Re: USB problems on (K)Ubuntu 9.04
No solution here, but I can report the same problem.
The scanner and the printer can be selected, but my GPS can not. (Listed as "Unknown device 091E:0003 [0001]".)
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and the latest VirtualBox version.
I just installed a new computer, on my old computer this used to work without any special action. (Also running Ubuntu 9.04 but 32-bit, the VirtualBox however was an older version.)

If you don't have problems on 32bit, probably it's a specific problem of 64bit versions (mine is AMD64)Biggerfoot wrote:No solution here, but I can report the same problem.

But I found out that all devices are available if I run VirtualBox as root, so it seems to be a problem with my rights. (Not that I have any idea of what to change or why there are different rights for this device.)

Re: USB problems on (K)Ubuntu 9.04
Had the same problem with opensuse 11.1 and Vbox3.0.4 and solved it this way:
It is a problem with usb rights. Change to root (su) and enter
ls -al /proc/bus/usb/*/001
i think you'll get root as user and group at the resulting list. You must change or add the following line at your etc/fstab
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,busgid=1000,busmode=0775,devgid=xxxx,devmode=0664 0 0
Enter the number of your virtualbox users group instead of xxxx
(to get it enter: grep vbox /etc/group )
Restart your pc or enter
mount usbfs
and you should be done
Kind regards
Klaus

Re: USB problems on (K)Ubuntu 9.04
I did a lot of the kinds of things listed above, but I finally right-clicked on the USB icon at the bottom of the VB application and clicked on my printer to enable detection. I had to switch from VB OSE to VB-3.0, and I created or added myself to the vb group. And I added that above line to the fstab, but I previously had another line that may have worked as well if I had thought to right-click the icon. It took a few hours, so maybe this will save some one or some people some time.
