Re: [LINUX_Newbies] USB on Virturalbox 4

Okay. Then got to the Settings for your VM in VirtualBox and go to the usb
tab and make sure that Enable USB Controller is checked. If that is the case
then you should be able to control usb devices from the running VM by
checking then either on the bottom right of the Status bar or by Devices on
the top menu, USB Devices. Once checked they will be available in your guest
OS and not in the host OS. The exception to this would be something that
would not show because you do not have a Linux driver for the host so it
can't be made available in the guest. I can't think of an example of this
because Linux has so many drivers now, but theoretically it is possible.
