Unhappy [SOLVED] VirtualBox OpenSuse Problem

Hi everyone! I have just installed VirtualBox 2.0.2 from Sun on OpenSuse 11 and i have a problem with the usb devices. When i go to settings:
Code:
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}
Callee: 
IMachine {1e509de4-d96c-4f44-8b94-860194f710ac}
Have you any ideas why?

Thx!

I found the solution why...you have to add the following entry to /etc/fstab:

Code:
none  /proc/bus/usb  usbfs  auto,busgid=XXX,busmode=0775,devgid=XXX,devmode=0664  0  0
Replace XXX by the group ID of the group vboxusers. You can determine this value by executing

Code:
grep vboxusers /etc/group

Of course, the current user should be member of that group. After the next reboot, there should be a directory /proc/bus/usb/ and the device entries below should be accessible by any user of the vboxusers group.

Hope this helps someone!
