Hi!
I was running Virtualbox 5.1.12 on OpenSUSE 13.2 KDE 64bits. It was working greate.
Since OpenSUSE stop supporting 13.2 this januar, i deside to upgrade.
I install the latest OpenSUSE 42.2 LEAP KDE.
I import my old userprofile so i just had to install Virualbox and my guest-OS was automatic found.
Everything work, but i have lost all USB-devices. When i right-click on the USB-button it said "No USB devices connected".
I tried to reinstall Virtualbox drivers and the Extensions package.
The exact version is: 5.1.12 r112440 (Qt5.6.1)

Re: Lost USB-devices after reinstall host-os
Please take a look at the User Manual, Ch. 2.3.4 The vboxusers group, part of the Ch. 2.3. Installing on Linux hosts.
PS. I didn't put the direct link to 2.3.4 because it might change.

Yes, reading the User Manual usually has these side-effects, unfortunatelly 
Glad you got it going. I'm wondering although why the installation of VirtualBox didn't create the 'vboxusers' group. Or it did and you simply were not a part of it?
