USB propblems under OpenSuse 11.1 64 bit VBox 3.0

[vberic]

Gee, thanks.

I just spent about 4 days setting up 11.1, re-installing and upgrading all my apps and building my XP VM. Now you want me to do it all over again because something wasn't built right for 11.1? Not to mention whatever new problems might remain in a brand-new release.

If yount want to behalt Opensuse 11.1, you can lies the deutsch Howto

Schau mal im Howto nach (Links siehe Signatur), mit USBFS EIntrag und VBOX_USB Parameter geht es auch mit Suse 11.1. Ist halt Bastelei. Mit 11.2 geht es ohne irgendwas zu machen.

I solved the problem by patching the udev rule that VirtualBox installed:

Code: Select all

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-vboxdrv.rules 
KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0600"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE:="0664"

Note the final assignment := in the last line!

Thanks, Schlomo, my problem solved as well (Opensuse 11.1, 32 bit, VBox 3.1.2 from RPM) I am just wondering why VirtualBox did not correct the problem since it was already noted months ago.
