usb stick (device) problem ..

[bue]

Hello,

i have a problem with my usb stick (device) and Proxmox 3.1

1. I open the monitor tab from the vm
2. Enter the following command: info usbhost:

# info usbhost
  Bus 1, Addr 2, Port 1, Speed 480 Mb/s
    Hub: USB device 8087:0024
  Bus 2, Addr 2, Port 1, Speed 480 Mb/s
    Hub: USB device 8087:0024
  Bus 2, Addr 3, Port 1.4, Speed 12 Mb/s
    Class 00: USB device 046b:ff10, Virtual Keyboard and Mouse
  [COLOR=#ff0000][B]Bus 1, Addr 5, Port 1.4, Speed 480 Mb/s
    Class 00: USB device 090c:1000[/B][/COLOR]

3. Enter usb_add: 090c:1000
than i get this message:

# usb_add 090c:1000
could not add USB device '090c:1000'

or

# usb_add 1-1.4
could not add USB device '1-1.4'

When i add "usb0: host=090c:1000" in this config file "nano /etc/pve/qemu-server/103.conf" and restart the machine, than works ..

Is this a bug?

I use device_add usb-host,id=whateveryouwant,vendorid=0x0461,productid=0x0010 from the command line. I found that this works for a Windows XP VM, but on Windows 7 it does not. For windows 7 the only option is to add it to the configuration file and reboot. Don't forget the 0x on the command line, but NOT in the conf file. Very inconsistent.

Can you help me with this "device_add usb-host,id=whateveryouwant,vendorid=0x0461,productid= 0x0010" line?

What did you mean with "vendorid=0x0461,productid= 0x0010"?

 

[AndyL]

In your case,
USB device 090c:1000

the vendorID is 0x090c and the deviceID is 0x1000
