I'll reproduce it here.
You need to edit an init script:
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
Then look for the following:
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
#
# 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
Remove the #'s from the last four lines so it looks like this :
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
#
# 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
Reboot
This seems to have fixed the issue for me.

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
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
3.2 Change them to the following
- Code: Select all Expand viewCollapse view
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="usbusers", MODE="0664"
4. Restart your PC
5. You should now have write access to all usb devices.

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.
