I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and I want to use VirtualBox 6.1. I installed that successfully,and I added extension pack successfully. But when I try to use my usb in my virtual machine I get a warning message which is "no devices available". I know it is not about ubuntu exactly, but when I tried in Windows I was worked. Can you help me how can I solve this problem.
