    Re: Proxy error in Virtual box

    lol i just read the thread, i've no idea if this is right, but as no one else is helping try this - you put that stuff in the fstab
    gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
    and add this -
    usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=<something>,devmode=664,nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0

    the something bit is found in /etc/group so you can do
    grep usbusers /etc/group
    and add the number it gives i think.

    Re: Proxy error in Virtual box

    That is likely the problem. Your iPhone may also try to mount on the Linux side. When you attach it, look at your desktop and see if an icon appears for it. If it does, right click and choose "unmount". Also, please give us a break. A lot of people need help right now with the new release. Also, VirtualBox is a difficult thing sometimes that people may not be able to help with.

    Re: Proxy error in Virtual box

    one reason i don't normally help much is i have really bad concentration! i just read this thread again, and if things don't work you can run this instead -
    sudo VBOX=$(grep vboxusers /etc/group | sed 's/vboxusers:x:\(.*\):.*/\1/')
    sudo mount -t usbfs -o devgid=$VBOX,devmode=664,nodev,noexec,nosuid none /proc/bus/usb

    and take the stuff you put in fstab out again -
    gksudo /etc/fstab

    Red face Re: Proxy error in Virtual box

    Hey neither command did anything. The 1st one made an error that VBOX=1001 isn't a command and the other one just skipped and went back to normal.

    Re: Proxy error in Virtual box

    actually maybe run this instead -
    sudo VBOX=$(grep vboxusers /etc/group | sed 's/vboxusers:x:\(.*\):.*/\1/') && mount -t usbfs -o devgid=$VBOX,devmode=664,nodev,noexec,nosuid none /proc/bus/usb

    yeap, that will mount it and get it working, i think it just needed to know where to find it, it was looking in the wrong place.

    Re: Proxy error in Virtual box

    i suppose you need to have your virtaul box running and the usb device plugged in before you run that command
