I changed from AUR package virtualbox_bin to the community virtualbox and installed this package too. My usb devices were all greyed out after the change. The answer was to make myself a member of the vboxusers group again & to alter a line my fstab (old vbox had its group as 110, new verson as devgid=108)
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=108,devmode=0664 0 0
All worked fine on reboot.

Please also note, there is an issue with Qt librairies and community packages. virtualbox_bin is not affected.
So currently, virtualbox_bin is a workaround for peoples which are affected by this issue.

@cyberpatrol: I're wrong. I maintain the two packages. Believe me.

@seblu: I haven't read jarryson's PKGBUILD yet, but virtualbox_ext_oracle has nothing to do with virtualbox_bin, because these extensions are already included in virtualbox_bin as far as I know. So if I'm right virtualbox_ext_oracle is only needed with virtualbox from [community].

@jarryson
i will add strip option in next release. Thanks.
But, i have 2 issues with you PKGBUILD:
1- You suppose VirtualBox store its Extension in /usr/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/. But if you use virtualbox_bin package, path is /opt/VirtualBox/ExtensionPacks. This is difficult (impossible?) to know at packaging time the right path.
2- Why do you want to code again something when it's done geniously by software developer and there is no difference?

Maybe extract the content will be better?

@alphazo: this comment still has no connection with this package...

USB EHCI has been fixed in virtualbox 4.0.0-3. No longer need to manually add the udev rule.
seblu commented on 2010-12-27 00:10 (UTC)
@alphazo: This bug is not on oracle extensions (which add support of USB 2.0). USB 1.O is bundled without extension pack. USB devices are greyed without pack installed.
So this should be fixed in upstream package.

There is no version dependency on this package on purpose! You could read comments back from 2011 to understand why.
