Hello, there seems to be a compatibility bug in the VBox USB drivers. 3.0.6 and 3.0.8 and both end in the same scenario. I try to assign my webcam (CAM44U) from a. Windows 7 doesn't recognize automatically the needed drivers. I then mapped it to a huge resource of drivers I have and it recognized it as Intel(R)USB3.0eXtensibleHostControllerDriver I was installed successfully and then I got unidentified driver for the USB 3 hub. Tried to install that from the same intel package and I got a blue screen.

I'm using Ubuntu Maverick and Virtual Box 3+. I have Windows 7 Ultimate. The problem is that it doesn't detect USB drives in Windows 7, but USB peripherals (mouse + keybord) are working.
I followed these instructions, but I can't find the user group
TheWanderervboxusers
. How can I continue? I would also like to upgrade to the latest version without any risk (without losing my virtual hard disk drive).16.5k1111 gold badges3939 silver badges6060 bronze badges

1. Install Extension Pack

USB 1.0 is supported in the version installed from the Ubuntu repositories (from VirtualBox > 4.x).
Full Credits to him for developing this ROM for Symphony i10. Now you can enjoy the latest baked iOS ROM for Symphony i10 just by flashing the build given below.In this post he has mentioned clearly that, this is a iOS stock ROM crossported to Symphony i10. In this post you are allowed to break the rules by flashing the iOS Custom ROM on Symphony i10. Download ios 11 rom. Now you can simply follow this guide to install the latest iOS ROM for Symphony i10. We had already shared the.
For USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 we need to install the free (but closed source) VirtualBox Extension Pack (NOT the 'platform packages') from the VirtualBox download page. If you had installed VirtualBox from the repositories you have to make sure to choose the extension pack for the right version of VirtualBox. You can see the version of your installed VirtualBox in the
help > About VirtualBox
menu. For regular updates and bugfixes it is recommended to install the most recent VirtualBox version from the Oracle repository.All virtual machines need to be powered off before installing the extension.
2. Become a 'vboxuser'
To be able to get access to an attached USB device, the Ubuntu host user needs to be in the
vboxusers
group. Add your user to this group by running the following commandand reboot or logout/login.
3. Activate USB support in VirtualBox Manager
Shut down your virtual machine and open USB settings in the VirtualBox Manager. Tick
Enable USB Controller
and USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller
or USB 3.0 (xHCI) Controller
.If these settings are greyed out, you need to shut down the virtual machine.
4. Select host USB device for access from the guest
To grant access to USB devices we need to select a device to disable in the host and to enable in the guest (this is a precaution to avoid simultaneous access from host and guest). This can be done from the panel Devices menu or by right mouse click in the bottom panel of the VirtualBox Manager on the USB icon:
Tick the device you need in the guest, untick it if you need it in the host. If you can't see your USB device in that list, it means that VirtualBox cannot access your host USB devices. Make sure your user is added to the
vboxusers
group and that you restarted your host.The selected device will immediately be accessible from the guest. A Windows guest may need additional drivers.
- Windows 7 needs an additional driver for USB 3.0 support.
- Windows 10 does not accept an NTFS formatted USB pen drive.
[optional] Use USB filters for permanent access in the guest
By defining USB filters we can define USB devices that will automatically be presented to the guest when booting the guest OS.
Click on the green + symbol on the right to add a known device.
Note, that some devices may lead to a boot failure of the guest. We can not use these devices for filters.
Read more on USB support in the VirtualBox User Manual.

The
vboxusers
will be in the /etc/group
file. You edit it with something like nano
. sudo nano /etc/group
Add your user to the
vboxusers
line, or create one if necessary.As Takkat has pointed out, to get full USB device support, you'll need to install the full version of Virtualbox (not the OSE).
The ppa I have for the 'official' virtualbox is here:

I had the same problem. After trying all the other solutions I realised my problem.
I had downloaded virtualbox from the Ubuntu Software Center, which didn't have the latest version of virtualbox, so I had accidently downloaded the wrong version of 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack'.
Solution:
- open virtualbox, click help, click about, find your virtualbox version number.
- Goto https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_4_3 (replace '4_3' with your version).
- Download the 'Extension Pack' that matches your virtualbox version.
- Install that, and it might ask you if you would like to downgrade, click yes.
Worked for me anyway.

In Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, after the initial install with
I also had to:
Then I could enable USB 2/3 support in the machine settings.
What the
virtualbox-ext-pack
actually does, is download the required files from http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox and prompt you to accept the license before installing.mivkmivk
I had the same problem and fixed it by clicking in the VirtualBox group of my user. You can access it installing gnome-system-tools (it does not come with Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin), either via the Ubuntu Software Center, Synaptic or by typing in the terminal:
Remember that to paste in the terminal you have to use Ctrl+Shift+V, as opposed to Ctrl+V.
You will probably have to enter your password to allow the installation and add a Y (as in yes) to finish installing the packages.
Then you head to your Dash home and type users. You will see two applications. The good one is Users and Groups.
You then have to click on Advanced settings for your user and enter your password.
Now you will be shown a window with three tabs. Click on User Privileges. Find the line that says Use Virtualbox virtualization solution and then OK.
You may be asked to enter your password again. Then click on Close and log-out and log-in again.
Virtualbox Usb Driver
When you start VirtualBox, you should see a whole bunch of new USB devices.
Good luck!

If you can list your USB devices being root, but not as a regular user (despite being in the group vboxusers), it may be related to a reached limit of monitored files.
You need to increase the maximum number of files your programs are allowed to monitor (inotify). If you have a client that synchronizes your files (dropbox, seafile, etc.), the limit can be reached and the USB devices cannot be listed. It is reported as a bug issue here.
Edit /etc/sysctl.conf and increase the limit to 524288. it can be done as mentioned here, like this:
The USB devices should appear doing (as a user or root):

My solution was the following:
- Power off virtual machine
- Download the right extension pack
- Install extension pack
- Start virtual machine, put in Virtualbox guest additions and install them. If already installed, repeat the installation
- Shut down virtual machine
- Go to Settings>USB as shown in the images above and enable USB
- Boot virtual machine
If not working, restart your whole host system and try again. Worked fine for me.Watch out: At the first boot of the guest system after installing the guest additions, you will see all usb devices to choose, but it can take up to 10 minutes until the Windows guest activates them after you checked them. Just wait patiently.

For me on Kubuntu 16.04 (with virtualbox 5.0.24-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.1 installed via
apt
) I had used VirtualBox before with USB passthrough working. However, I was no longer part of the virtualbox group (checked with cat /etc/group | grep vboxusers
) and so used kdesudo kuser
to add myself (can be done with sudo usermod -a -G virtualbox $USER
too). I then needed to logout and back in again to use the new group listings and authorise my access.
Now when doing
VboxManage list usbhost
it returns the usb devices instead of just 'none'; also in the settings on VirtualBox I can choose connected USB devices to passthrough to the virtual OS. Yay!pbhjpbhj
