Usb pendrive 1gb on KVM
July 28, 2008 - 1:56pm
Hello all,
A just installed kvm and started a windows xp guest onto it. Everything works fine except usb devices. How can i use an usb pendrive on the virtual machine? I have created the virtual machine with virt-manager and had no chance to configure usb devices. When i plug the pendrive on ubuntu hardy it is automatically loaded and i can see the files on linux, but nothing happens on the kvm virtual machine. Reading thru the internet i have commented out the /proc/bus/usb section on the /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh file, but still nothing happens on the virtual machine when i plug the usb stick. I am starting the virtual machine thru virt-manager.
Thanks very much for any help.
Cyrofilho,
I had a look at this and there's no way to do this currently from within virt-manager. Virt-manager is a relatively young project and I'm the feature will be available in the future. The only way I know of doing what you want right now is from the monitor and I haven't had any luck accessing that from virt-manager.
Read the article, more immersive the environment. I bow down humbly in the presecne of such greatness.
That is really a nice idea. It's nice that they have thought about that kind of way. Thanks for sharing this information.
The same thing happened to me after I've installed the kvm and started a windows xp guest but then later one I realized that the my usb is not working anymore. pictures of kitchens
