sorry to chime in late, email glitch and I didn’t see the messages. If it’s a USB adapter, don’t give the USB adapter to the host (windows), let the hypervisor give it to the guest (ubuntu/xastir) via USB passthrough. I’ve been doing it that ways for years and years.
e.g. with VMware Fusion (like VMware workstation only for the Mac) fire up the ubuntu VM and plug in the adapter. VMware will pop open a dialog to say “where do you want to plug in <insert name here>”. -Jason kg4wsv > On Oct 8, 2021, at 11:42 AM, Steve Rogers <kd5...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > I was unsuccessful to get virtualbox or VMware workstation to allow host > serial port to > Access ubuntu 20.04 guest.
