Ubuntu Linux

I have been trying for the past week to get the USB to work inside VirtualBox. My host OS is Linux (Ubuntu 8.04.1) and the guest OS in WinXP. I’m running VirtualBox v2.04. I’m pretty certain I downloaded this from Sun’s website, so I believe I’m running the version that has USB support. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

1. edit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh and uncommented the lines
below:
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
-obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
mount –rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb

2. Made sure I was added to the vboxusers and usbusers groups.

3. Added the following to /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664"

# USBdevices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="usbusers", MODE="0664"

Here’s partial output from the mount command:

$ mount | grep -i usb
procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devgid=plugdev,devmode=664)

Output from groups command:

~$ groups
users adm cdrom floppy audio video plugdev scanner fuse lpadmin vboxusers usbfs usbusers

In VirtualBox itself, I have both checkboxes checked under USB (Enable USB Controller and Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller.

I’ve rebooted each time I made a change, and I’ve had NO luck getting the USB to work within WinXP (which is running as the Guest OS).

I feel like Peter in Office Space. "I gotta get out of here. I think I’m gonna lose it." hahaha Please help me before I lose it. :lolflag:
