USB banking dongles that only work with guest OS.For example I have a USB banking dongle from my bank, ICBC, that is not compatible with Linux so I use a virtualized installation of Windows XP for banking and use a USB filter to grab the USB dongle.Įxamples of good devices to create filters for: You should create USB filters for things that you plan on only using with the guest OS (often peripherals that don't work with the host OS and will only work with the guest OS) and when you won't require being able to access the device from the host OS while the guest OS is running. Therefore, one should choose carefully what usb devices to create filters for. It's my understanding that a device being used by a guest OS with a USB filter will not be accessible by the host OS while the guest OS is running. You should be able to create a filter from any currently connected USB devices.Īfter you've done this (maybe restart to be sure the host OS isn't capturing any of the USB devices for itself-Ubuntu will try to automount the flash drive so you might also want to check and make sure that it is unmounted too) then boot into the guest OS and you should see your USB devices. You also need to set USB filters so that the USB devices get sent to the guest OS.įrom the main Virtualbox window open the Settings dialog, then the USB section, then click the little "add filter" button on the right side of the screen. (assuming you've already installed guest additions) When you start VirtualBox you should see a whole bunch of new USB devices. Then click on Close and log-out and log-in again.

You may be asked to enter your password again. Find the line that says Use Virtualbox virtualization solution and then OK. Now you will be shown a window with three tabs. You then have to click on Advanced settings for your user and enter your password. Then you head to your Dash home and type users. You will probably have to enter your password to allow the installation and add a Y (as in yes) to finish installing the packages.

Remember that to paste in the terminal you have to use CTRL+SHIFT+V, as opposed to CTRL+V

You can access it installing gnome-system-tools (it does not come with Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin), either via the Ubuntu Software Center, Synaptic or by typing in the terminal: sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools I had the same problem and fixed it by clicking in the VirtualBox group of my user.
