Hello. A decade ago I was a frequent PLUG attender and learned a lot from other members. I use Linux MINT nowdays for routine things (and some Ham Radio Digital Communications) and am marginally competent with it, for routine things. .
I'm into VirtualBox now and seem stuck! Have tried installing VirtualBox (along with the matching Oracle Extensions) on a half dozen new and old computers with a half-dozen different Linux builds. VirtualBoxseems to work OK in limited testing with Windows 7 and other guests, however *I cannot get the USB and COM ports to work* as a guest from a box. But those same ports work fine when running Windows or Linux from the base alone. After much reading and testing I can't find the problem. . I wonder if there might be someone at the next Sunday afternoon clinic who could help if I brought a portable computer along with Linux? Or even better, is there someone on the Vancouver side of the river who I might contact directly for a little local help? (I live in Salmon Creek.) . Thanks for any help.
