Get USB working in Virtualbox under Debian and Ubuntu

in

Edit /etc/fstab and add:

none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=XXX,devmode=664 0 0

Change XXX to be a group you are a member of, vboxusers is a natural choice (cat /etc/group | grep vboxusers - use the number there).

Something I have never been able to get working is sound in a Windows VM under Ubu, though I heard it works better with XP I have only tried Vista and 7.
