Warning NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x00004005) when

[harsto]

Hi@
it seems that my Virtualbox 3.0.2 Guest system (Windows XP) is unable to use in Opensolaris connected usb devices!
Maybe there is a correlation with an error-mesage which I every time receive, when I hit the Change Button, at the VirtualBox GUI.
The Message is:

Kein Zugriff auf das USB-Subsystem.
Could not load the Host USB Proxy service (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).
Detail::
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x00004005)
Komponente:
Host
Interface:
IHost {a13b5556-5c0b-4f80-9df6-6f804f3336a1}
Callee:
IMachine {540dcfda-3df2-49c6-88fa-033a28c2ff85}

I am using Opensolaris 2009.6 and installed Virtualbox 3.0.2 from the extra repository at opensolaris.org with IPS-GUI.
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards

Hmm this is not supposed to happen unless something didn't get installed fine.

If you install via IPS pkg(5) run pfexec /opt/VirtualBox/ipsinstall.sh after installation. This will load the required drivers.

For now try the following:

Code: Select all

pfexec chown root /opt/VirtualBox/i386/VBoxUSBHelper
pfexec chown root /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/VBoxUSBHelper
pfexec chmod 04755 /opt/VirtualBox/i386/VBoxUSBHelper
pfexec chmod 04755 /opt/VirtualBox/amd64/VBoxUSBHelper

And check if the error goes away. Also make sure "/dev/vboxusbmon" exists. If it doesn't it means the drivers are not loaded, run ipsinstall.sh as root (make sure all VirtualBox VMs, GUI etc. are closed before doing this).

Dear Ramshankar,
many thanks for your post. After running ipsinstall.sh the error was gone. I try to use my usb stick as soon as possible now.

Best regards
