The link refers to fixing an Ubuntu Gutsy bug that disables USB support. But the problem is that Virtualbox OSE does not support USB. -- [gutsy] virtualbox-ose should handle errors caused by lack of USB support gracefully https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148784 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Note that 1001 is the id of the group vboxusers! In my configuration, it was 123 for example. You can find out by going to System-Administration-Users and Groups-Manage Groups, and clicking on the Properties button when having selected vboxusers. -- [gutsy] virtualbox-ose should handle errors caused by lack of USB support gracefully https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148784 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
