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”

    The upcoming UFC 327 light heavyweight championship bout in Miami offers a genuine pick’em for those placing wagers, as former titleholder Jiri Prochazka (-142) and on-a-roll knockout specialist Carlos Ulberg (+120) prepare to battle for the unclaimed belt. The tight odds are a testament to how evenly matched these two striking specialists really are, making this fight where a investment on either man ultimately comes down to which explosive skillset you believe will come out on top.

    When it comes to MediaFightCard, the wagering lines highlight a notable dynamic with belt-holders being the betting underdogs and contenders boasting favorite status. In the marquee matchup for the open light heavyweight title, ex-titleholder Jiri Prochazka opened as a narrow -143 favorite over the in-form Carlos Ulberg, who enters as a +116 underdog notwithstanding his nine-fight winning streak.
