Greetings fellow listers. I am encountering a vexing problem with the current 64-bit version of Sun's VirtualBox(2.1.4r42893) on openSUSE 11.0. I've noticed that I cannot mount USB devices in a Windows XP guest, even though everything seems to be configured correctly: USB and USBEHCI are enabled in the xVM Manager application. usbfs entry added to /etc/fstab to allow group access to USB bus. No USB filters are applied. users have been added to the vboxusers group and USB drives show up in /dev/bus/usb as belonging to that group - so the usbfs line in fstab must be working. When the Windows guest is started, mousing-over the USB icon indicates that no devices are attached, but right-clicking on the icon shows the name of the device in grayed text - so I know it knows it's there, but it will not mount in the Windows guest. opening a shell and typing: "VBoxManage list usbhost" indicates that the USB device is there, but its current state is listed as: Unavailable. Now, the problem: What can I do to make the device available, as I assume that doing so will allow it to mount in the Windows guest? aTdHvAaNnKcSe -- JAY VOLLMER -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
