General

First of all hello and a good new year to all!

I’m installed CachyOS with the lastest ISO and installed Virtualbox. So i want to add the user to the vboxusers group but i get following error.

sudo gpasswd -a user vboxusers
Adding user user to group vboxusers
[sss_cache] [sss_tool_confdb_init] (0x0010): Can't access '/var/lib/sss/db/config.ldb', probably SSSD isn't configured
Can't find configuration db, was SSSD configured and run?
[sss_cache] [sss_tool_confdb_init] (0x0010): Can't access '/var/lib/sss/db/config.ldb', probably SSSD isn't configured
Can't find configuration db, was SSSD configured and run?

I checked the /var/lib/sss/db/config.ldb file, but this file doesn’t exists. Also if i want to start the service i get follwoing “error”.

[root@computer user]# sudo systemctl start sssd
[root@computer user]# sudo systemctl status sssd

I’ve search google but can’t find some useful info. Maybe someone has an an idea?

Thank you very much! Best regards!

Virtualbox is good but virt-manager is little better for you system i need not sssd
after you install virt-manager you need to use sudo gpasswd -a yournick libvir-qemu kvm kmem and you are ready for play with your vms

with sudo virsh net-start default you start the nat network br0 for the vm with sudo virsh net-destroy default you kill the br0 interface

is the group vboxusers existing?

Thanks for the answears.

Yes the group exists.

6

another cmd: usermod -aG vboxusers username

7

Or yet another, vi /etc/group.

8

just installed vbox as a trial - no probs with useradd

Thanks for the comments. I always get the same error, but it looks as the user will be added despite it. So it works for now. Thanks a lot for the answears.
