I see that vbox search in "/dev/vboxusb" and "/dev/bus/usb" directories for usb nodes, I don't want to touch /dev/bus/usb directly which has r/w permissions only for root so I created following udev rule which create usb nodes in /dev/vboxusb/ with rw permissions for "vboxusers" group (vboxusers is needed to run virtualbox): SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ATTR{devnum}=="?*", ATTR{busnum}=="?*",NAME="vboxusb/$attr{busnum}/$attr{devnum}", GROUP="vboxusers" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{devnum}=="?*", ATTR{busnum}=="?*",NAME="vboxusb/$attr{busnum}/$attr{devnum}", GROUP="vboxusers" I am not sure if this is ok, from security point of view also I am no sure how strict are openSUSE rules in this case ... thanks Reproducible: Always -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
