There is a quick fix if you get some USB related errors when opening Preferences in Virtualbox 2.
You only have to add these lines in your /etc/fstab file:
# usbfs none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=46,devmode=664 0 0

didnt work for me with vbox 2.0.4 in intrepid
i also did:
grep vbox /etc/group
and i got correct number for devgid but that didnt work either.
i even tried with:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=$TTYGRP,devmode=$TTYMODE
in a desperate search for the solution, but nothing worked.
thanks anyways
It worked for me, thanks
using the id from
> grep vbox /etc/group
in /etc/fstab
