Hi,
As the title says, I am looking for a virtualbox, under lenny, that sees the
usb devices. So virtualbox-ose does not fit my requirement. Any idea what I
can use instead?
Thanks
Thierry

Go to virtualbox.org and look for the debian repo details there. They
have their own repo


My vitualbox.list
# Virtual Box repo
# http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

# wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc
# -O- | sudo apt-key add -

I haven't tried this, but it looks pretty useful:

http://usbip.sourceforge.net/

Looks like there's a package for it in squeeze.

Hi,

I created my VirtualBox VM using the script from
http://www.halfdog.net/Misc/TipsAndTricks/VirtualBox.html

in which it adds USB support like this:

# Add usb if needed
vboxmanage modifyvm "${_setup_vboxName}" --usb on --usbehci on

However, when I plug in an USB key in host, the VirtualBox VM guest
doesn't see the USB key.

What's the right way to config VirtualBox VM so that USB key in host can
be accessed from within VM?

Thanks

If you are using the GUI, check the appropriate box in the Settings panel.

Otherwise Google suggests several sites that illustrate it, such as this
one:


http://richardhorwood.com/108/virtualbox-usb-from-the-command-line/

Wait: Have you installed the OSE version, or the closed source version?
You may need to also install the "Extension Pack". The USB
functionality is in there.The Extension Pack also has RDP and network boot.


Also, you really should try to install the "Guest Additions" if you
haven't already.

With the version I use, in the VB "launcher" there is a setup option for the
usb. Each new device (not port) that I want the guest to recognize has to be
defined in the config. It used to be very difficult to do, now it is much easier.
Have you defined the devices?

Thanks Mark, that is really a comprehensive answer.
Really appreciate it.
