Hello,
I am trying to have my virtual box recognizing the USB
devices,
but I get <no device recognized>
I installed
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.40.vbox-extpack
which is supposed to provide the UBS 2.0 and 3.0 drivers
My devices are recognize by linux.
Any idea?
Where did you obtain VirtualBox?
Does the version you installed match the Extension Pack?
rpmFusion supplies 6.10 so you'd need
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.10.vbox-extpack
Hi Patrick, I'm using Virtualbox 6.1.12 R139181 under Windows 10,
which I got from the Oracle web site. I have also just updated the
extension pack to also 6.1.12, but I don't think the extension
pack is what provides usb support (I thought the main usage of the
extension pack is to get shared folders available) I thought the
usb support was natively built in to virtualbox. In the machine
settings in the usb section, I have 'Enable USB Controller'
ticked, and then within that I have the radio button 'USB 3.0
(xHCI) Controller' selected, but that does not enable usb in
virtualbox, any device inserted into a usb port is "mounted" under
windows, and then I have to click on the usb icon in the
virtualbox taskbar and then select the inserted device from the
popup list to get the device into the linux virtual machine. Then
once finised with the device do the same thing again to give the
device back to windows.
Please see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#intro-installing
as to information of what the extension pack provides....
Partially, from the page...
Extension packs. Additional extension packs can be downloaded which
extend the functionality of the Oracle VM VirtualBox base package.
Currently, Oracle provides a single extension pack, available from:
http://www.virtualbox.org. The extension pack provides the following
added functionality:
The virtual USB 2.0 (EHCI) device. See Section 3.11.1, “USB
Settings”.
The virtual USB 3.0 (xHCI) device. See Section 3.11.1, “USB
Settings”.
