Description Roman v. Gemmeren 2010-06-23 08:11:55 UTC

Hi,

The OSE-Edition doesn't support USB! I have read lots of threads where users want to use usb-support inside virtualbox, but are using the OSE-Edition.

I have run into this problem myself on several occasions (maybe i am just too forgetful), but so have other users and so it might be a nice idea to put this into the postinstall notice...

Reproducible: Always

I can see how this could trip people up. Thanks for the suggestion, assigning to virtual box maintainers.

Not directly related to this, but very small bug: the Vbox-desktop file still says "Sun xVM VirtualBox" shouldn't this be changed to "Oracle xVM VirtualBox"?

This is fixed in virtualbox-3.2.6 packages.
