I make no claim as to my qualifications, but I downloaded the 8.04.1 version of Ubuntu, then used a report elsewhere as to how to enable USB support in it by removing some comments in one of the script files. That enabled USB support, but with some noted issues. I didn't have to report it I guess, but it seemed appropriate in case others encountered the same problems of the supporters needed to know the effects involved. The thing abut 8,04,1 is that you may gain something, but it looks like you give up something as well. So I am sticking with 8.04 for the present. -------Original Message------- From: Xavier Poinsard Date: 12/17/2008 08:43:00 AM To: oldef...@cox.net Subject: [Bug 260192] Re: Ubuntu 8.04.1 & Sun VirtualBox Incompatibility Since you mention USB, I assume you are using the closed source version of virtualbox, isnt'it ?
