Vbox usb error[SOLVED]

I get this when launching vbox.

Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer.

Component: 
Host
Interface: 
IHost {81729c26-1aec-46f5-b7c0-cc7364738fdb}

Re: Vbox usb error[SOLVED]

there isn't a problem with archlinux. is a problem with virtualbox because kernel 2.6.25 drop  support for /proc/bus/usb and now is under /dev/bus/usb .virtualbox need to fix that problem to complain with kernel

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Tried v. 1.6.2? Released today and probably corrects the issue.

Re: Vbox usb error[SOLVED]

The only fix I can find doesn't work on arch.

The usbfs support has been disable in the gutsy version by default.

It works well after turning it on in the /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh file.

Re: Vbox usb error[SOLVED]

I found a workaround, but I need to know the rc.d equivalent to this file.
/etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh

Re: Vbox usb error[SOLVED]

USB works fine here. I just have to add the following to my fstab:

usbfs   /proc/bus/usb  usbfs   devgid=101,devmode=0664                 0 0

gid is the one of vboxusers; might be different for you.
