Let me correct this … the good old’ “shutdown -r” already did something … my USB devices *are* now visible in VBox but this specific USB controller is not working unfortunately ;-(
Tried a regular usb-memory stick and this does work well on my guest XP

Ohh crap ….

Hi,

Seems not to be working on Fedora 16 (x64) and VBox 4.1.8r75467

“lsusb” give my X10 controller (CMPro15) and when plugging/unplugging I see it appear in the logs on Fedora.

My “USB device” list remains completely empty in VBox, not even a USB memory stick appears…

Any clues ?

In the following command:

echo none /vbusbf usbfs rw.devgid=501,devmode=664 0 0

It should be a ‘,’, not a ‘.’ after rw. The correct command would be:

echo none /vbusbf usbfs rw,devgid=501,devmode=664 0 0 >> /etc/fstab

Looked everywhere for fixes for Fedora 15. All kinds of information out there and none of it helped. This worked on VB 4.1 for me!

The echo command is missing a redirect

>> /etc/fstab

This does not seem to help on CentOS-5 – still no USB access.

thanks, this does work on my fedora 12
but i’m still wondering why usb devices were already writeable for my user while only owned by root:root.
Since i’m not a member of the root group it means there is another way to be given the rights on the device which is not used by virtualbox but it should be (a policy ?).
