Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: Udate on VirtualBox usb problem

You need to be running the PUEL version directly from VirtualBox.org. The
OSE version in the repositories does not support usb. If you are already
running PUEL then I would remove and re-install. You may have to re-boot to
get it to work as modules are loaded before the GUI starts. Re-installing
should not affect the virtual machines, at least it hasn't for me. My
machines are years old and I have done countless re-installs and even
replaced two computers in that time.
