Description of problem: Attempt to create a USB device filter for a VirtualBox Client It appears that M5/VirtualBox does not see USB devices resulting in that you cannot create a USB device filter for a client. Seems to continue to work just fine on M4. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Summary: VirtualBox device filters are not supported on M5 => VirtualBox USB device filters are not supported on M5
Vbox 4.3.28.1 is used on both arch's.

I'm up early trying to debug the same issue on M5 x86_64 from Classical install, so yes, I may have the same problem. More data shortly. Tony

indeed, and iirc it is was working previonsly (cauldron)
Claire's qa comment was relevant - I'd forgotten to add vboxusers group in this one of several installations. After logging out, seem OK now.
Download Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.28-97679.vbox-extpack from: https://virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads in a su terminal run command: VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.28-97679.vbox-extpack Add user to vboxusers Group Reboot system for good measure. Vbox client now can be assigned USB devices.

What we really need here is vbox version 5 as it gets out of RC and as tmb has time. Current vbox doesn't support usb3 (version 5 does) which is now universal on new hardware.
Correction: I'm wrong in the perspective what I just said; there is backwards support of USB2, but no support of USB3 devices. We still need version 5 for this.
