Android Tutorial B4A-Bridge and VirtualBox (Linux-host)

My OS of choice is Linux (Mint-11) so having to dual-boot out to Windows any time I wanted to run B4A was a pain. I tried running B4A via VBox, but when bridging to my android device I got a list of errors at the last part of compile/run when connecting. Turns out my VBox was not configured correctly and fixed it this way.
In Linux select:
Menu/Control Center/Users and Groups/Manage Groups/scroll down to "vboxusers"/select Properties and check the box alongside your Group Member name/select OK.
Once you reboot or logoff/logon the compile problem will be gone.
