No USB devices available after upgrade
No USB devices available after upgrade
I have an odd problem that occurred after upgrading to the most recent version of Vbox. Currently I'm running Vbox 4.3.6 on LinuxMint 16, with XP as a guest OS. After upgrading whenever I look on the menu under "Devices, USB Devices" it does not show anything connected (that includes my USB keyboard and mouse). If I plug in a USB flash drive, USB scanner, etc they are seen by the host, but never by the guest OS. I have checked the settings and USB is enabled. Any ideas on why none of my USB devices are available to my guest OS?

Did you also update the extension pack?

Yes the extension pack was also updated as were the guest additions.

Then I would verify that your user name is still in the vboxusers group
