'sudo VBoxManage startvm "myWinVM"' returns errors `[myuser@localhost ~]$ VBoxManage startvm "myWinVM"` launches fine the VM. `[myuser@localhost ~]$ sudo VBoxManage startvm "myWinVM"` returns a number of errors: VBoxManage: error: Could not find a registered machine named 'myWinVM' VBoxManage: error: Details: code VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb0001), component VirtualBoxWrap, interface IVirtualBox, callee nsISupports VBoxManage: error: Context: "FindMachine(Bstr(pszVM).raw(), machine.asOutParam())" at line 721 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp why so? I am on a Fedora 35 machine; VirtualBox 6.1.32 (rpmfusion r149290); Guest OS, Win 7 (64-bit).

`sudo` runs things as root. "myuser" has a vbox VM called "myWinVM", but root does not.

Why would you even want to run it as root, anyway? The only good reason to use virtualbox over Linux's own KVM is that it makes it easy to run VMs as a normal user without any special privileges.
