#1796 obsolete USB devices greyed out lid
Description

I'm trying to connected a USB gamepad directly to the Guest. I am running a Mac OS X (10.5.3) host and Ubuntu 8.04 Guest. However, while the USB controller is enabled, the device is greyed out in the menu. It's not clear why it's greyed out. I have tried also to add a filter for the device, but that hasn't made a difference.

#1797 fixed won't open host network interface => change TAP group setting Andrew Schulman
Description

I have the dreaded "Failed to open host network interface" problem. I'm using Host Interface networking on a Linux host (Debian AMD64, custom 2.6.24 kernel), with a tap device named vbox0 bridged to lan:

$ brctl show lan
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
lan             8000.00161711ac84       no              lan0
                                                        vbox0

When user andrex tries to start the VM, it fails with the following VBox.log:

00:00:15.216 VirtualBox 1.6.2 r31466 linux.amd64 (May 31 2008 17:30:23) release log

andrex is a member of the group vboxusers, which has read/write permission on /dev/net/tun:

$ ll /dev/net
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root vboxusers 10, 200 2008-06-15 14:52 tun

A few other data points:

  • I tried chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun, but it didn't help.
  • root can run this VM, but no other users can AFAICT. So it sure seems like a permission problem, but permissions on interfaces and bridges are hard to debug since they apparently only live in kernel memory. syslog and kern.log provide no useful information.
  • This VM used to work fine with the same configuration. I upgraded my kernel a few weeks ago, and probably upgraded some system tools around the same time, and now I can't get past this problem.

Any help would be much appreciated, as I'm currently dead in the water with this VM. NAT networking isn't an option because it doesn't allow me to read Samba shares.

Thanks, Andrew.
