo chown 4755 /usr/lib/virtualbox/Virtualbox
but then I got the error saying that runnig as root was a no-no, due to security, which makes sense.

So, help? Any ideas?

AdvThanksance,

-Mark
