[opensuse] VirtualBox and USB support
Greets: Following this instruction http://en.opensuse.org/VirtualBox_USB_Support I ended up with an entry in /etc/fstab as follows: none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=110,devmode=664 0 0 This did not work so got on IRC and the helpfull folks suggested the following line: usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=110,devmode=664 0 0 But this does not seem to give the desired results either. So Im in the dark and clueless as to how to sort this out. Any advice would be appreciated, and yes I did reboot after each change and vbox does work perfectly other then USB support is not shown in the manager. ??

USB will not work with the version shipped with openSUSE (the OSE version). You will need to download and install the version from here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads -- 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 also have to uninstall the suse version and its kernel module manually as the two versions can exist side by side and cause problems. You enable the usb devices via filters.
