AS a noob to using Ubuntu/ Virtualbox, can you be more specific. Where does the entry go? Am i editing the mountdevsubfs.sh file and adding a line? I would appreciate any help.

If that doesn’t do the trick, try adding the following to your ‘/etc/fstab’

usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=124,devmode=0666 0 0

Where devgid is the group number of your vboxusers group.

Then, Reboot.
