I want to assign to a guest/domain in gnome-boxes a usb-device a chipcardreader.
In general if I use the gui method it works like expected.
The problem is that you have to activate the usbdevice after each suspention of the guest again and again.
So after searching for a solution Ive seen some suggestion like that:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'> <source> <vendor id='0x0763'/> <product id='0x202a'/> </source> </hostdev>
I start virsh and edit form there the host add this under devices and restart the guest. When I try to resume the domain from gnome-boxes I get an error like "cant resume" no specifics why.
When I then restart the gnome-boxes programm and try resuming again it works. But the usb device is not forwarded so I have to forward it manual again. In the xml file with edit command I dont find this part I added.
So Gnome-boxes seems to overwrite it on start with something or virsh does not save it.
I think it has something to do with this spicevmc devices I think they fight over the same usb-devices.
