I have a user on a machine with kvm/quemu and spice. All installed. Devices are visible, spice is popping up in the windows guest system (win7) for e.g. TomTom usb device rightly connected. It asks for the root password. I give it. But then spice says (with the right(!) password given) that I do not have the permission to join the device. Puzzling is I am already as user part of kvm, quemu and spice. What do I miss or do I wrong? Any suggestion? If I do join the device as usb device in kvm it works but is not useful because update operation require often reboot and afterwards the device seem not recognizes any more by kvm. Thank you in advance.

I found the following discussion of an opensuse forum of 2014: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/501434-Can-t-redirect-USB-to-QEMU... The chmod u+s /usr/bin/spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper command did work. That means however that KVM/quemu of Leap 42.3 has a 3 year old bug in the PAM settings or a regression. Still, although it is now possible to mount the usb device with spice, it is still impossible to do so without root password if the device is trusted and often used. If anybody has a suggestion on how to achieve this, I would be delighted. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
