hi folks, as you might know, since virtualbox 4.0.0 "usb guest support" feature is now open source code, but during tests i found the problem : virtualbox needs full access to usb nodes, which of course, could lead to serious security problem (see bnc#664520 for details) - this means that (currently) virtualbox (provided by suse) doesn't have usb guest support enabled, by default as a workaround I added comment with two udev lines, which creates usb nodes in /dev/vboxusb/ dir with r/w access for vboxusers group (which feeds the virtualbox's needs), so after enabling these two lines (in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules) , your attached usb devices will be available also in virtualized guest system, but please keep in mind this could be real security problem ! JFYI how Oracle's virtualbox rpm deal with this situation (unacceptable due to possible security issue - basically they do the same as we with our two line comment in .rules file): - in post install of specfile : udev rule is added, http://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/Installer/linux/rpm/Virtual... - this udev rule is triggered if usb device is added/removed - and it call VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh script http://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/Installer/linux/VBoxCreateU... - VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh (build /dev/vboxusb dir with usb devices and grand acces to $group) || (destroy /dev/vboxusb device) bye -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
