Issues with USB Serial Adapter
Issues with USB Serial Adapter
Hi, I'm having some issues with USB connection on a Virtual Machine running on a Linux Host and Windows Guest.
The USB device is a USB Serial Port [0100] and when I select to connect to the guest it disappear from the list of options and sometime latter reappear in the list as disconnected.
What may be happening? Is there a place where I can get some logs or can you help me with some ideias?

Re: Issues with USB Serial Adapter
Carefully go through USB basics and troubleshooting. If you finish all the steps 1-7 and cannot get your USB device into the guest OS, carefully post the outputs of the commands in step 8 as text, not screenshots. Zip and post the logs step 8 call for, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

And perhaps explain why the VM needs to own the USB side of it.

Sorry, do you want to know why the VM needs this device? Or, in another words, why do I want to do with this USB device?mpack wrote:And perhaps explain why the VM needs to own the USB side of it.

Re: Issues with USB Serial Adapter
Nope. I want to know why the VM needs to be in charge of the USB aspect, why you didn't just use the "Serial Ports" part of the VM settings and let the host manage its own hardware.

Ohhhh... I've tried to do it but the sw (installed on Windows Guest) couldn't find and connect on the device, so as it seems the software needs direct access to the USB it self.mpack wrote:Nope.

Did you remember to add your Linux user account to the "vboxusers" group?

Re: Issues with USB Serial Adapter
Sorry, I have no new info and I don't see anything wrong. All I can suggest is to create a valid USB filter, and make sure nothing in the host is already using that serial port.
