[Qemu-devel] Usb device disappears from linux after Qemu starts

2019-02-04 Thread liebrecht
Below is the string I use: I use lsb to search for the the hostaddr of the usb device i want to connect to qemu. Qemu when it starts with this hostaddr then removes the device from the acticve usb list. Running lsusb after qemu starts shows the device disappeared. Is this a bug ? as I cannot

Hope I dont have to use samba for this. From reading online searches, it seems the following could work where backup is the nfs exported volume to be shared. -virtfs local,path=/backup,mount_tag=host0,security_model=passthrough,id=host0 qemu boots into win7 with this string added so it was

For the record I have no crashes with -cpu host It works perfectly. Although I can only see 2 cpus in windows with 4 showing up in devicemanager. The first link you sent was actually the first thing I tried and I was already aware of that one. It made no difference whatsoever. My bios is late

I resolved it by removing the nic driver detected by windows and rebooted. It seems llike the first thing to do after the startup string is complete is to remove all drivers and then let windows find them again according to what is available from the startup string switches. The nic problem i

Sound is rickety but at least I can see that it is possible as in my previous post which is already way better than virtualbox. Turning to networking; I can configure windows tcp/ip very well, but for some reason qemu fails at a network connection. Windows report the qemu provided network

Try to run QEMU with "-smp 4". Thomas thank you for your reply. I will try each of your suggestions in turn. -smp 4 did help and this time i could configure 2 cpus in windows. Now for a very important question. If hardware virtualization was not switched on in bios will qemu refuse to creat

I now move on to sound. I could get sound working as you instructed. I chose to load all sound cards and see if I can find one that works. Sound does work but it ios very intermittent, seemingly the same as what happens to the mouse as if there is a timeshare going on. Any idea what that ca
