Ubuntu, VirtualBox 2.2 and USB

Published by Matheus (X-warrior) Bratfisch on April 25, 2009

Hello,

Now, with this new version of ubuntu, i will post alot about it while I’m trying configurations. I don’t want to teach how to install VirtualBox 2.2, because it’s a package .deb and is so easy to install it (Download Sun VirtualBox). In this post I want to remember that we should select the option “Enable IO APIC” in “Settings – General – Advanced”. (My version of WinXp doesn’t work without it). So if you system is not booting, verify this option. Now let’s go to enable USB in your Virtual machine.

You have to install “Guest Additions”, use the menu “Devices – Install Guest Additions”. (Don’t forget to mount it on your cd in virtualbox)

After you install it go to console:

$ grep vbox /etc/group
The result is something similar to this: vboxusers:x:gid:user

(If your user is not there, add it “System – Administration – Users and groups”)

Edit the file “mountkernfs.sh”:
$ sudo pico /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh

Go to the end of do_start(), and before the } add this line:
domount usbfs “” /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs -onoexec,nosuid,nodev,devgid=GID,devmode=644

(Replace the GID with your GID)

Save the file, reboot the computer and use your usb in your virtualmachine.

The site that make me try this way is http://www.davidgrant.ca/virtualbox_usb_windows_xp_guest_ubuntu_hardy. This website don’t says it works on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty), so i tried and it worked.

I hope this is useful,
Matheus

PS: You have to select the device you want to use in virtual machine in “Device – USB DEVICES”

    Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at uniquetrendcollection extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.

    Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at shopthebestfinds produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.

    Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at beststylecollection continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.

    Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at starlightforest pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.

    A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at urbanstylechoice continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.

    Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at curiopact held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.

    Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at briskcanopy extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.

    The post made the topic feel approachable without making it feel trivial, that is a fine balance, and a stop at creativehomeoutlet maintained the same balance, finding the middle ground between welcoming and serious is genuinely difficult and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently hit it well across many different posts.

    Reading this back to back with a similar piece elsewhere made the quality difference obvious, and a stop at frostorchard only widened the gap, comparing content side by side is a useful exercise and the gap between this site and average competitors in the space is large enough to be noticeable from the first paragraph.

    Took the time to read every paragraph rather than skimming for the punchline, and a quick visit to brighttimbermarket earned the same careful attention from me, that is the highest signal I can give about content quality because my default mode is rapid scanning rather than deliberate reading on most pages.

    Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at bestdailycorner continued that respectful but unfussy treatment, finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.

    Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through dreamcrestridge only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.

    Now recognising the post as a rare example of careful writing on a topic that mostly receives careless treatment, and a stop at lakeblossom extended that contrast with the average elsewhere, content that highlights how much the average is settling for low quality is content that has both internal merit and external value as a benchmark.

    Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at isleprairie extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.

    The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at briskolive continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.

    Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after galafactor I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.

    Вы получаете не просто разовую процедуру, а комплекс медицинской помощи. Врач нарколога может объяснить родственникам, как говорить с зависимым, что делать после капельницы, какие препараты принимать, когда необходимо лечение в клинике и почему кодирование алкоголизма или реабилитация часто становятся следующим этапом. Такой подход помогает не только вывести пациента из запоя, но и начать полноценное восстановление.

    Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at autumnpeakstudio did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.

    Reading this on a long flight and finding it the best thing I read across hours of trying, and a stop at timbercrestcorner kept the streak going, when content beats long flight reading you know it has substance because flight reading is a hard test of a piece given the alternatives available everywhere.

    Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through flarelantern I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

    Reading this gave me confidence to make a decision I had been putting off, and a stop at lushgrovecorner reinforced that confidence, content that translates into action in my own life rather than just informing it is content with the highest practical value and this site is generating that action level utility for me lately.
