create a group called usb with gid 85
add yourself into group usb
add the following line in /etc/fstab:

none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=85,devmode=664 0 0

type in the following in the terminal:

sudo mount /proc/bus/usb

logout and login again
you should be able to use usb in virtualbox now

I have the same problem. I gooogled the internet and I found that VBox supposed to have USB support as of version 2.4??

Furthermore what do you mean with gld 85?? - you said "create a group called usb with gld 85"

kind regards
