why i can't get my USB interface detected by guest OS on my VMware? If i plug my flash disk to my system, only my host (SUSE) can detect it, but not my guest OS.
I try to enable it from menu VM -> Removable Devices -> USB devices, but it shows nothing. I do have USB device on the setting (USB device present)
More version info would be helpful, but before starting VMWare open a su terminal and type:
mount -t usbfs /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
If this works, you can recompile your kernel to restore the usb functionality used by VMWare. that SuSE removed. Search the list archives for more details.

SUCCES! - a combination of the answers given in this thread led to succes. - Yes, I have 6 USB ports on my machine (DELL Precision M90), only the first two works. I figured out which was which by looking into /var/log/messages with #tail -f /var/log/messages while inserting the printers USB. The above mentioned mount command was then issued before starting VMware and - voila - I have USB support in my MS2003 session through vmware. - Thanks to all. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
