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”

    Недавно столкнулся с ситуацией, когда на меня внезапно обрушился шквал клеветы и наговоров. Оказалось, что моё имя попало на какую-то скам-платформу, где публиковались лживые данные и грязные списки. Это настоящий произвол и беспредел, когда кто-то может безнаказанно подставлять людей, распространяя фейки и выдуманные санкции. Пытался разобраться, но столкнулся с полным отсутствием ответственности за такие действия. Если вам интересна эта тема, советую изучить Сайт, который позорит невиновных — там подробно описано, как работают подобные клеветнические базы и чёрные списки. Это позор и грязь, с которыми нужно бороться, ведь травля и донос могут разрушить жизнь любого человека.

  10. tenobet_baOl tenobet_baOl

    Been using Tenobet since roughly five months on and off, mainly slots plus the odd accumulator action at the weekend. Not gonna lie, I first joined after someone on another thread sent me a link, and I half expected it to be rubbish.\n\nGame selection is genuinely big — they claim over 3,000 titles last time I scrolled. The usual suspects are there: Pragmatic, NetEnt, Play’n GO, Yggdrasil. My go-tos are Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza, although Bonanza Megaways is where I lose the most. Live side is Evolution, which is basically the gold standard — actual dealers, blackjack tables at all hours, and Crazy Time if you fancy something daft.\n\nThe welcome thing with Tenobet maxes at ?125 with a chunk of bonus spins, and the wagering was 35x , so fair enough. No free-money freebie unless I missed it, you need ?10 to kick it off. If you want the current terms have a look at tenobet since these change. My gripe: the spin credits vanish quick and I lost half of mine to being busy.\n\nWithdrawals are the bit I actually care about. E-wallet took under 24 hours the two times I tried, card took three working days, which is just how cards are. You also get Neteller, Mastercard and crypto, but I’ve never used crypto on a bookie. The ID check was painless enough — passport and a utility bill, cleared overnight.\n\nNo app on the Play Store, it’s a browser version and it’s fine — I’ve placed bets on it on the train plenty. Live chat on Tenobet took about five minutes when I asked about a stuck bonus, human, not a bot loop. Licensed and regulated for UK players, which is why I stuck around.
