Alternatively I'll describe to you how to do it on the dom0 command line: 1) run 'qvm-pci' to see your available devices 2) if your USB controller is already assigned to e.g. sys-usb then detach it first by calling 'qvm-pci detach sys-usb dom0:xx_xx.x' 3) then attach it to your windows qube while it is powered down by calling 'qvm-pci attach win --persistent dom0:xx_xx.x' 4) start your win qube 5) if you get any error messages about being unable to attach the usb controller or not supporting reset redo step 3) with an additional parameter like this: 'qvm-pci attach win --persistent --option no-strict-reset=True dom0:xx_xx.x' Also: with my USB controller memory of the win qube needs to be 2G or less. Any more and it crashed the qube. But that might be very specific to my hardware.

Re: [qubes-users] Problems connecting USB to WIn7 VM
Thanks Sven To attach the entire usb controller is that via qubes settings>devices? I'm not near qubes just now. I am thinking of the box where there is the list of devices on the left that has a number of usb controllers. Am I in the right spot?

Attaching USB devices is not supported, but you can attach the entire USB controller ... that'll work. Note that Win7 doesn't come with USB 3 support and requires you to install a dedicated driver. /Sven -- public key: https://www.svensemmler.org/0x8F541FB6.asc fingerprint: D7CA F2DB 658D 89BC 08D6 A7AA DA6E 167B 8F54 1FB6 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
