Do you actually run as a complete root session, or with sudo?<br>

<div dir="ltr">I removed the virtual machines to exclude that as a
source of error. Now running my program that tries to launch a
VM called Xubuntu fails as expected when non-root (the API tells
there is no such machine and that shows up in the VBoxSVC.log),
while root fails and VBoxSVC.log does not contain anything
special. I can continue on for now working as non root, but
eventually I need to launch my binary from a nodejs process
which needs to be root to bind to the TCP port (I could however
launch the slaves under other users but I'd like to sort out why
this happens). Is there any way to enable extended logging in
the VBoxSVC.log?
Exporting BOXSVC_RELEASE_LOG=main.e.l.f+gui.e.l.f did not change
anything.
