modprobe -a vboxdrv
gpasswd -a $USER vboxusers

I am from future and you solved a problem 7 years ago that many people face today. That is "could not start virtual machine try /dbin/config as root"
The solution to it is running sudo modprobe -a vboxdrvr. Thank you from future

Shanks a lot. That's weird but all archwiki tutorials didn't work for me and you gave me a solution how to setup a VBox on Arch

[PaulIannazzo]

this helped a lot, was too lazy to read the wiki or pacman output

Mr midfingr, you are the man! This isn't the first time your videos have helped me with Arch Linux. Brief and to the point. The video helped me understand the Arch Wiki and get VirtualBox going inside my Arch machine. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Richard Sterken Hi,
Yes. It's a good idea to install the additional ISO as it will be needed for other operating systems such as Ubuntu and most notable, Windows.
