[Bug 449864] [NEW] After an error message on trying to install VirtualBox Guestadditions in a W2k VM, because I did not have admin rights, now the Virtual Box does not install them anymore, even if I click on "Devices" and "Install guest additions"

[mardop]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

1)
Description:	Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release:	9.10

2)
virtualbox-ose:
  Installed: 3.0.6-dfsg-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.0.6-dfsg-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.0.6-dfsg-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) Install guest additions

4) nothing happened the second time I tried...
On Ubuntu 9.10 I installed a Win 2000 Session in Virtual Box. After the session was installed I logged in with a account that did not have admin rights and I wanted to install the guest additions. Something happened - a gray window opened and started some kind of counter or so.,.. then the message popped up, that I need admin rights and that the installation was going to end now. So I gave that user Admin rights then I logged in again and tried to install the guest additions. But nothing happens, when I click on Device and Install guest additions... it does not seem to work anymore..
Thanx
