You need to create a filter for the USB you device you are trying to use before seeing it on the Guest. Take a look here: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#id2503528 > > 3.

When using a linux guest AND installing the guest additions you get a new filesystem type, that you can use to mount the shared folders. Look about it here: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#sharedfolders But, put simple, on the Linux VM all you need is this: mount -t vboxsf <sharename> <mountpoint> > > > Regards Ian. > > On Thu, 2009-07-09 at 13:37 -0300, Antonio Augusto (Mancha) wrote: >> Hey and welcome :) >> >> On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 12:43, Ian Chapman<[email protected]> wrote: >> > Hi, I've installed VirtualBox on my Ubuntu 9.04 on an AMD 64 system.
