[Ubuntu-PH] USB on Virtualbox

[GOvvin]

>From their FAQ <http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/User_FAQ>:

   - *USB on Ubuntu/Gutsy*: Ubuntu removed support for /proc/bus/usb/*. We
   will address this issue in the future. Until this, edit the script
   `/etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh and activate the four lines around line 40
   (Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work). Then execute

   /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh start

   From now on, there should be a directory /proc/bus/usb/ and the device
   entries below should be accessible by any user.


   - *USB on Ubuntu/Intrepid*: Finally, the Ubuntu guys completely removed
   these lines. So you have to manually add them again:

   mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
   domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs usbfs
-obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
   ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
   mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb

   Add these lines to at the end of the start() function of
   /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh.
   Note that the *udev permissions* for the USB devices are still used. For
   instance, to access a USB disk you have to be member of the group disk.
   Execute

   /bin/ls -l /proc/bus/usb/*/*

   and check if you have *write access* to all desired USB devices.

   If you want to make all USB devices available for users member of the
   vboxusers group, apply the proposed change for *USB on openSUSE*.
