Unfortunately, Windows didn't see the camera's SD card that was attached via a USB adapter. Some googling showed that USB support in VirtualBox is broken in Gutsy. Here are the steps to get it working:
- Edit
/etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
asroot
, then activate the commented lines for making /proc/bus/usb work: - Save the file and run the script via
sudo /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh
- Edit
/etc/fstab
asroot
and add a line:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=XXXX,devmode=664 0 0
where XXXX is the gid for groupvboxusers
as defined in/etc/group
- Save the file, then activate the changed configuration via
sudo mount -a
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
When you start VirtualBox now, a USB controller can be activated in the settings for each virtual machine.
