USB does not work on 64bits Guests

Description

Hi I have on the same computer, separate partitions:

  • a Fedora 25 Server 32 bits
  • a Fedora 27 Server 64 bits

each of them as the 5.2.2 VB, same build 119230, first in 32 bits, the other one 64.

They share (obviously not at the same time) the same VM's situated in a third partition.

The 32 bits one works perfectly ans shows the usb devices available. On the 64 bits one, impossible to have USB ports working, they don't even show up in the menu.

Replying to renouvo09:

they don't even show up in the menu.

Then something is wrong in your setup. Are you a member of the 'vboxusers' group? Did you reboot after such membership? Please read the following thread: USB basics and troubleshooting, all of the posts.

You're absolutely right. My user wasn't in the vboxusers group.

I'm wondering because it never happened before with any Fedora distro and I don't remember having added an user to this group by hand. I can also think wrong.

Thanks a lot anyway!

No problem.

Ticket can be closed as "WorksForMe" (I guess...).
