no more usb access after Mageia 8 maj or install from scratch. (In reply to sturmvogel from comment #1) > https://wiki.mageia.org/en/VirtualBox#Oracle_extension_pack_.28optional.29 read me better : I HAVE installed that extension pack ! Try in a guest created from cero Cero ? what is this ? BTW, what is important to me is recovering usb access in all the guests I have already and that are important for my work. Under MGA7.1 I made a lot of virtualbox and extension/guests additions packs updates and never got that problem. if updating MGA means losing stuff that are needed I don't see the point to upgrade.

Just making sure it's clear, the extensions have to be installed in the host, and the guest additions in each guest. I just installed vb on one of my m8 installs. Before starting virtualbox, I added my id to the vboxusers and vboxsf groups, and logged out/in so the changes would take effect, then installed the extensions on the host. I installed m8 in a new guest, and after starting the guest plugged usb stick into the system, used the Devices menu in vb to attach it to the guest, and it auto opened in Thunar. (I started xfce in the guest, plasma is on the host). CC:

Ah. Sorry for the noise about vboxsf. It's not used by virtualbox, just for mounting the vb file (.vdi etc.) outside of virtualbox. Argh. Ignore comment 7. The vboxsf group is used in a vbox guest for accessing shared folders. I have it my system as it was installed from a live iso which is setup to work either as a vb guest or host for vb. virtualbox-6.1.20-1.1.mga8 has been released today in 8/core/updates_testing. Can you confirm bug still present? Summary:
