Bug Description

Ubuntu Impish 20.10 development version, virtualbox 6.1.22-dfsg-2, I am seeing:

Effective UID is not root (euid=1000 egid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000) (rc=-10)

Please try reinstalling VirtualBox.

where: SUPR3HardenedMain what: 2 VERR_PERMISSION_DENIED (-10) - Permission denied.

My username is in the vboxusers group:

vboxusers:x:141:cking

Can only start virtualbox when running as root, which is far from ideal.

The fix was in 6.1.22-dfsg-4 I guess.
