Make sure USB and storage settings are properly configured in VirtualBox, and check that the flash drive is mounted in Ubuntu — check out the documentation for more details.

Since your Windows host recognizes the VMware USB device, it's a good sign that the host is set up correctly. However, for Ubuntu to detect the QuickFeather board, you might need to check a couple of things. First, ensure that the USB device is connected to the VM and not just the host. In VMware, you can do this by going to the VM settings and selecting the USB controller; make sure the device is enabled and connected.

As for VirtualBox, since you mentioned having installed the Extension Pack, that’s a great step! Double check that your user account has access to the USB devices in VirtualBox's settings. Sometimes, adding your user to the 'vboxusers' group can help with permissions issues.
