it wouldn't load - with only USB 1 support The device I'm trying to use is my Epson V500 scanner. If helpful in solving your issue, for Oracle website downloaded VirtualBox 5.0.14, Mint 17.3 (64-bit) usually there's only one dependency, libcurl3_7.35.0-1ubuntu2.6_b Extension pack adds USB 2.0/3.0 support, useful speed boots for portable HDD's. Technically VirtualBox Extension_pack isn't required to use older USB devices, USB 1.1 support is included by default (might be a new addition since version 5). With the Oracle version you do not even need to download the extension pack, you can do downloading and installing in a single step from inside the VB manager.īTW (just to be complete): After adding yourself to the vboxusers group you have log off and back into your account to make this effective. Avoid the adventure, removing the repo version costs you a minute or so (less time than posting here), all your virtual machines stay untouched. I never tried to replace the repo version with the Oracle download version (how should I if I do not use the repo version), so I cannot tell you if this gives trouble or not. Remove 5.0.2 and install 5.0.14 (or even better 4.3.36, because more stable). I could give you the download link for the extension pack for 5.0.2, but that would be a bad idea, therefor I don't want to. To be honest, it is IMHO a bad idea to add VB5 to the repositories and than freeze the version. The start of VB5 was (as usual with this software) trouble-rich.the current version is 5.0.14 (you see the difference) and that does not mean new features, but few bugs. I write it again and again: VB is definitely an exception to the rule to only install from the repositories.
