clambert Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) So I did something stupid and checked a box to add a USB device (mouse) to my VM that was connected to another machine. Now the VM will only run when that machine is on. I was hoping I could just uncheck the USB device that I enabled but it's no longer listed under USB Devices on the form view of the device I added it from. Is there any easy way to determine what I enabled in the XML view? To be clear, I enabled a connected mouse on my laptop. The VM runs fine when the laptop is on. With the laptop off, I can no longer run the VM on my Chromebook. Also, once the laptop is turned off the VM appears to stop. Anyone have an idea of what I can do to fix this issue? HERE is a link to the XML on Pastebin of my VM config. Edited April 27, 2020 by clambert Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Not really sure what you did. I guess you ticked a box in the webui for the VM, right? The only USB device connected to the VM is the following in the XML <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='no'> <source> <vendor id='0x046d'/> <product id='0xc063'/> </source> <address type='usb' bus='0' port='1'/> </hostdev> Check under tools > system devices > USB devices what this device is (046d:c063) You can remove it from the XML by deleting the part above. 5 hours ago, clambert said: I enabled a connected mouse on my laptop How did you do that? You only can enable devices physically connected to unraid itself. 1 Quote Link to comment
clambert Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Well, that fixed the problem. Honestly I don't completely understand what happened. In looking back at the mouse after deleting it from the XML and rebooting, it was indeed the mouse attached to the server. I don't know. Regardless, I think I'm good again. Thanks for the help @bastl! 1 Quote Link to comment
