Unraid OS & VM Mouse/Keyboard sharing conflict


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I am running Linux Mint as a VM and have encountered a problem with my mouse and keyboard going dead. The fix is to disconnect the Mouse and Keyboard from the USB ports dedicated to the UnRaid OS and connect these two devices to the PCI USB controller card pass through I have setup for my Linux Mint VM.  After I do this my mouse and keyboard come alive within my VM.

 

Can anybody in the community please clarify if the following assumption is correct or incorrect.  Am I correct to assume a Mouse and Keyboard can be shared across both the host UnRaid OS and a Linux Mint VM?  Or do I need to have one Mouse/Keyboard set for the host UnRaid OS and a separate Mouse/Keyboard set for my Linux Mint VM?

 

In other words, does a VM by default designed to use the same Mouse/Keyboard the host Unraid OS system uses or does it require it's own Mouse/Keyboard devices ?   ANy opinion welcom and thank you for your time.
