USB is not yet supported in the Open Source Edition (OSE). See http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions.
If you want to use the "regular" version from virtualbox.org, you'll have to uncomment a hack in /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh. See http://virtualbox.org/wiki/User_FAQ. I'm closing this bug as Invalid. ** Changed in: virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- VirtualBox cannot access USB peripherals https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157088 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
