Dear All,

Recently I have installed Win 7 Enterprise Edition in Sun's VirtualBox, but cannot get USB to work. In Settings/USB devices it correctly states that it is a Kingston Data Traveller, but this line is greyed out. Down at the status bar after pulling the cursor over the USB stick icon a popup says that there is no USB devices plugged.

Are there further settings needed or what did I miss?

Thanks, OszkoA Which version of VirtualBox do you have installed? The OSE version does not support USB devices.

It is the Sun-Oracle kind Virtualbox.

Or the USB icon at the bottom of the window?

Yes, I did so. Both of my pendrives are listed in Devices-> USB Devices. But they are greyed out. Moving the cursor over the names shows some info (Vendor, product etc.). The bottom line is Status: unavailable (or something similar). The USB icon at the bottom of the window says there is no USB device plugged/mounted. OszkoA

Which *version*? There are two different versions on the download page. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You may need to tweak fstab.

Also look into http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=33944#p33944 (USB questions).

This hasn't been necessary for a number of releases. I have asked the OP twice for which version he has installed. There is a binary version and and OSE version on the download page. If he installed the OSE version USB support is not available. Until he answers the question I cannot help him further. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There are two versions: OSE which is the open source edition in which the USB devices are not expected to work and the PUEL version in which the USB should work. I toyed with the PUEL version and windows7 guest and USB a few weeks ago but could not get them to work. However, USB worked perfectly in other guests such as windows xp. Hope that helps.

Also, If you're using an old (Sun branded) version of VirtualBox, check to make sure that you're tweaking /etc/fstab if needed - check the end-user docs. The current (Oracle branded) version of VirtualBox doesn't require this, so upgrade if possible.

I beg to differ - I just had to do exactly that running a win XP guest on the latest version of virtualbox. It also may be necessary to add your user to the vboxusers group. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for all of you for the help. Now VirtualBox 3.2.6 (PUEL version, of course) works fine with USB support. The clue was to tweak /etc/fstab. The host is OS 11.2 the guest is Win 7 Enterprise.

OszkoA

Perhaps you can post your tweak just in case there are others out there who are struggling like you were. Eddie -- Delight thyself also in the Lord and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

I added the following line to /etc/fstab:

Here devgid=1000 may change depending on the group ID of vboxuser group.

After that I ran a "mount-a" command and that's all (for now, at least)

Strange, because my fstab entry is:- usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 and it has always worked. D Cotton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
