Re: [LINUX_Newbies] USB on Virturalbox 4

You are sure that they are enabled in the settings? I am running VB 4.x PUEL
and usb works fine. You might try for a re-installation if it does not
resolve itself. If you have lots of HD space you can rename your .VirtualBox
folder and completely removing VirtualBox. Then re-install and copy back
your VMs. I am scratching my head on this one.
