#19296 new defect

No USB devices available to Win7/Win10 guests on Linux host [VBox 6.0.16]

Reported by: thoikix Owned by:
Component: USB Version: VirtualBox 6.0.16
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Windows Host type: Linux

Description

Under VirtualBox 6.0.14-133895, right-clicking on the USB icon on the VBox window status displays a menu showing a list of the USB interfaces/devices available on the host. Each entry in the list has a checkbox which can be used to assign the USB device to the Guest OS.

However, after upgrading to Version 6.0.16-135674 of VirtualBox, right-clicking on the USB icon does not show the list of USB interfaces/devices - instead it shows a menu list with the only entry of "USB Settings..." and a greyed-out entry stating "No USB Devices Connected"

Although I discovered this issue when running Windows 7 and Windows 10 guest VMs, the same issue also arose when running an Ubuntu 16.04.6 guest VM too.

I have attached the following files:

  • a screenshot of a Win10 guest VM, showing the the USB device statuses when running under VBox 6.0.14-133895
  • a screenshot of a Win10 guest VM, showing the the USB device statuses when running under VBox 6.0.16-135674
  • a zipped copy of the VM log for the Win10 guest, runing under VBox 6.0.16-135674.

My host system is a Lenovo Thinkpad E590 laptop with Intel Core i5-8265U CPU & 8Gb RAM, running Ubuntu 16.04.6.

I originally raised this as an issue on the forum, at https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=96663&p=469555#p469555
