Ledger Nano X & Windows 11 VM

[ytddewqf]

Hi, 

 

I have a Windows 11 VM setup and running great. I have today plugged in my Ledger Nano X, added it to my USB devices list in the VM, unfortunately however the Ledger Live app within Windows does not see it, it just sits there asking me to connect it to the PC. 

 

Anyone have any ideas? I've tried all the generic ones on the Ledger site (turn off antivirus etc), but nothing works. I've tried other cables, but still nothing.

 

Many thanks.

I would recommend that you pass through an entire USB Controller to the VM so that hot pluging from USB devices is working too in the VM.

Does this show the USB device connected?

 

May be worth looking in the logs to see it the USB has been enumerated again. This would change the bus dev id in lsusb and will cause USB to drop out of the VM. USB mapping is only done at VM start.

root@computenode:/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/usb_manager# virsh qemu-monitor-command "Windows 11"  --hmp 'info usb'

  Device 0.2, Port 2, Speed 480 Mb/s, Product Cruzer Blade, ID: hostdev0

 

As ich777 says you can pass through USB controller. Also have a look at my USB Manager plug to see if that can help.

Hello gents,

 

thank you both for replying. I ended up trying the USB Manager plugin first (as it was easiest...for me) and it worked a treat.

 

Many thanks.
