Can't attach USB Device: Google Nexus One => Fixed in SVN/3.1.6

[discoltk]

I am having a very similar problem as described in ticket #5873 while attaching a Nexus One to my Windows guest under OpenSolaris. I'm running VirtualBox 3.1.4 r57640 under svn_133.

Even when I have a filter created, VBox won't capture my Nexus One usb device.

I can sometimes get it to work with the following steps, although only sometimes will it work:

1) Close down vbox 2) modunload vboxusb and vboxusbmon 3) start vboxmanager (this reloads the module automaticaly), create the filter 4) detach device 5) start vbox guest instance 6) attach device

SOMETIMES (maybe 10% of the time), vbox is able to beat usba in the race to capture the device.

If and when I do get it to attach, if I need to disconnect the device while running vbox, it will fail to recapture it, and on subsequent launches of vbox it will not capture it.

Unloading the modules again in some cases has worked, but usually the "Current State" from list usbhost goes from "Held" to "Busy", possibly stopping at "Captured" briefly, although it won't actually attach under vbox and will go back to "Busy".

Thanks for creating a new report.

You should never have to fiddle with the VirtualBox kernel modules. So don't do any modunload/modload with them.

Secondly, with a filtered approach there is no race between VirtualBox and USBA. USBA always asks VirtualBox first. So could you list the USB filter you've setup for the VM i.e. "VBoxManage showvminfo <the-vm-with-filters>"?

Also please show me the output of "tail -500f /var/adm/messages | grep vbox" once you tried to connect the device after setting up the filter.

This shows the USB filter matched and the USB monitor did indeed take over the device, but for some reason it was "removed" which means the Solaris part of it still works. After some debugging I noticed this is a generic (not Solaris specific) 3.14 regression on all hosts. The problem has been fixed and should be part of the next release.

Thanks a lot for the report and logging info.
