| #2262 | fixed | USB still no go from non-root account | ||
| Description |
Your latest 2.0.2 on a RHEL 5 current (17 Sept 2008) host with a MS Win XP Pro guest is a big improvement, but USB still does not work properly from a non-root account. USB devices are shown as these are inserted into the hardware and recognised by Linux, but are grey and cannot be attached to the MS Win guest from a non-root account. This feature does work as root. Moreover, you have one dangerous provision: you allow the Linux USB pointing device (e.g., a Logitech track ball) to be disconnected from Linux and thus never reconnected without a lot of editing of configuration files as root from a scrolling screen on a plain terminal (e.g., ctrl-alt-F1). The greyed out check box widget is a permission issue, but you should automatically correct this; the pointing device should not be offered if possible or given either protection or a GUI recovery. Without easy access to USB, I will continue to use VMWare in which all of these work as they should. |

| #2263 | fixed | Some keys on Japanese keyboard are not recoginzed on Solaris host. | ||
| Description |
VirtualBox2.0.0 improved the problem that some keys on localized keyboard are not recognized. However, some keys on Japanese keyboard are not worked correctly on Solaris yet because the meaning of key code is bit different. I tried to test it on OpenSolaris nv_97 with using xev command.
I looked the file under src/VBox/Frontends/VirtualBox4/src/linux/keyboard-types.h and found that these are not correctly mapped. I created the patch for this issue and attached it. Could you please merge it if it is OK? |

| #2264 | fixed | Shared My Documents folder not writable by non-root Linux guest | ||
| Description |
Host: Windows XP Pro SP2, Guest: Xubuntu 8.04
Non-root users can't write to a shared Windows 'My Documents' folder
regardless of the 'uid' and 'gid'. Here's a transcript that
illustrates the problem (the shared folder named
$ ls -ld shared/ $ sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=srackham,gid=srackham mydocs shared
$ ls -ld shared/
$ touch shared/t $ sudo touch shared/t
$ ls shared/t Note how the user write bit on the mounted directory has been turned off so the user can't write but root can. The problem seems to be related to the special properties imbued in the 'My Documents' folder by Windows. Same applies to the Windows 'Shared Documents' folder (`C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents`). |
