The common user error is this case is adding themselves to the group and then attempting the operations without logging out and back in. So.,.. "have you tried turning it off and on again?" Andreas

I don't have it clear what you finally did. An update? I updated one day ago, but I am on Leap, not TW. So I don't know if whatever got corrected on TW has been done to Leap. I will read: Bug 1222186 - VirtualBox not allowed to access USB devices although user is in vboxusers group https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1222186 and see if there is something there I can do (not now, I have to do real life things). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

There is a better description of what was done in the bug. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1222186#c20 On Fri, Apr 19, 2024 at 4:22 PM Carlos E. R. <robin.listas@telefonica.net> wrote:
