[SOLVED] "Lost" USB Devices with 3.0.10 on Karmic
Posted: 7. Nov 2009, 00:21
I am running 3.0.10 PUEL on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic. (Guest: XP Pro)
I saw all 5 usb devices when i first got it working, i disconnected the one device i mainly want to use in XP after checking it was there, i have since not seen it again in the VBox' USB Filter dialog.
lsusb still shows the device the way it showed when i first had it in vbox.
The device in question is a phone, i unplugged it to install the drivers before reconnecting it. It has not shown up since.

the M-audio used to show as Unknown [0100], but the Phone has been too long since i have seen it to really recall what it was called.
I was able to pick it from the GUI and "add usb filter from device" and it showed up in XP fine.
What i wonder is if there is simply something i miss to do properly to fully populate the Device List in the GUI again.
I am in the vboxusers group and i can use the Chicony webcam in laptop fine in XP, same for the Sandisk usb SD card reader and the Realtek SDcard reader (built into the laptop)
I tried to make a manual filter, which does not show up either.
Any ideas appreciated ,
Daniel
EDIT: in unplugged and replugged the usb sdcard reader, which now also fails to show in VBoxManage list usbhost.
So i really am missing how to get vbox to "rescan" the usb devices of the host.
