VirtualBox Open Source Edition

Or just use the non-OSE with USB support

Or not ! It's a free software, why use the non-free version ? BTW USB (mass storage) is working too on the OSE, with a simple trick.

Do tell.

For USB mass storage, you could use the rawdisk feature.
To use an USB printer in a Windows guest system, you maybe can connect via IPP to CUPS running on your Linux host or use Samba.

First, sorry it took so long to respond to your suggestions. I tried what you said and downloaded the kernel source as you said then ran the next command.

Code: Select all

root|[~] $ /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module ...done.
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module ...done.
Starting VirtualBox kernel module ...done.

Then I ran the command virtualbox both as user and root and got the same response

Code: Select all

Qt WARNING: QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.

Outside of the backgrounds I haven't changed anything in the theme. Any suggestions?

thanks,

john

Seems to be a problem with your qt, not vb

Not a lot of answers though. Maybe try Virtualbox Puel, if you don't have any objection to using non-open source

Change your Qt theme with 'Qt Configuration'

Code: Select all

$ qtconfig

Thanks, that did the trick. I changed from the default to the clearlooks and now it works.

Thanks to you both for your help,
