<span><font color="#888888"> You will
also need to add yourself to the vboxusers group in
order for Virtualbox to provide USB support. You can
do this with "sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers
username". Once done, you can logout of your desktop
session (not 100% sure if this works), or do a soft
reboot.<br>
