[SOLVED] VirtualBox 4 & USB Host

I'm moving from Virtualbox 3.x (binary PUEL edition with USB from AUR) to 4.x. My 3.x was fully working including USB host.
I've uninstalled Vbox 3.x and installed the following packages:
- virtualbox 4.0.0-2
- virtualbox-additions 4.0.0-1
- virtualbox-ext-oracle 4.0.0-2
Extension pack shows up in Virtualbox extension manager (USB host). I've also installed guest additions and enabled USB host under VM's configuration. However I'm unable to select any of my USB devices (everything is grayed out). Is there any additional step to go through in order to get access to USB devices.
Thanks
Alphazo
PS: From my previous working 3.x installation I also have my user belonging to the vboxusers group and vboxdrv module loaded by rc.conf.

According to the wiki it is no longer required to mount usbfs by modifying /etc/fstab (although you need HAL to be running).. Again I had USB host working fine with VirtualBox 3 PUEL edition. I since moved to VirtualBox 4 (GPL) + extension pack for USB (PUEL) but can't get USB to work. I'm not sure the package virtualbox-sun can solve my problem.

[solved] VirtualBox(Arch host, XP guest): Bridged Adapter

It's fairly easy to enable it in VirtualBox. But whenever I start the xp, VirtualBox gives me:
Failed to start the virtual machine XP.
Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
One of the kernel modules was not successfully loaded. Make sure that no kernel modules from an older version of VirtualBox exist. Then try to recompile and reload the kernel modules by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
My VirtualBox version is Version 3.1.4. And this is the first time I try it, so there should be no "older version" exists in my computer...
(I am trying to use it to connet to the vpn server in my department, the default NAT connection won't do it, that's why I need the bridged adapter).
I will really appreciate if anyone can help.

Check that vboxnetflt is loaded if you have already put it in your modules line in rc.conf
lsmod | grep vbox
If not load it manually:
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32-ARCH/misc/vboxnetflt.ko
You can put this in your /etc/rc.local for a more permanent solution.

Hi,
The first suggestion I'd make is to try downloading and reinstalling the switchable graphics driver on the following link as it lists a fix for WIDI.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-114949-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
When the reinstallation has com[pleted, restart the notebook.
If you find this has not corrected the issue, try the download available from Intel on the link below.

Windows reports that the "USB-IF xHCI USB Host Controller" device is not working properly.

I have been receiving the following error and instructions to fix it for a long time now, prior to updating to Windows 8.1:
A device is not working properly

Recommended solution to the problemUse Windows Update to check whether new device drivers are available. Proceed as follows:
Open Device Manager
Search in the device manager for the device whose driver you would like to update and double-click on the device name. You may first have to enable the "Show hidden devices" entry in the "View" menu.
Switch to the Driver tab, click Update driver and follow the instructions
When I follow the instructions and try to update the driver, I am told "The best driver software for your device is already installed."
How do I update the driver to stop receiving the error?

USB host controller

How do you download a hi-speed USB host controller?

The question is better served with another question. You need a system with usb2.0 ports or better.
Does your computer model (unknown, as you did not state it) have USB1 or USB2 ports?

Standard USB Host Controller

Hi,
The USB connection used for connecting to a printer failed. Trying to fix it I removed the Standard USB Host Controller Port_#0001.Hub_#0009 and as a result the device is now marked as "unknown device" with status= error#43.
How can I fix it?
Thanks, Eitan

Thank you for the prompt reply. I have followed the following steps (from Microsoft support forum) but it didn't solve the problem:
Lets reinstall the USB Controllers.
First, please disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:
1. Click "Start" button, type “devmgmt.msc” (without quotation marks) in the “Search” bar and press "Enter". Click “Continue” if necessary.
2. In Device Manager, double click to expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers", right click on the Host Controller, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".
3. Repeat the step 2 to uninstall all items under "Universal Serial Bus controllers".
Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will reinstall all USB controllers automatically.
All usb driver items restored correctly with the exception of one line that still shows "unknown device", with the following details:
Standard USB Host Controller
Port_#0001.Hub_#0009
Error 43
What else can I do?

