apparent permission problem with USB devices
I've got problems with adding USB devices in virtualbox when it's started as user. Starting it as root seems to work fine but when I start it as user, I get:
$ VBoxManage list usbhost
Host USB Devices:
<none>
Where as root I get:
$ sudo VBoxManage list usbhost
Host USB Devices:
UUID: 4483e9b4-ab99-45ff-ad5c-32b8c61971b9
VendorId: 0x058f (058F)
ProductId: 0x6362 (6362)
Revision: 1.0 (0100)
Port: 0
USB version/speed: 2/High
Manufacturer: Generic
Product: Mass Storage Device
SerialNumber: 058F63626420
Address: sysfs:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.1//device:/dev/vboxusb/001/003
Current State: Busy
...
...
which results as <no devices available> in the virtiualbox UI (when started as user)
I've added my user to the vboxusers group (and logged out & rebooted since multiple times):
$ groups ron
ron : ron sudo netdev vboxusers wireshark docker
I'm not exactly sure how to interpret the below info though:
$ id
uid=1001(ron) gid=1001(ron) groups=1001(ron)
I'm running the version: virtualbox-6.0_6.0.0-127566_Ubuntu_xenial_amd64.deb I downloaded from the virtualbox.org website. (I installed it with on top of the one I installed with apt from deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian xenial contrib)
My host is running xenial and my guest is Windows 10
permissions virtualbox usb-device
