[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 876957, member: 37647"] I installed Kubuntu 20.04 today in a dual boot setup and I am very happy with it. To get USB devices detected and working in your VB virtual machine -- assuming you are on a linux host -- you need to add your user account to vboxusers group. run this: sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $USER And then log out. Note that this command will not work on a limited (standard) user account. If you are using such an account, then replace $USER with your actual user name. The reason for this is the sudo, thus the environment variable $USER will add your admin or root account to the group, rather than the user account that you intended. [/QUOTE]
