[Gambas-user] run as root ?

[wally]

Good morning Jussi,

thanks for reply.
> Why you need to run it as root?
i need access to gpib-board (kernel drivers 'linux-gpib')
I provided a new group 'gpib' and checked memberships 
but so far i can access the board only as root. 
This would be the most smart solution i think and i'll try 
to fix this problem when i'm sure GB works with gpib 
as expected.

I'll try your suggestions too.

Yes, would prefer this, but unfortunately VBox does not support 
access to pci-bus yet (VBox version 4.2.16). Correct ?  

cheers wally
