After the fstab edit the USB drive still didn’t connect (this caused a “/proc/bus/usb” error message on boot, so I removed the edit to correct that).Īny USB troubleshooting advice would be appreciated as per instructions, tried editing the fstab file as indicated to add a reference to vboxusers group, because I couldn’t find any reference to a “USB” group.

I’m not sure which of these instructions may apply to my setup.

VirtualBox.Org USB Troubleshooting Instructions (Chapter 12.8.7) in Whonix Gateway and Workstation – System Settings- Removable Devices I checked the boxes for all USB mounting settings. Also used the USB device filter settings to add a generic filter which is supposed to mount any type of connected USB drive. in VirtualBox Manager I used the Settings in both Gateway and Workstation to enable automatic or manual USB mounting. successful install of VirtualBox 5.0.8 Extension Pack on Ubuntu for USB support (is this the only install I need?) newest versions of VirtualBox, Whonix Gateway and Whonix Workstation – Whonix and VirtualBox – all running fine. When I connect a USB drive to my PC running Ubuntu, and then run VirtualBox/Whonix, the drive is not found by VB/Whonix (USB status icon says “no USB devices connected). I’ve followed Whonix documentation but haven’t been able to get USB drives enabled.
