Using virtualbox on Kubuntu 7.04

[version]

Hey guys. Thanks for providing such a sleek program. So far i've tried it in Kubuntu and Windows Xp and love the interface and ease of use yet powerful controls.

I'm having issues mounting my usb devices in my virtual Windows Xp box. I have a usb flash drive and a external hard drive that i wish to use.

I get this error: http://version.three-point-o.com/snapshot1.png

Any ideas?

Thanks again

The user manual contains a section about how to fix this problem. Your USB permissions are wrong.

I am not sure that the current USB code works with recent Ubuntus. This will be looked at in the near future.

To

# Edited to enable USB devices with VirtualBox # Original line commented out
# SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0666"

The # preserves the original line if you ever want to restore the defaluts
