Shaun’s Notes

Issue:

When you try to allow Virtual Box to use a USB Bluetooth dongle that is connected to your Ubuntu box you receive this error:

Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_READ_ERROR).

Result Code: 0×80004005

This is a result of Ubuntu not allowing Virtual Box to access the device.

A quick fix is to:
1. Go to System >  Administration  > Services
2. Unlock
3. Uncheck Bluetooth device management.

1. Go to: ~/.VirtualBox/Machines
2. Open the folder of the OS having the issue
3. Open the ****.xml file
4. Locate <SharedFolders> and remove the invalid entry that is causing the issue.
5. Now Save and you can refresh VirtualBox to be able to access the virtual OS.
