VirtualBox Error -10

You mean someone compromised the system, I don’t think so. I like paranoid setup and I’ve hardened the system.

I like paranoid setup and I’ve hardened the system.

And that is the problem…

Because someone has played???

Not someone, you…

Yeah, I tinker. VMplayer works though.

With problem I mean the installing of Virtualbox, not you as problem…

So please excuse…

No worries.

Hmmm …
Whether or not a system running Virtual Machines needs to suffer a Paranoid setup and, be hardened, is a topic which needs some discussion.

IMHO, the VM implementers are usually not expecting a SELinux system – you’ll need to dig into the Oracle VirtualBox documentation for hints as to what is needed if the Linux system security has been tightened up …

Which begs the question, why?

  • AFAICS, anything running in a VM can not, usually – there’s possibly a way but, – access the Linux Kernel running the VM – a VM implementation, AFAIK, doesn’t usually have any “Back Doors” or “holes” which allow the system being hosted in the VM to access the Kernel hosting the VM …
  • And, access from the Linux Kernel to the system(s) being hosted by the VM(s) is also not, usually, possible.
  • The only exception is, the shared directories where files can be shared between the system(s) in the VM(s) and the Linux system hosting the VM(s) …
  • Plus any network connections …
