I am running 11.1 with Vbox from Sun. I would like to get access to a usb mem stick when running XP home in Vbox. I did set the filter, and checked the mem stick in the config but when in XP it is greyed out, not sure what to try next. Tnx, Mike. -- 2.6.27.45-0.1-default GNU/Linux -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You must have the closed source version from Sun. The Open Source Edition (OSE) does not have USB support. In some forum I read that it is much more reliable to mount the USB device after boot from the slide up menu.

Could you try the same with 11.2? For 11.1 you have to add/change some udev rule. My /etc/udev/rules.d/10-vboxdrv.rules looks like this: KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0600" SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0664" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE:="0664" The important part is the ':' in MODE:="0664" of the last rule. ^ HTH Jan -- There is no heavier burden than a great potential. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

My udev rule is the same, I do not remember changing it but I may have. I have not tried to use usb devices until now. The kb and mouse work fine and are greyed out also. from mount: udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) /dev/sdb1 on /media/USB Disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,utf8) Thanks, Mike. -- 2.6.27.45-0.1-default GNU/Linux -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Let's try another one: | 2009-09-14 16:33:42 changed by frank | | The problem on OpenSUSE is that /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules | overrides any USB rule of VBox. To fix this you should rename | /etc/udev/rules.d/10-vboxdrv.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-vboxdrv.rules. | Then unplug + replug a USB device and try to access it from VBox. http://www.virtualbox.de/ticket/3394
from mount: udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) /dev/sdb1 on /media/USB Disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,utf8)
You should un-mount the devices before attaching them to a guest! Gruß Jan -- You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This worked like a charm. Thanks very much. Mike.
