kvm, and USB

[Lorenzo Taylor]

Thanks for the vmware-player/vmware server suggestion. Unfortunately I
tried vmware-player first, but the guest OS couldn't actually
communicate with my USB devices. The control panel would see them to
connect and disconnect them and the guest OS could see that a device was
connected or disconnected, but it didn't work from the guest OS at all.
I tried this with both a printer and a flash disk with no luck. That's
why I tried qemu with kvm. Googling for vmware USB showed me all kinds
of examples of it working except in open-SUSE,  and even a page that
gave me the same information about attaching the device before powering
on the vm and the person was using Ubuntu Feisty, but this didn't result
in any actual communication between the device and the guest OS. The
guest only saw the device connect and disconnect, but couldn't talk to
it. Maybe I should give vmware-server a try. Could this help?

Thanks,
Lorenzo
