Hi,
Apropos my attempts to get gnome-boxes working, I'm beginning to believe that
even if I did manage to get WXP installed and running, the USB devices may
still not work.
A few minutes ago, I had a brainwave and ran tail -f /var/log/syslog just
before I plugged the device in (it's an efergy power monitor). This was the
result:

As you can see, the last two lines appear to indicate something not quite
right and the device doesn't show up in the KDE Device Manager. When I try to
set the device up in VirtualBox, it also says that no devices are found.
Any thoughts?
idVendor=0403 seems to indicate that it is a FTDI USB Serial Device converter.
I have seen on my HUDL the notation about it being a mtp type connection when
connected to Kubuntu, which I assume is something different.
