Hi there, I'm using Virtual Box 2.0.6 (NOT the open source edition but the other one), my host system is linux ubuntu 8.0.4 and the guest os is Windows XP II Edition.
I've got the "famous" error "Could not load the Hos USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not be installed on the host computer". The very strange thing is that yesterday the USB support worked well, i was able to do a synchronization with my palm in Windows XP. Today i've tried to re-follow the instructions explained here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#USB but the problem still remains. Maybe the problem is in the lines: # # Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work in virtualbox version < 2.0.6 # mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644 ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb That works only with virtualbox version < 2.0.6. But what about 2.0.6 ? I've tried to comment all of them or to uncomment only the last line (it seems that /proc/bus/usb must still be mounted) but anything worked. Is it wrong to make them uncommented in vbox 2.0.6 ? Or maybe the problem is in another place. Today (never tried before) i also tried to add the following line to /etc/fstab: none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=130, devmode=664 0 0 where "130" is the virtualbox group but nothing changes. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Emanuele Gesuato _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
