:confused:

very

Ok where do we start
, machine is a celeron 4 with a gig of ram ,

installed with Ubuntu 8.04

virtual box ( from repository ) installed as with guest additions and have given permissions.

I have installed PClinux as a guest machine ( the one run by vb)

now I can get a usb bridge to show up, but I cant get any usb devices to show , or mount

can someone show up where /how to do this

Have been to community docs , but I was confused about what to type where ..

when I try to enable the usb devices in the virtual machine, i get device busy , and umounting them didnt change anything


Kind regards Stephen

error message cut and pasted from pclinux ..so somethings working!



Not permitted to open the USB device, check usbfs options.


Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}


now I have googled and search , I have edited my Fstab, etc ... The best I got was it locked up the mouse , ie took charge of the usb mouse ...
