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 ideas here are presented in a clear way and naturally, which helps make the discussion feel more engaging overall.

    Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at wildshoregalleria extended the surprise, the rare experience of stumbling into excellent independent content rather than predictable mediocrity is one of the actual remaining pleasures of casual web browsing and this site provided it cleanly.

    Refreshing change from the usual sites covering this topic, no clickbait and no padding, and a stop at trendyvaluezone confirmed the difference, this place clearly has its own voice rather than copying the formulas everyone else uses to chase clicks online which is becoming increasingly rare these days across nearly every popular subject.

    Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour, and a stop at lagooncrown extended that quiet processing, content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.

    Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at marveldome continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.

    Reading this in the gap between work projects was a small but meaningful break, and a stop at classystylemarket extended that gentle reset, content that provides genuine refreshment rather than just distraction during work breaks is content with a particular kind of utility and this site fits that role for me reliably during work days.

    A clear cut above the usual noise on the subject, and a look at brightwindemporium only made that gap wider in my view, the kind of place that earns its visitors through quality rather than through aggressive marketing or sponsored placements which is increasingly the only way most sites stay afloat across the modern web.

    Saving the link for sure, this one is a keeper, and a look at softpineoutlet confirmed I should bookmark the entire site rather than just this page, the consistency across what I have seen so far suggests there is a lot more here worth coming back for soon when I have more time.

    Thanks for laying this out in a way that someone newer to the topic can follow, and a stop at urbanpeakselection kept that accessibility going, writing that meets readers at different experience levels without condescending is hard to do well and the writers here have clearly thought about who they are writing for.

    На данном этапе специалист уточняет, как долго продолжается запой, какой вид алкоголя употребляется и имеются ли сопутствующие заболевания. Тщательный анализ информации позволяет оперативно определить степень интоксикации и выбрать оптимальные методы терапии для быстрого и безопасного вывода из запоя.

    A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at blueharborbloom extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.

    A genuine pleasure to find a site that publishes at a sustainable cadence rather than chasing the daily content treadmill, and a look at wildridgeattic confirmed the careful publication rhythm, sites that prioritise quality over frequency are rare and this one has clearly chosen the slower pace which I appreciate as a reader.

    Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at freshcluster the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.

    Now appreciating that I did not feel exhausted after reading, and a stop at cosmoorchid extended that energising quality, content that leaves me with more attention than it consumed is rare and the gap between draining and energising content is real over the course of a typical day spent reading widely online.

    Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at globalvaluecorner earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.

    Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at shopthelatestdeals extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.

    Skipped the TLDR thinking I would read everything anyway, and ended up enjoying the path through the full post, and a stop at meritgrange similarly rewarded the patient read, summaries are useful but the journey through good writing is part of what makes the destination feel earned rather than just delivered cleanly.

    Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at lagoonforge continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.

    Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at freshguild maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.

    Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out, the points stand on their own without needing extra context, and a look at bravopier kept the same approach going, brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.
