If I have a virtual machine running and I insert a
flash drive into a USB socket, the virtual machine
steels the flash drive from the host, not that it
will actually work in the VM, which they don't.
To get them to work in my VM's I have to add them
as a piece of hardware to my configuration, then
they work.
I have to exit all my VM's to be able to see my flash
drives again from the hosts system (FC31). This is
a pain in the neck.
Any way around this?
If you are using the Virtual Machine Manager?
Yes
On the top Menu select "Virtual Machine--->Redirect USB Device" and uncheck the flash drive in question
to release it and return it to the host system.
I did. It does not work.
:'(
Well, it works fine for me here on multiple hosts.
If you want to keep the guest from grabbing the USB device you could always remove the USB Redirect from
the HW in the guest.
Any of your VM's Windows 7 Pro or Windows 10 Pro?
No, but that shouldn't make a difference. It would be HW level. What HW is presented to the guest.
I do have a Win10 iso if I have time I'll install to see if this does make a difference.
