Add Account to the vboxusers User Group

[jrichard326]

I recently installed on a Manjaro host and didn’t use my username in the command and it worked. So ,just in case try:

sudo gpasswd -a $USER vboxusers

Log off to make change registered

Trying to add to sudo gpasswd a $USER vboxusers results in no vboxusers? Trying to run a Virtualbox instance and access a USB device connected to the host PC. I tried to run the above command (changing the $user to me) and the response was : gpasswd: user ‘vboxusers’ does not exist Version 6.1 of Virtualbox, with Extensions installed. EDIT: Seems it was the wrong syntax, should have been sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers <your_username> It’s now working. Thanks
