Latest Virtualbox doesn't detect USB devices

hi arslan,

all previous versions ran just perfect for me, but i don't have luck with the 4.0.8, although i followed your advices.

i use your newest tc-updates of virtualbox and oracle's extensions.
i installed the oracle's extension pack without any errors and the started virtualmachine shows the usb-info-ballon with the message that no usb-devices are attached (there are two usb-sticks inserted).
without the extension pack no usb-message-window appears.

... so probably the usb-system of the tinycore-host offers not the right permissions for the virtualmachine?

thanks for your help.

Trying to install the extension pack I get:

/home/tc/downloads# sudo VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Ext
ension_Pack-4.0.8-71778.vbox-extpack
0%...
Progress state: NS_ERROR_FAILURE
VBoxManage: error: Failed to install "/home/tc/downloads/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.0.8-71778.vbox-extpack": The installer failed with exit code 1: VBoxExtPackHelperApp: error: The owner is not root: '/usr'

Should I change permissions for something?

/U

netnomad:
the last update works fine!
is there a way to install the extension-pack per script, when i load virtualbox ondemand?
is it possible to put it in the dep-file?

there is a further inconveniece:
if i start virtualbox without the extension-pack, and start a win-machine on the tc-host, the usb-devices are detected, but not to use.
after the installation of the extension-pack, new inserted usb-sticks are not refreshed or hotplugged that i can mount them.

so i see the only way:
after booting tinycore the extension-pack has to be installed before i start the virtual-machine.

thanks for your help.

Arslan S.:
oracle extension pack can be tcz extension but only if license permits

also isn't it enough to install extension pack once every vbox update ?

Edit: the answer is no, see #7
