mmm ok, so the same stuff worked on 14.04 but not on 16.04, and seems to affect only host, because with no guest installed you can't even see (some/all) devices. lets try: sudo ls -l /dev/vbox* try virtualbox from bash, and look if anything is printed during the startup/run also, without checking virtual machines: open virtualbox, click settings, and tell me what is printed (screenshot is fine) on the usb section. this should be enough to troubleshoot permission issues: the next step might be to download virtualbox from oracle website, and see if the issue is debian/ubuntu packaging specific or not.

Hi, I have tried to reboot. The problem exists using Win7 and WinXP. I think that it is independent from the OS.
