I've googled and tried many things, but none work. # mount|grep usb usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devgid=46,devmode=664,) /dev/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type none (rw,bind) Appreciate any suggestions. VirtualBox 2.0.6 and previous versions all affected.
message: Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) The service might be not installed on the host computer. Result Code: NS_ERROR (0x00004005) Component: Host etc.
lsusb on the running VM shows the 2 hubs with the same vendor:poduct ID's.

/etc/fstab now reads none /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,busgid=1000,busmode=0775,devgid=1000,devmode=0664 0 0 OK, I eventually found out that VirtualBox-OSE does not support USB. I downloaded the xVM version from Sun VirtualBox-2.1.0_41146_openSUSE11-1.x86_64.rpm and installed it on 4 boxes at 11.2 Alpha0. All the USB devices are available to the VM's and I can now print to the USB printers on this host from any VM on other hosts. One other improvement is that the local network is also available, selecting eth0, I get an IP address via DHCP, so each VM is treated as just another box on the local network, no messing with bridging or tunnelling. Great work from Sun on this product since the purchase - I think VMWare in short order has a serious competitor here. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
