As explained here: http://usbip.sourceforge.net/#download
Since Linux-3.17 the package 'usbip' is obsolete and does not work. If used, usbip will not function. Solution: Finally remove the package usbip, it is absolutely missleading. Instead use the procedure described below in order to run usbip: Original post: https://github.com/solarkennedy/wiki.xkyle.com/wiki/USB-over-IP-On-Ubuntu On both machines (server and client) remove any libusbip* and usbip* packages then install the linux-tools-generic: apt-get install linux-tools-generic On the server, where you want to share the USB-Ports: modprobe usbip_host In order to make this persistent: echo 'usbip_host' >> /etc/modules Then start the usbip-daemon: /usr/lib/linux-tools/`uname -r`/usbipd Then bind the desired USB-Ports in order to share them over the network (in this case 1-1.3) /usr/lib/linux-tools/`uname -r`/usbip list -l /usr/lib/linux-tools/`uname -r`/usbip bind -b 1-1.3 On the client, where you want to use the USB-Ports: modprobe vhci-hcd In order to make this persistent: echo 'vhci-hcd' >> /etc/modules Then attach the desired USB-Port from the remote machine (in this case 1-1.3): /usr/lib/linux-tools/`uname -r`/usbip list -r $remote_host /usr/lib/linux-tools/`uname -r`/usbip attach -r $remote_host -b 1-1.3 I consider this bug report as open as long as the package usbip resides in the repositories. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1541855 Title: usbip in 16.04 broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usbip/+bug/1541855/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
