How can I use a usb stick in the virtual machine ? When I opened 'settings', a warning opened by itself and said that I had to add my user to the group vboxusers. I did that (sudo adduser naomi vboxusers), but the warning is still displayed, and the usb stick is still not recognized by the VM, although it is by the host. If I click 'add' on the 'usb' tab of the settings, it says 'no device available'.

Thanks.

seems you have the wrong command, the correct one is in the VirtualBox Documentation

sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers username

(Where username is the user you want to add)

There you go, after you do that all you need to do is open Vbox and select Devices > USB > "Whatever usb device you want to add"
