I have not used this feature of KVM before so

Hi, <br>
<br>
I posted this on the 12th of July:<br>
<br>
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>
