Now USB works again, the iOS upgrade didn't cause an issue, even while I still had 4.3.18 guest additions installed on the Windows guest while upgrading iOS. Devices > Insert Guest Additions... has to be done manually, to downgrade to 4.3.12. Still odd that we still have a broken virtualbox package in the repositories. When there's no interest to stay with a stable version, then perhaps virtualbox should be dropped from the repositories and become an AUR package. Following upstream when the software is broken IMO doesn't make sense. Sure, current version of virtualbox USB works for mouse and to transfer small amounts of data by USB, but it is completely useless to transmit huge amounts of data. OT: Does anybody know, if it's possible to import a virtualbox vdi to another VM? If so, I would consider to switch to another VM. Regards, Ralf
