Spacepilot Pro in Linux guest

[mawi]

Hello everyone,
I try to get a 3Dconnection SpacePilot Pro working in a Virtual machine, but every time when I connect it, nothing obviously happens.
But when I connect again, I get "USB device [....] is busy with a previous request"
Where can I see what is happening and why it fails? (log file/debug mode or similar)
I already configured an USB filter, but it did not help

Best regards,
mawi

did you install the appropriate driver for the SpacePro in the guest?

[mawi]

Yes I did, but I cannot start it, because no Spacepilot ist found

Best regards

Follow the steps below. If there is a failure, please state which step failed:

1. Make sure that the extension pack is installed.
2. Create a USB filter in your guest settings while the device is plugged in the host. Delete all values except VendorID and ProductID.
3. Unplug the device.
4. Start your guest (the one that you applied the filter to). Let it start completely. Log in if you have to.
5. Plug your device. The filter should capture it and pass control to your guest.
6. If the device shows up in your host and is not captured by the filter, either the filter is incorrect, or there might be a problem with your filter installation.
7. Is the VirtualBox USB Driver installed in your host?
8. Are you by any chance using a USB 3.0 port?

bear in mind if you create a working USB filter for your SpacePro mouse it will no longer be available to the host until you quit the guest.

Hello and sorry for my delayed answer.
@socratis: Thanks for you advice, but I still get the Error that no Spacepilot is found.
@loukingjr: Also thanks for you hint


Best regards

you're welcome. I don't know if it will work but it's work trying. someone managed to get their joysticks working in a guest by creating a blank USB filter. worth trying.
