Not really related to KDE, I would ask in the openSuse forum if you don't get any answers here.

Have you tried to reinstall VirtualBox? Is your user in the vboxusers group?

you are sure about that. I'll post on a suse's forum.
After update kernel version, I'm now reinstalling the virtualbox
using the file downloaded from oracle's site; and not
from software management.
