[WorksForMe] 6.0.10 on Mint 19.2 no USB seen by vbox

Post by bmaring »

Have reinstalled extensions, restarted host and vbox several times. Vbox settings can see no host USBs Was working fine until the last couple days. I believe I saw a vbox update that may have broken vbox. By the way, kernel is 5.0.0-25.

The belonging in the 'vboxusers' group is actually a well known requirement, I have it actually in red in the USB basics and troubleshooting FAQ. ;)
