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

I agree seblu, it's all very strange. That line in my fstab is from about three years ago, so I don't doubt that it's outdated now. But none of the threads in the vbox forums were of any use in solving the greyed out usb devices problem. Their mods just repeat to install the extension pack and make user a member of the vboxusers group, reboot and then usb should work. It's only when checking the groups that I noticed the ID change. Anyway, thank you for maintaining the virtualbox packages. They are very useful to me and I would be lost without them.

strange. i believe new virtualbox use /dev/bus/usb instead of /proc/bus/usb.

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? PKGBUILD: http://aur.pastebin.com/X4fbVN8J
