I have read the contribution from Steve Hofmann edited in Sept. 2007 regarding difficulties in bringing up
USB devices in VirtualBox.
I tried, what he suggested, but without effect until I changed "devgid=XXX" to the individual group number
and devmod=664 to 666 and it worked, no matter, wether the USB device was shown on der Ubuntu-desktop or ejected from them. Perhaps this explanation may help some users.
