I installed VirtualBox on Ubuntu. When trying to open a session, I get the message below:

The VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect.. VBox status code: -1909 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE).

When I check the user id, it is a member of vboxusers.

I am a nubie so this is foreign to me.
