[opensuse] Problems when dual booting Windows & Linux
- overall, perhaps there may be less sweat running Windows on a Linux Virtual Box ? ............. regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, of course. It depends what you need it for, though. A TomTom navigator model I tried failed to connect, for instance. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Very little experience with Linux Virtual Box, but in Vmware this works fine for having the VM grab the USB ports. Perhaps there is a setting in Virtual Box to have it grab the USB port and assign it to the VM ahead of time so that Linux gets out of the way? - -- _____________________________________ - ---This space for rent--- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAlNnxt8ACgkQv7M3G5+2DLI2BQCdEfTiCOHXObcPyGJbJPx+0XWb B8cAn0k6NEXx46/hDcv0e9fNoLiXmnjO =hJj1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

many devices don't works like this and one is enough to gibe problems (specially mate's devices, you can't choose :-() best way is to have an other computer with Windows :-) dualboot is the other I never tried xen, do it manage better usb than virtualbox? jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It was vmware, server at the time, player later perhaps. No, it actually worked for a year or so, then they suddenly changed something in the "driver" and it stopped working. I posted on their forum, never got an answer. All other use devices used on that or other virtual machines kept working, it just the tomtom. I then had to forcibly replace the tomtom (aka was stolen), and I used the "real" windows 7 in my laptop instead, never tried to install the gadget app virtually (XP). I use that laptop Windows install solely to maintain my hardware gadget collection, they all require Windows even if they run Linux inside (all of them, AFAIK). Everytime I have to do things on them, say once or twice a month, I have to boot Windows and wait for it to update the antivirus and things, itself, and the gadget applications. Then I can update my gadgets (maps, books, etc). At my 1 Mbit/s adsl rate, it takes hours. Pain in the... you know where. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

While the VM is running go the the "Devices" pull down --> USB and select the USB device you want to use, it will handed off to the VM for use. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I did that at the time. It worked, yet the tomtom driver failed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
