I found the problem…

Im my permission rules:
LABEL=”usb_serial_start”
ATTRS{idVendor}==”0403″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”6001″, \
,GROUP=”vboxusers”, MODE=”0660″, GROUP=”dialout”
LABEL=”usb_serial_end”

the line,GROUP=”vboxusers” wasnt there.

I copy & paste , restart the VB and works fine

Thanks again for the help

I’m sorry I couldn’t reply back immediately. I don’t surf during the weekends generally.

It’s weird that you don’t have that file. Make sure the path and filename are right. If there is nothing, try adding those lines and see if it works.

mountdevsubfs,sg,(/etc/init.d) – gedit.

Edson,

Did you edit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh? If not edit the file. Open a terminal, type sudo gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh. Once the file is opened, you’ll see
#
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
#mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#domount 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

Uncomment the lines and make it look like
#
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
domount 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

Save the file and exit. Reboot Ubuntu and check if it’s working.

SDaniel

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules
And change this:
SUBSYSTEM==�usb_device�, MODE=�0664�
For this:
SUBSYSTEM==�usb_device�, MODE=�0666�

Then:
sudo /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh start

Thanks for the Tip it worked great!!!

I am using version 1.6
