Plugged in a usb on host, then added a setting for that usb in the VirtualBox. Then started the guest (Win 8.1) and got this msg:
Failed to attach the USB device SanDisk Ultra [0100] to the virtual machine Laptop-VM.
Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_PDM_NO_USB_PORTS).
Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
The mega thread here on usb is over 7 years old, so have searched and read through various posts on different sites. There seems to be some related bug; not sure if it is relevant in this scenario - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...t/+bug/1515791
There is this post, but didn't want to go modifying that side of things - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2339215
