| | 4 | This is how I resolved my VirtualBox USB issues on FC6 which uses udev, not usbfs. |
| | 5 | - Decide what group usb devices will be in and add yourself to that group. I chose usb (if you choose something else, be sure to update the chgrp commands below). |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | - Add /etc/udev/rules.d/51-usb-group.rules: |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | {{{ |
| | 10 | SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", RUN="/etc/udev/scripts/set-usb-group '%c'" |
| | 11 | }}} |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | - Add /etc/udev/scripts/set-usb-group: |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | {{{ |
| | 16 | #! /bin/sh |
| | 17 | ret=false if [ "$1" != "" ]; then |
| | 18 | if [ -f /proc/$1 ]; then |
| | 19 | chgrp usb /proc/$1 && \ chmod g+rw /proc/$1 && \ logger udev/set-usb-group: ls -l /proc/$1 ret=true |
| | 20 | fi |
| | 21 | if [ -e /dev/$1 ]; then |
| | 22 | chgrp usb /dev/$1 && \ chmod g+rw /dev/$1 && \ logger udev/set-usb-group: ls -l /dev/$1 ret=true |
| | 23 | fi |
| | 24 | else |
| | 25 | logger udev/set-usb-group: Called without device arg exit 0 |
| | 26 | fi |
| | 27 | if ! $ret; then |
| | 28 | logger udev/set-usb-group: Setting permissions on device $1 failed |
| | 29 | fi |
| | 30 | }}} |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | - Reboot |
| | 33 | |
| | 34 | - Revel in how much faster VirtualBox is than VMPlayer. |
