Rick Sanchez Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hi, I've come back from a holiday and I've found that my Windows 10 VM is refusing to start. - It was in lock mode. The error is: VM creation error internal error: usb address needs device id I've searched the logs but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for? Thanks for your help :) Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Did you remove a USB device, which was previously attached (before your holidays)? 1 Quote Link to comment

bastl Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 @Rick Sanchez Check the xml of the VM at the bottom are all the passed through USB devices listed. It should be looking like this <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='no'> <source> <vendor id='0x04fc'/> <product id='0x0003'/> </source> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/> </hostdev> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='no'> <source> <vendor id='0x0a12'/> <product id='0x0001'/> </source> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='2'/> </hostdev> In my case one is the usb mouse and the the second one is the bluetooth dongle for my keyboard. Compare it to the normal config view and check if all the devices also listed there. If you for some reason disconnect the passed through USB device before starting up the VM you get the exact message you posted above. Quote Link to comment
