virtualbox, usb, ipod touch

Searching in internet tend to be waste of time as more and more people join into this huge information sea and spread their shit out from their mouth with no scruple. I don't want to strict the spirit of 'share', which be main spirit of internet. I just want to gripe about junk information on internet.

Here I want to backup some tips about using ipod touch in virtualbox which running in linux system.

1. Follwing patch might let your linux host system treat ipod touch more friendly.

diff --git a/drivers/usb/core/devio.c b/drivers/usb/core/devio.c

I __DO__ __NOT__ want to put shits here about how to apply the patch. So, do not ask me.

2. Above patch does no impact on syncing ipod touch in virtualbox at all. So, the first step can be jump over safely. Now the key operation is mount usbfs on /proc/bus/usb. The following sequence should be offer help.

$ sudo su
# echo "none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=664 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
# umount /proc/bus/usb

# mount /proc/bus/usb
# exit

3. That is all. Startup virtualbox and enable USB support in setting of virtual machine. Enjoy.

There are so many shits in internet about 'add usbfs then ... ' or 'add vboxusr then ...'. Fuck, these shits are nothing but wasting time.

And another, such 'add item to fstab then reboot' is dog+bull shits.

At last, virtualbox should be recommended.
