Ubuntu Gutsy - USB not working
After upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy whenever I access the settings or start a machine I get the following error:
Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer.
Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Host
Interface:
IHost {81729c26-1aec-46f5-b7c0-cc7364738fdb}
Callee:
IMachine {31f7169f-14da-4c55-8cb6-a3665186e35e}
I have tried 1.50 and 1.52 same result.
I have edited the /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules to change group ownership of usb devices as reccomended here:
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/USB_on_Ubuntu_7.04
All was working well under Feisty.
Anybody got any ideas how to fix this ?

Ok, think I may have found the answer here:
http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/747
I'll reproduce it here.
You need to edit an init script:
Then look for the following:
Remove the #'s from the last four lines so it looks like this :
Reboot
This seems to have fixed the issue for me.

You need to edit an init script:
Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
Code: Select all
#
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
#mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
#ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
#mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
Code: Select all

ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
This seems to have fixed the issue for me.

same problem:rcdeacon wrote:This fix SORT OF worked for me. Now I can see usb under "settings" but when I start xp all of the usb devices are grayed out. Not sure what that problem is but we are making headway. Any ideas?
Code: Select all
Not permitted to open the USB device, check usbfs options.

I think you have to follow the procedure described here for 7.04 to change the usb filesystem permissions.
http://virtualbox.org/wiki/USB_on_Ubuntu_7.04
I'll quote it here for convenience

After I had a taken a look into the insides of Ubuntu 7.04, I managed to get VirtualBox's USB-Support working there in such a way that the user only needs to be a member of a group called usbusers. This howto describes how I did it.
Basically, you just have to tell Ubuntu that a group called usbusers should have read and write access to all usb devices.
1. Create a group called usbusers
2. Add yourself to this group
3. Edit the file /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules (for this, you must have administrative privileges)
3.1 Search for the following lines
3.2 Change them to the following
4. Restart your PC
5. You should now have write access to all usb devices.

Instead of creating a group called usbusers. I just used my user name. That worked for me. I'm using Mint 3.1 Celena.sensimilla wrote:

easiet fix on 7.10 Gutsy
This is a really easy fix

or just add this line to /etc/fstab
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1002,devmode=664 0 0
the devgid number is the vboxusers group id (check to see if yours is different)
Once you've saved and closed fstab just do a sudo mount -a and you should be good to go.
