Did you start the server?

Code:
sudo modprobe vboxdrv
vboxsvc --daemonize && virtualbox

Niiiice! It worked, thanks! I searched for a server related to virtualbox on /etc/init.d/ but found nothing. Is there any way of making this automatic at boot time wihout a shell script?

I got an idea to make it load at boot time. I can add vboxdrv to /etc/modules.autoload.d/2.6 and then just make a little script to load the virtualbox GUI.

If you got a better idea, I'm all ears! :D

Another error... A VM I had created was initializing and this error came up:

I know it's about permission, but I don't know how to give VirtualBox permission to access what it needs

Add your user to vboxusers group. (Reading the manual will give you faster answers, available in pdf from virtualbox.org.)

Thanks again! I really appreciate your help! It worked!

I've got another error about sound, but I'll investigate myself in the user's manual :D

There's another way to load virtualbox. If you set the "wrapper" use, a little script will be installed. Then you only need to type VirtualBox to run it (but you still need to load the kernel module before).

Thanks! That would be really usefull. I hate to have a console open while running something with a GUI... I'll recompile it with that flag :D
