[SOLVED] empty mountdevsubfs.sh??!!

[A-dogg]

I'm trying to enable usb support in vbox and I opened my mountdevsubfs.sh file to edit it...

it's empty!

can someone post (or tell me where to get) the original file? seems like it may have gotten erased somehow...

much thanks!!!!

Here is my /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh (make sure you have this name exactly right):

Hello there,

I might come a bite late ... hope you still check that thread !!
I had the same problem as A-dogg, and copy past the code ... but usb controller is still not working.

By the way, my host OS is Ubuntu 9.10 and my guest one is XP ... any idea to make the usb recognized in my guest ??

Thanks in advance,
Gullien

How about Ubuntu 10.04 x86-64?
Will the script work for this distro too?
