I recently got USB working with VirtualBox on my machine (x86 Squeeze) by following the instructions in section 11.5.7 of the User Manual (available from <http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads>). My /etc/fstab file contains this line: none /proc/bus/usb vboxusers devgid=127,devmode=664 0 0 Line 75 of my /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh (should be a single line): domount usbfs usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs -onodev,noexec,nosuid,devgid=127,devmode=664 (I added the devgid and devmode options; the devgid here matches the devgid in /etc/fstab) And make sure your user account belongs to the vboxusers group. - Chris Burkhardt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
