Linux Mint VM Locks Up After USB Port is Used


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

My VM mouse and keyboard locks up after I connect an external MyBook Hard Drive to a USB port that is part of a USB controller PCI card I added as a pass through. I have to FORCE STOP the VM so that I can work around the LOCKED VM and shut it down. 

 

Does such a problem mean I have a defective PCI USB Controller card?  This card was working nicely and now it is not.  My plan is to move the USB Controller card to a different PCI slot but I just wanted to know if such a LOCKED VM problem is a strong indicator of a commonly known problem relating to passing through a PCI USB Controller Card. Thank you for your time.
