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”

    Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at urbanharvesthub kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.

    Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked brightwillowboutique I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.

    Honest assessment after reading this twice is that it holds up under careful attention, and a look at trendandstylecorner extended that durability across more pages, content that survives a second read without revealing weak spots is rarer than the average reader probably realises and this site clearly cleared that bar.

    Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at fleetessence provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.

    Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at goldmanor extended that elevated framing, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.

    Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at mistyharbortrends extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.

    There is something very appealing about the way this post communicates its message, because it stays clear, balanced, and simple to follow while also making the topic feel meaningful and interesting for a broad audience of readers online.

    Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at laurellake only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.

    Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at brightstonevillage 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.

    Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at fleetmarina reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.

    Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at candidpalace pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.

    Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at urbanwildfabrics extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.

    Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at leafdawn continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.

    Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at sunrisetrailmarket continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.

    Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at micamarket added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.

    A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at graingrove 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.

    A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at sunwavecollection reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.

    Looking at this from the perspective of someone tired of generic content the contrast is striking, and a look at bluepeakdesignhouse maintained that distinctive feel, sites with strong editorial identity stand out against the bland background of algorithmic content and this one has clearly developed an identity worth recognising through careful attention.
