Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

1. ubuntu 9.10
2. virtualbox-ose:  3.0.8-dfsg-1ubuntu1
3./4.
I use a Windows XP guest which i originally created on ubuntu 9.4

Under ubuntu 9.10 everything is running fine. I can use CDROM und share folders 
with host. Only USB is not working:
- I don't have USB Devices options in the Settings (when guest is powered off)
- In the machine Window under Devices -> USB Devices it says 'no available 
devices'

I followed these instructions WITHOUT success (playing with groups and
adding a line in fstab): http://ubuntuguide.net/enable-virtualbox-
virtual-machinesguests-usb-support

Doing this i observed the following curious things:
- there was NO group vboxusers
- neither was there a group with 'usb' in the name
