11.04 Natty – VirtualBox 4.0 Error “Failed to access the USB subsystem”
Fix from Ubuntu for Beginners!
Issue: User Privileges don’t get assigned correctly.
Open ‘Users and groups’.
Click ‘Manage Groups’ and look for the ‘vboxusers’ group.
Click properties.
Enable your account and reboot.
That fixed it for me but you may need this as well:
Users and Groups main window, click your username and then click ‘Advanced Settings’.
Go to the ‘User Privileges’ tab and scroll down to the bottom where you see this option.
Use VirtualBox virtualization solution
Make sure it is enabled. A reboot would be enough to make the error disappear now.
Note: Ubuntu Virtualbox Error Message On Guest Start?
This is a conflict with KVM!
Each time you log on to Ubuntu run this command:
sudo stop qemu-kvm
Note: Ubuntu Lucid Virtualbox USB Devices Greyed Out
This is a permissions issue!
System > Administration > Users and Groups >
Select your UID… e.g “silverwave”
Click Button “Manage Groups”
Select “vboxusers” click Button “Properties”.
Tick the box next to your UID.
IMPORTANT!
Doesn’t work until you reboot.
Note if you don’t see any USB Devices create a blank filter for you USB’s via settings.
