Getting USB to work on the non-FOSS version of Virtualbox on OpenSuse 11.1

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009

This section does not apply to the Open Source Edition (OSE), as the OSE version does not have USB support.

This section applies only to the commercial version supplied as a binary file. The following instructions were tested using VirtualBox-1.5.0_24069_openSUSE102-2.x86_64.rpm.run on openSUSE 10.3 for x86_64. Before using these instructions be sure you have a successful, working install of VirtualBox. You will need to be logged in under the user ID of root to use these instructions.

It is now all working fine for me and I have experienced all problems, a lot of you guys have or had.

The running host is Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) with a Windows XP SP2 guest. After successful installation I installed the client extensions to get the shared folders and a few other nice things running. USB turned out to be a bit of a pain.
