Run with sudo.

Will it replace logname by a proper logged on user name? It didn't on Linux Mint in my case.

Yes. If this doesn't work, just replace it with your logged on user name.

Thank you. This fix resolves a VirtualBox usb issue for guest OS Windows 7 on Mac mini mid-2010 host running Linux Mint.

Thanks works perfectly.

It worked for Ubuntu 18.04 host / Win 10 guest
Thank you
