That's not good. There is another work around for the usb problem in Virtualbox that I have seen proposed. I have not tested it yet. The workaround uses udev instead of fstab modifying the udev rules as follows:
sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules
Find the line with:
# libusb device access #SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MODE="0644"
Change the mode (permissions) in the line to:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", NAME="bus/usb/$env{BUSNUM}/$env{DEVNUM}", MODE="0666"
Clayton, if you could, give this a shot and see if it works.
OK, made the change... and it had no effect. I even went so far as to reboot... and no USB in VirtualBox. This didn't break the iPod (3G Nano video) mounting though like the other change does. When I plug in the iPod, it automounts correctly, and I can use it with Amarok etc. Just to restate the problem... USB does work in VB if I use the fstab method, but this breaks things for iPods. I only have problems with iPods when the fstab is edited. All other USB devices work fine (joystick, keyboard, mouse, card readers, Nokia N800, scaner etc.) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
