usb question

Post by cat509 »

Every time I log out of virtual box what ever usb peripherals I have captured become busy. Is there a way I can keep them captured each time I start a virtual box machine?

Thanks!

There seems to be some sort of problem that prevents this from happening in Windows. I have been working with the VirtualBox Devs to try and figure this out but for the time being the only way to make this happen is to use a blank filter and once the guest is running you unplug the USB device and then plug it back in.
If this applies to you as well you can put yourself in the ticket. You will need to setup a new account there to be able to post.

Thanks! I'll keep my eye over there from time to time. Glad it's not just me.
