Small t like to get something that most people do not play, so I chose Linux, and small T also liked popularity, so I chose ubuntu. Although Ubuntu can listen to songs, watch movies, and browse webpages, it still cannot do XP work. This is actually a Technical Monopoly and has nothing to do with Linux. As a member of the masses, you only have to choose to compromise. Use a virtual machine.

However, after using virtualbox, the small t found the problem again, that is, the USB device is not available, and even the USB option is not available on the device. Why? Originally, the Ubuntu software center could only provide open-source support, while the OSD version does not support USB.

Find the Deb package to download, and then download the enhancement package,

Double-click the Deb package to install it (the OSD version needs to be uninstalled first), similar to XP. Then find the USB option in the settings.

Add a new filter, that is, the blue USB icon in the upper right corner. In this case, it is almost the same. However, USB still cannot be used at the first entry, prompting that you do not have the permission. It is not a member of the vboxusersr group. In this case, you need to manage the group. Use the gorupadd user name vboxusers in the terminal. If gnome

System-system management-user and group-Management Group. Enter the password if necessary.

Add the current user to the vboxusers group.
