vbox 2.2.0 usb problems on Linux hosts

Post by fernandoc1 »

I'm using Ubuntu intrepid 32 bits and I installed Windows XP as a guest system. When I try to use a usb device, it don't appear in the guest system after I create a filter for the device. Is there any way to mount a usb device in guest or am I doing something wrong?
Can sameone help me on this issue?
