[vbox-dev] Problems with porting a VritualBox frontend from Windows to Linux

Hi Michal,

run and debug anything you want.

Thanks for the clarification, I thought it worked the same on Linux and
Windows. Ok then I'll try 4.3.26 as well to see if that fixes the issue,
still I think I have something wrong at my end since VBoxManage does the
same stuff fine. But thanks for the tip, one more reason for me to prefer
Linux. Just for clarification - is there anything special in terms of
groups or users I need to do or if I run as root I should be fine?

Best Regards,
Rudolfs Bundulis
