Virtual machines I have been using, not to say, windows, but sometimes some applications in the Windows experience is really better, such as Tencent QQ.

I recently found my missing long 10moons revolver camera, which I bought in Zhongguancun when I was studying in Beijing. It cost me 100 yuan.

Found after very feeling, so I intend to give my virtual machine inside QQ use up.

As is known to all, VirtualBox uses a host USB device to install an expansion pack. According to your own version of VBox, download the corresponding expansion pack to the VBox website.

For example, my vbox is 4.1.12, the corresponding expansion pack address is:
Http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... ox-extpack

After downloading, in the "Manage" menu under "Global Settings" under the "Extensions" tab, add, Enable.




After that, open the virtual system settings, under the "USB Devices" tab, tick the "Enable USB controller" and "2.0 controller" to increase support for USB2.0.




It's supposed to be done by this time. However, there are no USB devices in the USB list. What is this for? Google a bit, found an article (the specific address has been unable to recall, embarrassed), explained the reason.

It turns out to be the user group where the vbox is, such as to include the current user.

To view the current user name:
[Email protected]:~$ whoami
Sharl

To view the group in which VBox is located:
[Email protected]:~$ cat/etc/group | grep VBox
Vboxusers:x:125:sharl

To join the current user to the VBox group:
Usermod-a-G vboxusers Sharl

Can.

At this point, restart the system. Turn on the virtual machine again, and sure enough, the USB device has been identified and accessed.
These can be seen under the "Devices" menu.




After adding, the virtual machine system found the new hardware, follow the general steps, install the driver can be used normally.

After the installation of the 10moons camera, sure enough to force.




Finish.

Note: This article in the writing and practice of reference to a foreign site an article, due to poor records, the address is currently unknown. Blur remembers the use of "Ubuntu Virtualbox Add USB device" and other keywords.
