Ubuntu 17.10 does not see usb devices

[kraeml]

I have the same problems but I'm in group vboxusers.

Code: Select all

$ id
uid=1000(michl) gid=1000(michl) Gruppen=1000(michl),4(adm),5(tty),20(dialout),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),116(lpadmin),127(vboxusers),130(sambashare),999(docker)

$ VBoxManage -v
5.2.8r121009

$ VBoxManage list extpacks
Extension Packs: 1
Pack no. 0:   Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack
Version:      5.2.8
Revision:     121009
Edition:      
Description:  USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 Host Controller, Host Webcam, VirtualBox RDP, PXE ROM, Disk Encryption, NVMe.
VRDE Module:  VBoxVRDP
Usable:       true 
Why unusable: 

$ VBoxManage list usbhost
Host USB Devices:

<none>

With sudo I see my devices.

Any idea. I don't wan't run my box with root privileges.

1) What's your host?
2) Did you reboot your host?

I rebooted my system twice. (Be sure)

My os is

Code: Select all

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 17.10
Release:	17.10

After reboot still the same:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage list usbhost
Host USB Devices:

<none>

I finally decided to split your post from the "[Solved] Virtualbox does not see usb device" thread. I don't really like discussing new issues in threads that have been marked as [Solved].

I didn't see an "lsusb" from the host yet, so, could you post that? And I'm not sure if all the necessary packages for proper host USB support are installed, I wouldn't know what to look for. That's without even taking VirtualBox into account...

Thanks for splitting. Good idea.

Here my lsusb:
