(don't know what's the right component for virtualbox :/)

Each time I start vbox, I get a window saying this:

====
Effective UID is not root (euid=1000 egid=100 uid=1000 gid=100) (rc=-10)

It may help to reinstall VirtualBox.
====

I tried to remove and reinstall the virtualbox package, but it doesn't help.
