Cannot attach USB device

[Monge]

Tried to follow instructions for required info needed to post a new thread. Hope it's complete. Ideas:

Host:
VB: Version 7.0.6 r155176 (Qt5.15.2)

The version of VirtualBox you are using, what version of the Extension Pack in Virtualbox on the host you have installed (if any), and Guest Additions (in the guest).

Host:
VB: Version 7.0.6 r155176 (Qt5.15.2)
EP: Version 7.0.6 r155176

Guest:
EP: Version 7.0.6 r155176


Host & Guest make and version including 32 or 64 bit, and the amount of memory available to both.

VM log file (as an attachment) See your VirtualBox users guide for how to locate this if using command line or right click the guest in the VirtualBox main manager and select show log. Then choose save.
*Note: Windows as host users with version newer than 4.3.12 need to post the VBoxStartup.log or VBoxHardening.log

Looks like you're trying to use the Gembird device, and part of your filter doesn't match:

Revision: 1.17 (0117)

Revision: 0111

It also looks like you found USB basics and troubleshooting, which is really good, Kudos! Please see post #4, step 3, on what to delete from the VM's USB filter, unless these things are absolutely needed.

[Monge]

I followed post #4, step 3.

I removed the Revision field, and changed the Remote to "Any" (it defaulted to "no",and still got the error:

Failed to attach the USB device GEMBIRD [0111] to the virtual machine Windows 10.
Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_SHARING_VIOLATION).
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005)
Component:
ConsoleWrap
Interface:
IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}

VERR_SHARING_VIOLATION means what it says: the host is already using the device, and USB devices can't be shared (at USB level). MacOS hosts seem particularly reluctant to give up control of attached devices. Best to only plug in the device after the VM is fully ready.

Also, this topic does not belong in "MacOS Guests" since MacOS seems to be your host, not your guest. Topic moved.

[scottgus1]

I remember that VERR_SHARING_VIOLATION on a 7.0 Mac host is because 7.0 requires running Virtualbox under "sudo" for the time being, to access host USB devices. The devs are working on it.

[Monge]

ah, thanks for the response.

When I do "sudo virtrualbox", I don't see any of my VMs. My VMs are located: "/users/joeblow/virtualbox vms".

I'm searching for instructions on how to start virtualbox as sudo and see my existing VMs, but if you can point me to the answer I'd much appreciate it. This is a little out of my comfort zone, but I'll keep looking!

[scottgus1]

"Sudo Virtualbox" is probably using a different user account which does have its own list of VMs. Under sudo you can go to each VM folder through the main Virtualbox window's Machine menu Add command and re-register each VM's .vbox file.

[Monge]

worked like a charm, thank you very much for the quick responses!
