I followed all the steps suggested below. in Properties I had an ID:1005 I rebooted. No changes. Still I am unable to have USB ports working on Virtual Box. After intensive search I found the following: ""Solution:
within /etc/fstab change the following line: usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 to usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devgid=1004,devmode=0660,busgid=1004,busmode=0770,listgid=1004,listmode=0660 0 0 edit-this line does not work, probably a bad entry for "devmode" try "devmode=0666" assuming vboxusers group id is 1004" Can I be advised if the above instructions can be implemented successfully if attempt to do it? Please advise. in my /etc/fstab there was no entry at all for USB. Thank you in advance, I am desperate...

You must add yourself to that group, too. Quick steps: Open System Menu / Administration / User and Groups Click on "Manage Groups" Check if "usbfs" is present, probably at the bottom of the group list. If not, "Add a group", name it "usbfs", and check your account in the properties windows that just opened.
