USB devices inside Virtualbox (Windows) guest VM are not usable #1615
Comments
Still no USB devices available inside the Virtualbox (Windows) guest VMs after today's update (week 6). Having the problem on several different Solus Budgie installations. The VMs worked all well before the update around the week 4 or 5. As soon as I start a VM I'm seeing this in the system log :
The VM itself is running without a problem (part from the unusable USB devices). |
Here a little screen shot of the USB menu available from the USB icon on the Virtualbox status bar (right mouse button click). For example it is not possible to connect the "Renesas E2 Lite JTAG emulator", because on all listed USB devices the buttons to activate the USB device to the VM are not available (red box). |
Summary
Since the last update (week 6, 2024) on any of my Windows guests VMs, I don't have access to any of the connected USB devices (mostly I use JTAG emulators). I also tried to access USB memory sticks, a FTDI USB-UART cable, etc. (in other words USB devices I'm 100% sure that they worked in the past). No of them could be accessed from inside the VM.
I'm quite sure this is since the latest kernel update, because I use a VM with a Win10 guest on every workday, for embedded software development.
Steps to reproduce
3a. If the USB device is automatically connected try to access it
or
3b. If the USB device is not automatically connected, then connect it over the USB icon on the Virtualbox status line and try to access it
Expected result
The connected USB device is usable in the guest VM
Actual result
The USB devices are not usable in the guest VM at all
