How to enable USB on VirtualBox in Ubuntu Hardy
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008
As I have seen heaps of topics now in regards USB and different problems, I deceided to post my solution which I have created doing a lot of reading through the all loved www.
It is now all working fine for me and I have experienced all problems, a lot of you guys have or had.
USB not there, USB greyed out, only working without USB 2.0 etc.This would be basically just a summarize of a few topics out of this forum. Please note, I don’t wont credit at all, as this is nothing else then a collection of different information I found.
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.