[solved] Module usb-eth not available

Hi everyone,
I am using Arch for about a week now and must say that I love it. Before I was using Ubuntu for half a year and earlier Gentoo.
So now to my question. Our router at home is a FritzBox SL that has one USB port and one LAN port. Ubuntu had a module called "usb-eth" that enabled a device eth1 and let me connect to the internet. Any ideas how to find that? I couldn't find it in usb documentation of the arch kernel.
Thanks in advance
David
EDIT: solved. the module is called cdc_ether, everything works fine.

Thanx, I'm waiting for your report :)
EDIT: I have found solution for me. I'm using Logitech USB Keyboard, so I have done this steps:
1] Upgrade mkinitcpio to 0.5.23-1
2] cd /lib/initcpio/install
3] cp usbinput usbinput.backup
4] vim usbinput
and add this: MODULES="${MODULES} hid-logitech" (you will probably need another hid module, depend on your keyboard - try ls /lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/kernel/drivers/hid) after line with MODULES=" $(checked_modules "/usb/host ..." and save it.
5] pacman -S kernel26 (I'm using 2.6.28.2)
6] reboot :)
Good luck!

USB Host controller missing in device manager

Hello,
I've installed WIN 7 64 bit on my laptop; everything worked fine at the beginning; but after a couple of days, after a system update, all of the 4 USB ports stop working
In device manager there is no USB Host controller entry, and I have four device named "Multifunction device" marked in error
Already tried without success:
- update device driver autosearch online
- uninstall device and reboot; the system can't find proper drivers
- reinstall all drivers from HP driver update utility
- reinstall drivers with Intel driver update utility
- reinstall windows (no reformat)
- other driver search utilities
I can rule out an hardware problem because if I boot from CDROM or even usb keys, they work properly; given this fact, if I reformat the disk probably I could fix the problem I guess, but I prefer avoid this extreme solution, I use this laptop for my job and I have lot of customer network and VPN configured.
Thanks

After following the Apple instructions on how to install Boot Camp on my MacBook, I had similar problems. I received the following non-functional driver list:
Bluetooth USB Host Controller
Coprocessor
Ethernet Controller
Network Controller
SM Bus Controller
Video Controller (VGA Compatible)
I tried running the repair feature from the OSX disc, no help. It may be noteworthy that I installed XP Professional SP3 straight off of an install disc, and did not do the following:
Install SP2
Install Boot Camp 2.1
Update to SP3
I am currently downloading Boot Camp 2.1 and hope that it will solve this problem. If anyone can help, please let me know!

USB Host Controller not recognized by Windows 7.

Just installed Windows 7 in a1130n desktop. The USB Host Controller and the Std USB Host Controller are not recognized by the operating system. The USB ports and the media memory ports on the front panel will not work.

My HP Z400 is suffering from the same problem. Did you discover a solution?

KT4VL USB Host controller Problems

I have a KT4VL (MS-67212) and am having problems with the USB Host controller. I am running Win 98SE. This happens wether or not I have any USB devices installed. I have taken out all installed add on cards and tried and still get the same problem.
If I reboot the computer with the USB Host Controller installed, it won't boot. It goes into safe mode where I can uninstall the USB host controller. I can then reboot fine.
Every time I reboot though the hardware detector pops up saying that I need to install the drivers for the USB host controller. If I install them, then everything works fine, all USB devices are found and and function perfectly. That is, until I reboot and it goes to safe mode.
It has the 1.1 bios in it. I didn't install a floppy drive in this PC so I can't flash it at this time, if that is what I need to do.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
KTGBP

I have a Satellite C855D-S5320. I had my hard drive crash. I installed windows7 64 bit. All the drivers work except the USB Controller. just the Usb ports on the right side of the unit do not work. one of them is a USB 3. I tried all the driver updates off your web site, I tried windows driver search, I tried driver Genius program too. I also ran a diognostic on the motherboard, it shows all working fine. I upgraded the bios and checked settings there as well. Please help if you can, Tom

Help - USB Host on the Z10 with 10.2.0.424

Hi, can you help me with USB Host on the Z10 (STL100-2) with software 10.2.0.424
I have been told USB Host will work on my device if I use a "Powered" USB adaptor. I can't figure out how to do it. Can you give me some help ?

That is a shame.
Those Y adaptor wire (with MicroUSB connected to the Z10, Female USB connected to the memory stick, and Male USB connected to a power source) would normally be expected to work for devices like the Z10 which don't power the USB port.
The Z30 is different, it actually does power the USB port, so it can do USB Host with a straight adaptor wire.
