Virtualbox 7.0.1 on Leap 15.5 can not assign USB devices to guests

[gerben]

I recently upgraded my laptop from Leap 15.4 to 15.5. After that i can no longer assign USB devices to a guest system. I tried my iPhone and a USB memory stick. Both fail in the same way: the device doesn’t get checked in the devices list and after the try i can still see the device on the host system. Nothing happens on the guest system.

Here a snap of the hosts /var/log/messages file when i try to assign a USB stick to a Linux guest (both host and guest run Leap 15.5)

# tail -f /var/log/messages

Likely unrelated problem i also have after the upgrade, but i’ll just mention it: KDE can not shutdown my laptop. Instead it reboots it. I can power it off with ‘systemctl poweroff’ though.

Hello,

maybe USB is deactivated for vbox as default

look at
/etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules
or usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules

the following entries are needed for USB:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh $major $minor $attr{bDeviceClass}"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", RUN+="/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh $major $minor $attr{bDeviceClass}"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh --remove $major $minor"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="remove", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", RUN+="/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh --remove $major $minor"

Please fill a bugzilla on this. Something changed in the latest kernel to cause this.

After installing Leap 15.5 i installed virtualbox 7.0.10. After installing there came a question about activating USB-Access for vbox-Guests. Acceapting this lead to the USB-Entries in usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules

It work with Oracle Code on Host but not with OpenSUSE code on Host in latest kernel.

VMware also seems to have issue with newest 15.5 kernel code.

Since the latest Kernel updates, USB no longer works on Virtual Machines

Hello In a previous update, I replaced kernel 5.14.21-150400.22-default with version 5.14.21-150400.24.84-default. Since then, USB no longer works on VMware Virtual Machines and it is impossible to connect a USB device. And even, you have to remove the USB controller to be able to connect/disconnect anything (CD/DVD, network adapter, printer and sound card). For testing, I installed VMware Workstation Pro 17 (17.0.2) instead of VMware Workstation Pro 16 (16.2.5) = Same problem (whether Window…

We are working to see what in our patches to make VBox work with OBS that has broken the USB attachment.

OBS is how it gets to where YAST and zypper can install it in Leap.

Some kernels are retracted, here in Leap 15.5

the 5.14.21-150500.55.22.1 kernel is bad use the 5.14.21-150500.55.19.1 kernel.
Something got built wrong but got past QA.

[gerben]

larryr is right, i was running 5.14.21-150500.55.22.1. Going back to 5.14.21-150500.55.19.1 resolved the issue.

I’ll file a bug
