I have a usb desktop laser, which the MS windows software doesnt run particularly well in wine. So I tried virtualbox 5.2.12, but I cant seem to get the USB device to be recognized. wine would recognize the usb device.



The windows VM is Windows 7, my OS is Ubuntu Mate 18.04.



In virtualbox I have tried settings for usb1.1, usb2.0, and usb3.0, and I have installed the virtualbox-ext-pack. Im not sure what else to try. in the windows VM, the device manager states that the USB hub is "unrecognized"

  • Did you make sure your host user account is in the vboxusers group?
