Hello all,
I have installed `VirtualBox-4.1.4' on Slackware-13.37 (kernel 2.6.37).
I have already installed `VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.4.iso' and
`Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.4.vbox-extpack'. Also I have
created `vboxusers' (gid=215) and added the non-root user to that.
My problem is that if I start VirtualBox as root, in Windows XP-SP3
guest I can use USB devices with no problem at all, but I as a normal user
although the USB device icon is shown in icon tray, it is not visible in
'My Computer' window.
Searching the Web and VirtualBox User Manual/FAQ/forum/mailing lists I
have tested the followings but none of them could fix the problem:
1 -- Added the following two lines to /etc/fstab and rebooted the
system: {{{
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=215,devmode=0666 0 0
/sys/bus/usb/drivers /proc/bus/usb usbfs
devgid=215,devmode=0666 0 0
}}}
2 -- Added the non-root user to plugdev (gid=83) group and applied the
following changes to /etc/rc.d/rc.S and rebooted the system: {{{

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Please let me know if any more information is needed.
Thanks -Hossein
