Dear all,

thanks for ideas, but you probably have missed that VBox is working with 
some older bits (BE) already, ONLY when I upgrade BE it stops (actually 
crashes box). My user account is member of that group already (in this 
working BE, which is then updated):

$ grep predrag /etc/group
vboxuser::1962:predrag_zecevic

Is it "vboxuser" or "vboxusers"?

Anyway, tried everything I could think of, and nothing works...

To me, it looks like some driver was changed/upgraded and that causes 
problem. And I am not sure how to trace that down...

Regards.
