USB-devices Nokia and Palm not working anymore on guest
Posted: 12. Aug 2010, 11:51
This is weird! I have reported this bug before, VirtualBox 3.1.4. See: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6199.
I just changed the version numbers
.
Running VirtualBox 3.2.8 on a Mac Leopard 10.5.8, guests Windows XP and
Windows 7.
I've configured to use my Nokia XpressMusic and Palm T|X as "remote only"
devices. The guests do not use the devices automatically (anymore). When I
connect the device manually via the menu option devices the connection get
lost when I try to hotsync my Palm device. So: hotsyncing is not possible
anymore... When I try to manually connect my Nokia, VirtualBox says:
"Failed to connect the USB device... USB device ... is in use by someone
else". To be clear: the host is not using the device!
I tried to get things working by changing the option "remote only" to
"any", but that is not a solution... Same for connect the devices before
starting the guests.
My USB-stick works okay (setting: "remote: any").
To keep thing working I decided to reinstall the previous version of
VirtulBox, 3.1.6.
