Sorry, but this is not working. I followed the procedure described below, but although 4 usb devices are visible, only the first is accessible and the other 3 are greyed out. I looked at the /dev/vboxusb directory before I made the changes:
fiume:/etc/init.d # ll /dev/vboxusb total 0 drwxr-x--- 2 root vboxusers 60 Apr 28 00:30 001 drwxr-x--- 2 root vboxusers 60 Apr 28 00:30 005 drwxr-x--- 2 root vboxusers 60 Apr 28 00:30 006 drwxr-x--- 2 root vboxusers 60 Apr 28 00:30 007 After I did the change to /etc/init.d/vboxdrv and started it up, the /dev/vboxusb directory is empty: fiume:/etc/init.d # /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start Starting VirtualBox kernel modules done fiume:/etc/init.d # ll -d /dev/vboxusb drwxr-x--- 2 root vboxusers 40 Apr 28 00:38 /dev/vboxusb fiume:/etc/init.d # ll /dev/vboxusb total 0 No sub-directories anymore! I remembered an old issue with the same symptoms (only 1 USB accesible), and changed the MODE="0600" into MODE:="0600" in the 10-vboxdrv.rules, but this time it did not help either. (Is that mode correct? It used to be 0664, from my old notes of 1 year ago.) Any help would be appreciated.
