I have been trying to install VirtualBox 5.1 on ubuntu 16.04. The installed Virtual Box works with my restored machine with one problem. I am unable to access USB printers and scanners connected to the host system. All work from the Ubuntu system
It is quite likely that I am doing something wrong in the installation but I believe that I have followed all of the steps correctly. I am doing a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04. The version of VirtualBox in the repository is 5.024 and I could not get it to work since many of the dependencies had to be applied after th install. Despite several days of mucking around I could not get it to work Would someone please point me to the best site for getting installation instructions for 5.1? Do I have to recreate my virtual machine? It was originally created using 32 bit Ubuntu 12.?. I have Windoss XP and Office XP installed in it (both 32 bit). I do not store any data in my Virtual machines using linked folders in the Linux home directory. I have 4 machines involved , all Lenovo laptops 2 T400, 1 R61, 1 X61s all running Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit.
