When I try to add a USB Device in Oracle Virtualbox to the settings for my virtual Windows 11 Guest (Ububtu 24.04.1 is the host) all I see when I click on the "+" in the USB section is "<no devices available>".
What you should see is your host's list of attached USB devices with a checkbox beside each device (like the below picture). You should be able to check this checkbox allowing it to show up and be used in your Guest OS.
To solve the problem of not having a list of USB Devices, you will need to add your user name to the vboxusers group with this command in a Terminal Window.
sudo adduser $USER vboxusers
NOTE: This will add the current Ubuntu Host user to the vboxusers which will allow your USB Devices to show up. If you do not want to add the current user, replace $USER with the required users name.
