Public bug reported:
After upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy, virtual box unable to recognise
USB devices. I used virtualbox to install Win XP.
This is the error report I got:
Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service
might be not installed on the host computer.
Result Code: 0x80004005 Component: Host Interface: IHost {81729c26
-1aec-46f5-b7c0-cc7364738fdb} Callee: IMachine {31f7169f-14da-
4c55-8cb6-a3665186e35e}
This is the virtualbox log report:
00:00:00.466 VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED)}
aPreserve=false
00:00:00.492 Power up failed (vrc=VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED,
hrc=0x80004005)
I found the solution to it as well at <a
href="http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/747";>this place</a>!
Since usbfs is not activated by default in gutsy I consider it a bug.
For those of who have already upgraded:
Please open the following file: /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
Find the following lines:
#mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
-obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
#ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
#mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
Unmark them so that look like this:
mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
-obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
Restart and your usb devices will be recognised.
