USB Support on Solaris 11 Express Host

Post by maccam94 »

When I open the settings for my Ubuntu guest, I get the following error: Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED). I've seen a lot of info on how to fix this issue by changing permissions on Linux, but Solaris works differently. Anyone know what I need to do to make USB forwarding work?

Have you put your <user name> in the vboxuser group on the host?
Hint: min of logoff required when changing permissions.
