Hello all,
[I posted this question yesterday in the VirtualBox Forum, so I apologize if
you have received it twice. Of course, I will post any solution to this issue
in both forums]
VirtualBox version: 7.0.6 r155176, with Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.
Host system: Windows 10 (64-bit). 16GB
Guest system: Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit). Guest additions installed. 4GB RAM.
I want to use usbip inside my computer. Ideally, when any USB device is
connected, Linux should take control of it, execute "usbip bind" and then tell
Windows to attach that device; Windows would then execute "usbip attach" and
take the control back. I know it is quite a weird use of usbip, but this is the
solution I'm working with at this moment.
In order to get Linux take control of all devices, I create a filter:
vboxmanage usbfilter add 0 --target 192.168.56.101 --name "All devices".
My problem is that when I execute "usbip attach" in the Windows host, the Linux
guest takes control of the USB device again.
The only solution I have found is removing the filter before attaching the
device and creating a new filter after the USB device is correctly attached to
the host system. However, now the whole "usbip inside my computer" system is
disabled during that time, which can be several seconds when attaching a USB
pendrive. That means that new connections during that time will not go through
the guest system (even though the device will be controlled directly by
Windows).
Is there any way of not filtering those "newly discovered USB devices", which
are just the original devices after being attached to the host system? I need
to find how to tell VirtualBox not to filter the devices that are using usbip.
When I disable the usbfilter for a while and end up with the USB device
correctly attached to Windows, "vboxmanage list usbhost" shows me 2 similar
devices: the differences are in the UUID, port number, USB version, Address and
Current State. The main difference is the address: one of them shows the actual
usb address, and the other one tells me that it is usbip
("usbip://192.168.56.101:3240:1-2").
I have already tried using global filters, but they didn't solve this problem.
Or maybe I didn't do it correctly...
Thanks in advance,
Asier
