Activate USB in Virtualbox Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)

Here I want to share once more how to enable USB in the virtual machine (Virtualbox). For linux users syorkan I use virtualbox and not its xVM ose. So-so all you download this package here DEB http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
After already downloaded, please install the package. To ease the contemporary, cross-legged in a mode as root on the bottom. login as root by type :



$ sudo su

If you have not set for the root password, please refer the post before this. During the root mode type command below: --

$ gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh

Position in bottom line on the line to 40 and save.

$ mkdir-p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
$ domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
$ ln-s .usbfs /devices/dev/bus/usb/devices
$ mount - rbind/dev/bus/usb/proc/bus/usb

Then type command below: --

$ gedit /etc/fstab

Position on bottom line the last line and save.

# usbfs
 none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid = 46, devmode = 664 0 0

Already completed, please restart your system and it will work perfectly.

This post is only for Linux users and Virtualbox xVM only, with no KENE hit the virtual os and other software.

Happy Testing....!!!

  1. Virtual Box on Jaunty does not require usbfs.

    See “Implementation Notes for Windows and Linux Hosts” at http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#id2632723

    The only requirement is mambership in the vboxusers group.

  2. This fix *does* work and *is* necessary for Januty. Just relying on being added to the vboxusers group is not enough.

    This is the longest-standing bug in virtualbox for linux history. I wish they would FIX it!
