I can only think of one other explanation, the devices cgroup. Can you, while that VM is running, do
ps -ef to get the PID of the kvm process, then do cat /proc/$PID/cgroup (substituting in the pid)? Assuming it reads something like 1:blkio,net_cls,freezer,devices,memory,cpuacct,cpu,ns,cpuset:/libvirt/qemu/lxc-natty-amd64 you would then find the cgroups mountpoint using mount | grep cgroup and print out the device whitelist using: cat /cgroup/libvirt/qemu/lxc-natty-amd64 (substituting your cgroup mountpoint for '/cgroup'). If I'm not being clear enough here, please start by just giving me the output of: for p in `pidof kvm`; do cat /proc/$p/cgroup done mount | grep cgroup -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787091 Title: Unable to use USB device in KVM quest To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/787091/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
