So here is what I did. Purged Oracle's virtual box, removed my ~/.VirtualBox. Purged the package's installation directory (had some modules that aptitude didn't remove) and followed that by installing Debian's Virtualbox package. I then installed the extension I am using from Oracle's website. Now I have USB support and I can read USB sticks from within the guest OS. However, I am unable to work my Tomtom GPS unit via USB. Not sure where the problem lies anymore, since the Tomtom unit actually connects as a network or something, instead of a storage device. So it could be Tomtom (but I was able to work with it till about a couple of weeks ago) or the new updates in Debian. -- Please reply to this list only.
