I can't get Virtualbox to recognize usb items such as memory sticks.
I can boot a usb sitck in Virtualbox.
Here is the instructions on that if anyone is interested:
###########################################
Boot memory stick in Vbox:
Find out what sd the memory stick is. In the following instrucions it's sdc
Unmount memory Stick
su
chmod 666 /dev/sdc1
chmod 666 /dev/sdc
change to the directory where you want the temporary raw disk to be.
The following 1 command can probably be run as regular user, and only needs to be done once if you use the same dmdk
file, and the same /dev/sdc
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename usb.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdc
chmod 777 usb.vmdk
chmod 666 /dev/sdc
Attach usb.vmdk virtualbox machine
chmod 666 /dev/sdc
Start virtualbox machine
After done, reset sdc1 permission for security:
chmod 660 /dev/sdc1
##########################################
But the normal use of memory sticks in Virtualbox I can't get to work. I've been reading on all of the solutions
commonly listed on the internet, and many of them are old methods with older kernels and differences in different
distributions.
So I figured I'd ask here to see what you had to do to get USB to work in
Virtualbox.
