@lnx Here is my patch. I downloaded the Ubuntu source but it doesn't seem to be complete (I think the ubuntu package relies more on libvirt which doesnt support USB pass through yet)
My patch here is for version 77 of kvm, available here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=180599 It patches qemu to allow the proper use of the USB pass through option and I have been using it successfully since I patched it (I have a USB programmer that only works with windows). Save it to the kvm77 directory (where you run the ./configure etc) and run: patch -p1 < usb-linux.patch to patch the file. Then compile as normal, I now have to run my virtual machines from the command line and not through kvm virt manager app, I think this is because of what I said earlier, but its all running perfectly from there and is still fast! ** Attachment added: "Patch to kvm-77 to allow USB passthrough with qemu" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18915375/usb-linux.patch -- Could not open /proc/bus/usb/devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156085 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
