Fixing VirtualBox 'Can't enumerate USB devices' Error on Arch Linux
tags: vbox, usb@holla
Recently ran into the “Can’t enumerate USB devices” error while using VirtualBox on Arch Linux. Jotting down the fix here so I don’t forget next time.
Steps to Fix
Check User Group:
VirtualBox requires the user to be in the vboxusers group to access USB devices.
groups
If you don’t see vboxusers, add yourself:
sudo usermod -aG vboxusers $USER
Then reboot (logging out might not be enough, Arch can be that hardcore sometimes).
Hope this note helps the next time I (or you) hit this snag!
