By default USB support was disabled in virtualbox, so youll probably want to enable it. Otherwise youll get an error when you go into the Settings of your virtual machine. To correct this, Step 1: Type "getent group vboxusers" in a terminal window and copy the "gid" "xxx" Step 2.a: Type "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" To Edit the fstab and give permission to the vboxusers group for USB. 2.b: Add "none /sys/bus/usb/drivers usbfs devgid=xxx,devmode=664 0 0" to the fstab where "xxx" is your gid. Step 3. Enable USB 2.0 in the settings of your VM.
