    [SOLVED] How to enable usb in VirtualBox

    I can see my IPOD under "Device" in VirtualBox(VB). However, when I try to connect, I get error message as per attachment. I'm still searching for the solution but if anybody already know it, please share with me. I was following http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008...rdy-heron.html. So far I has edited /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh.

    There is no attachment.

    I followed similar, but alos had to add this to my fstab

    none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=124,devmode=664 0 0

    where 124 is my vbox usergroup

    Did you reboot?

    You also have to edit the usb details to add the device, plug it in go to vbox settings - usb - one of the icons on the left of the USB panel allows you to add the usb. Maybe that - although I've never tried with an ipod as I don't have any.

    I assume that you have installed whatever special software that iPods require for connection, and that you are using the full version of VirtualBox rather than the open-source edition?

    Just checking.
