LivingIT

Under Ubuntu Karmic it looks like this….

First of all you open a terminal [alt]+[f2] xterm

Then you type in following command to make your user member of the vboxusers group:

 if [ "`grep vboxusers /etc/group|grep $USER`" == "" ] ; then sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a $USER ; fi

Afterwards you get the groupid of the vboxusergroup by typing this command

 grep vbox /etc/group

The result should look like

vboxusers:x:125:yourusername

In this example 125 is the Group Id

After this step you open the file /etc/fstab

 sudo gedit /etc/fstab

And add the following line to the bottom of the file

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

Groupid is standing for 125 in this example. It is the number of the command you entered before.

After all you restart your computer and you can enjoy the USB Feature of VBOX now.

Today I decided to blog about all the problems a linux user like me can have… though I start with my first blog afterwards

Greets

Hey guys out there. I’m glad that you’re visiting my blog.

LivingIT should become a blog which deals with actual software, maybe some manuals for certain actions, with security risk.

So guys it’s worth to visit my blog sometimes, maybe there are some new articles who knows.

I’ll start tomorrow with my first one.

See you there

Stefan
