Indeed, USB appears not to be working. (Never used it.) I have dkms and dh-dkms installed. The VirtualBox-6.1 deb has been installed and upgraded with 'dpkg -i'. It also puts VBoxGuestAdditions.iso into /usr/share/virtualbox. Then in the guest OS you can choose Devices > Insert Guest Additions CD image... from the menu. More about installing and maintaining the guest additions: www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#additions-linux I should also note that right now there appear to be problems with the latest kernel, 5.18.0. The message in the terminal where VB was started from, says: "WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (5.18.0-1-amd64) or it failed to load." Probably a temporary problem. When starting Debian with the previous kernel 5.17.0, VB still works.
