no USB UPS (but USB webcam)

Post by bjlockie »

I am trying to install the Windows software for my UPS.
The replace battery light isn't and it tests fine with linux software (NUT) but is runs down fast so I wanted to try the Windows software.
I stopped the nut client and server but I can't get virtualbox to see it.

I have no USB devices listed in virtualbox but I have 2 USB webcams listed (and there is only 1 physical webcam).

EDIT: nice of Windows not to say it thinks my hardware did so it hasn't updated.
I'm going to try to fix Windows.

That's a show-stopper right there. It looks like you're using the distro's fork version of VirtualBox. You can either ask in their forums/channels for help, or completely remove/uninstall/delete/purge their version and install the official version from the Linux Downloads section of VirtualBox. You can even add VirtualBox as a repository, so you could use your traditional install/upgrade/uninstall tools.

After that, you need to read the following thread: USB basics and troubleshooting, all of the posts. If you still have a problem after reading through the whole thing, please follow the advice of the last post, #8: Asking for help and post the information requested.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

I uninstalled the ubuntu version and ran the generic .run one:

VirtualBox Graphical User Interface

Still no UPS and 2 webcams.

Windows is such a pain. :-(
I may just reinstall it.

Why? There's a specific version for your Ubuntu, why go for the generic one?

Still I didn't see anything related to the troubleshooting information that I asked for...
