USB Fix for VirtualBox on Ubuntu 8.04 & Fedora 9

Ubuntu 8.04

sudo vi /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh

原本:

#
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
#mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#omount 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

改成:

#
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
omount 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

sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules

原本:

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664"

改成:

# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664", GROUP="vboxusers"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664", GROUP="vboxusers"

sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart

# vi /etc/fstab

#加入以下內容
#其中, devgid 501 係對應到 vboxusers 群組的 uid
none    /sys/bus/usb/drivers    usbfs    devgid=501,devmode=664    0 0
