Well, /proc/self always links to the current process's /proc entry. It is just a short hand for /proc/PID, where PID is the return from getpid(), or in most shells, the value of $$. So I would have expected any virtualbox process to be able to read its own /proc/self/auxv, as that special file would be owned by itself (and as you noticed, has permissions set to allow the file owner to read it.) It remains a mystery to me that a virtualbox process often can't read this auxv file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014487 Title: virtualbox: Error opening file for reading To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1014487/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
