virtualbox 2.0.0 on arch -- USB error
hello,
trying to install virtualbox 2.0.0 (puel) from sun's site. everything proceeds fine, but then when i am ready to begin installing XP, i first look at "preferences" in the file menu and the following error pops up:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Failed to access the USB system.
Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer.
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x00004005)
Component:
Host
Interface:
IHost {489fb370-c227-4d43-9761-ceb28484fd9f}
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
note that i am able to mount and use USB devices on the linux side with no issues. i have not created a group for usb nor added anything to /etc/fstab for usb by hand.
does anyone know how to work around this?

Re: virtualbox 2.0.0 on arch -- USB error
just put that line in /etc/fstab and run mount -a
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,busgid=108,busmode=0775,devgid=108,devmode=0664 0 0
btw. next time use virtualbox_bin from aur and let pacman managed files.

Re: virtualbox 2.0.0 on arch -- USB error
thanks, that worked as stated.
btw, i looked in AUR yesterday but didn't see anything for virtualbox 2.0.0. i must have missed it as there is a (popular evidently) package there with designation 2.0.0-2. would installing the AUR version via pacman have put the line in fstab? since i haven't even installed xp yet i can always remove the package and reinstall from aur...

He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.
