Recently I came to know about the Premium Suite For Samsung Galaxy Note. And being a proud owner of this great device it was quite obvious that I wanted to take the pleasure of this. So, I thought of upgrading my phone through Samsung Kies. But I have been working of Linux since last couple of years, so got kinda stuck as Kies doesn't come for Linux. So, I installed Oracle VirtualBox on my Ubuntu Box and installed Windows 8 in it. After that I quickly installed Kies in it. But, to my surprise I was not able to connect my phone. After some diagnosis I found the error message shown below :
Failed to access the USB subsystem. VirtualBox is not currently allowed to access USB devices. You can change this by adding your user to the 'vboxusers' group. Please see the user manual for a more detailed explanation.
And the detail message was :
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x00004005)
Component:
Host
Interface:
IHost {dab4a2b8-c735-4f08-94fc-9bec84182e2f}
Callee:
IMachine {5eaa9319-62fc-4b0a-843c-0cb1940f8a91}
If you are also facing something similar, don't worry. There is simple one line workaround for this problem. But before that let me put one thing. This is not a problem with VirtualBox. You just have to add the current user to the vboxusers group. Issue the following command to do this :
sudo usermod -aG vboxusers <your username>
*Replace <your username> with your user.
Do not forget to log off and back in to finalize the change in permissions. After logging in restart your VM, open Kies, plug-in your phone and you are good to go.
