https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1222186 Bug ID: 1222186 Summary: VirtualBox not allowed to access USB devices although user is in vboxusers group Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Virtualization:Other Assignee: virt-bugs@suse.de Reporter: timothyadams@ymail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Since DUPing this morning to the big 20240329 Tumbleweed snapshot (re CVE-2024-3094), I have again lost USB passthrough to scanners in my Win 7 VM in Virtualbox 7.14. In the ~/.config/VirtualBox/VBoxSVC.log, I see many instances of: ----------- 00:00:11.669981 nspr-5 WARNING [COM]: aRC=NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) aIID={e54f6256-97a7-4947-8a78-10c013ddf4b8} aComponent={HostWrap} aText={VirtualBox is not currently allowed to access USB devices. You can change this by adding your user to the 'vboxusers' group. Please see the user manual for a more detailed explanation}, preserve=true aResultDetail=0 ----------- However, the user already was in the vboxusers group! I also see that while logged in as user, I can't see the contents of /dev/vboxusb. The directory is shown as locked, and belonging to vboxusers. Troubleshooting steps taken so far: * Remove user from vboxusers, reboot, add user back to vboxusers, reboot. It didn't help. * Uninstall the VirtualBox extension pack, reboot, re-install the extension pack, reboot. This also didn't help. I'm not 100% certain that this problem appeared only with the 20240329 snapshot. I haven't used the scanners in a few days, might have DUPd to an earlier snapshot in the meantime. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
