USB Not Connecting

Post by Gally »

I have installed VM 7.0.12 and Windows 10. I have extensions and guest extensions installed. I get a USB not found and sharing violation between my MAC OS Ventura 13.6.1 and the VM.

Can anyone explain what I need to do to fix this. Everything appears to be working except storage.

Many Thanks

I have a recollection that for the time being, due to Apple's no-kexts restriction starting in Ventura, Virtualbox must be run under sudo to get access to USB.

Could you please explain how to do that. I understand sudo not from the Mac OS GUI.
Thanks

As best I have read from those that do it, you run "sudo Virtualbox" in a terminal.
