** Changed in: virtualbox (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
** Description changed:
Hi, a general users can not access USB devices. The root user (or sudo
virtualbox) can access to USB devices. I have executed the following
commands without success (the tested user is "marco"):
usermod -a -G vboxusers marco
usermod -a -G vboxsf marco
Please write me if you need more information.
+
+ PS After a successive check, I noticed that the "root" user (that I
+ have enabled in my Ubuntu Xenial) can see the usb scanner (that
+ requires XP drivers) but the TWAIN driver does not detect the scanner.
+ VirtualBox show the USB scanner as attached.
