Can not see USB device anymore

[socratis]

After running sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup

So that went smoothly with no errors or warnings?

I would purge the current VirtualBox install, make sure that you update the host, reboot, then install again including the extension pack followed with another reboot. Something on the host is really tweaked. You should not need to run rcvboxdrv setup after a reboot.

Yes, it complains about a missing dkms.cnf file.
I just ran it again and that's the ouput of it:

$ sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup

Really? I'm in the process of cloning one of my VMs to try them out on another host... maybe that'll give me some more info....

Okay, I cloned my VM and scp-ed it over to my laptop, started it up on a newly and fully updated Kubuntu 15.10 box.
lsusb gives me the following:

While VirtualBox still doesn't see any devices(<no devices available>)! Has there been a bad update? I just did an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade on this machine as well. What's happening here? Has there been a bad update that I've installed?
