If you've just installed Virtualbox in Ubuntu, and it pops up a message that you need to be part of the Vbox or Virtualbox users group to use the program, here is a quick way to do it.

Open a terminal (Pressing Control + Alt + t on your keyboard will do it) and enter this command:

sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers username

Of course, replace username in the command with your own actual username, that you login to Ubuntu with.
