I can't run VirtualBox on Ubuntu Linux 11.04. I've installed the following packages:
ii virtualbox-guest-additions 4.0.4-1 guest additions iso image for VirtualBox
ii virtualbox-ose 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu4.1 x86 virtualization solution - base binaries
ii virtualbox-ose-dkms 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu4.1 x86 virtualization solution - kernel module sources for dkms
ii virtualbox-ose-fuse 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu4.1 x86 virtualization solution - virtual filesystem
ii virtualbox-ose-guest-utils 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu4.1 x86 virtualization solution - non-X11 guest utilities
ii virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu4.1 x86 virtualization solution - X11 guest utilities
ii virtualbox-ose-qt 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu4.1 x86 virtualization solution - Qt based user interface
When I run VirtualBox as my user stivlo the QT interface starts, I press New, then Next, I write "test" in the Name field, "Linux" in the Operative System field and select "Linux 2.6" for the version and press Next.
In memory I leave the default 256Mb and press Next. In Virtual Hard Disk, I leave "Boot Hard Disk" checked and also "Create a new Hard Disk" selected and hit Next.
Then Next again in the splash screen for the Create new Hard Disk wizard. As Hard Disk Storage I leave "Dynamically expanding storage" selected and hit next.
In location I write test-hd and leave the size as 8GB and hit Next and press Finish and Finish again.
I get the following message:
Failed to create a new virtual machine test. Runtime error opening '/home/stivlo/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml-tmp' for reading: -38 (Access denied.). /build/buildd/virtualbox-ose-4.0.4-dfsg/src/VBox/Main/src-server/VirtualBoxImpl.cpp[3302] (nsresult VirtualBox::saveSettings()).
