Package: virtualbox-ose-guest-utils Version: 2.2.2-dfsg-2 Tags: patch VBoxClient fails to start as non-root user, but shouldn't as it is auto-started in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient.
$ VBoxClient --clipboard -d Failed to connect to the VirtualBox kernel service When run as non-root VBoxClient uses /dev/vboxuser, but fails to do so because /dev/vboxuser isn't world read-/writable. The udev rules in virtualbox-ose-guest-utils are outdated. The upstream guest additions installer sets the following permissions: vboxadd 0660 (instead of 0666) vboxuser 0666
