USB Scanner help with VirtualBox
Yes, I have tried a post on the VirtualBox forums, but they just don't seem as clever as the people here; and I've found some Virtual Box questions on LinuxQuestions.
The issue with Mandriva 2007.1 (Dell GX260; i586) and VirtualBox 1.5 on guest WinXP: "device not available or already in use". I'm a member of group vboxusers, but I don't know about the usb group. Here is what I received from a usb check, any help would be greatly appreciated: One other possible bit of help, this is what I receive when I try to start VirtualBox with root: [phillip@localhost Desktop]$ VirtualBox Cannot create/open directory '/tmp/.vbox-phillip-ipc/ipcd' Abnormal termination. AND.. I cannot open VirtualBox from the Main Menu, here I get the error: Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object. The application will now terminate.

have a nice day, bye |
I use 1.5 and USB works fine.
I downloaded the user manual from the VirtualBox site and I found the procedure to allow the access to the usb. It's a permission issue. |
