When you get this error from your Virtual Box; | Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer. | No worries, here some more summarized on how to enable USB to your Virual Box I use Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon), with running xVM VirtualBox Ver 1.6.2 if you don't have this just click here to download Now you have a running Virtual Box, I installed Windows XP Pro, and here are the instructions to enable USB;
1. Create a group named 'vboxusers' System -> Administration -> Users and Groups then click on Manage Groups then click Add Group I just add two users root and me my self 2. Modify the usbfs by uncomment the lines | kutch@dorkbox:~$ sudo vi /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh then uncomment this line, it should look like this; # Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
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 Original line: # Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
#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/us |
3. Add the group vboxuser to access the permission rules of device | kutch@dorkbox:~$ sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules # USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM==”usb_device”, GROUP=”vboxusers”, MODE=”0664″ Original line: # USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664" | 4. On your installed OS in Virtualbox Click on settings then go to USB then click on Add Filter you will see the connected USB Device you want to add
