Virtualbox - No USB - any of the solutions provided seems to work for me.

Hi all,

I'm getting this:

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_FAILURE (0x00004005) Component: Host Interface: IHost {489fb370-c227-4d43-9761-ceb28484fd9f} Callee: IMachine {1e509de4-d96c-4f44-8b94-860194f710ac}

Here,

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

I already have added a line to the bottom with this:

none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1001,devmode=666 0 0

The other solution that I've seen: sudo gedit /etc/init.d/ mountdevsubfs.sh

I cannot apply since my file is very different and as not any #magic comment or something.

Can anyone help me put the usb to work on the guest machine?

Thanks in advance, MEM

What version are you using? You need the closed-source PUEL version of VB and not OSE? Dedoimedo

ow... :(

So the OpenSource edition does not work?

:s

thanks

Ok. It's free for personal use. How can we install that version then? Should I remove this one?

Yes I need. Well, do I need to change all this just because of a USB? Hmm...

I will search if there is some solutions about ope and usb on guest.

Thanks a lot. I was having no idea that they where two versions of it.

Regards, MEM

Ups.

Actually I'm on a PUEL version. :( what should I do?

Did you install the guest addons in the virtual machine? Dedoimedo

Yes.

:(
