2007-10-11 14:22:43 OrthoDoc description After upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy, virtual box unable to recognise USB devices. I used virtualbox to install Win XP. This is the error report I got: Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer. Result Code: 0x80004005 Component: Host Interface: IHost {81729c26-1aec-46f5-b7c0-cc7364738fdb} Callee: IMachine {31f7169f-14da-4c55-8cb6-a3665186e35e} This is the virtualbox log report: 00:00:00.466 VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED)} aPreserve=false 00:00:00.492 Power up failed (vrc=VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED, hrc=0x80004005) I found the solution to it as well at <a href="http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/747">this place</a>! Since usbfs is not activated by default in gutsy I consider it a bug. For those of who have already upgraded: Please open the following file: /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh Find the following lines: #mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs #domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644 #ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices #mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb Unmark them so that look like this: mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644 ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb Restart and your usb devices will be recognised.
