Hi all,

I have a problem with USB Controller on VB.

My host is Fedora Core 9. I had installed VB 1.6.2 successfully from Sun. My VM is XP SP2 guest. I had configured NAT/Bridge as well. Now, my VM works very well, but without USB support.

I had tried with How To: Install VirtualBox on Fedora 8 (Werewolf) « SendDerek’s Blog on http://sendderek.wordpress.com/2007/11/ ... -werewolf/
but still not working. I had tried enable USB with and without 2.0 option, but still unsuccessful.

My fstab is:
[root@t60 ~]# cat /etc/fstab

Could anyone help me howto configure USB working with XP guest on VB1.6.2?

Many tks.

Hello.

I, too, am having the same problem. I have added the line:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=501,devmode=664 0 0

to my /etc/fstab file. In addition, I have a group user called usbfs on 501

I'm a little lost as far as USB Device Filters in the VirtualBox settings under the USB tab. I've left it blank, I've filled in my device name, and nothing seems to work. I've also similarly tried to check and uncheck the USB 2.0 option with failed results.

It doesn't seem to matter, the VM cannot see the USB device. I have unmounted the device in Fedora 9 too.

So anyone with Fedora 9 (2.6.25.4-30.fc9.i686.PAE) and got this working, please help us. Hate to go back to VMWare.

Thanks.
