USB Grayed out can't add USB devices in Virtualbox

As I have said before - If you install the virtualbox-guest-tools on the host - they lock USB and cut and paste.

It is best to zypper rm virtualbox* and reboot

then on host

zypper in virtualbox

anything else needed will get installed.

All windows guest have to use the Oracle Guest additions.

On OpenSUSE guests

zypper in virtualbox-kmp-default virtualbox-guest-tools

Anything else needed will get installed.

With VirtualBox 7.0 the extension pack is not needed for most users.

Here is proof that OpenSUSE and Windows 10 do allow USB.
