Hi !

I wrote an article on my website (in french of course) : https://www.linuxtricks.fr/wiki/installer-virtualbox-sous-gentoo-calculate-linux

You can install the virtualbox package and virtualbox-modules and virtualbox-additions and the virtualbox-extpack-oracle.

So

emerge -avq app-emulation/virtualbox app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle app-emulation/virtualbox-modules app-emulation/virtualbox-additions

You need to add your current user to virtualbox group :

usermod -G vboxusers -a dirk

You must reboot (to load virtualbox-modules and get new rights)

Tried it, made a youtube video about it and it works like a charm :wink: thank you so much.

usermod: Gruppe »vboxusers« existiert nicht.

Mhhh,…?

Edit: Sorry. First emerge, than add user. Fixed

I think that you have to just logout.

Don’t forget to add modules
