Hi,
I think this has nothing to do with your device name not showing up. I've already successfully attached devices that had no name showing up in virt-manager to a VM. However, if you're using recent packages versions from the virt-preview or rawhide, I've recently pinpointed a permission problem with USB passthrough that results in the behaviour you're describing. No fix yet, but that's a part of the game when using development versions :)
Best regards,

If I go to "Add Hardware" in virt-manager and select USB host device, I get a dialog with a list of things similar to lsusb output, but some of the entries are blank. For instance, lsusb shows:
Bus 003 Device 022: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. Webcam C270
but the usb device dialog only shows Bus 3 device 22 with no description for logitech webcam.
Is this a hint that usb passthrough won't work for this?
Certainly if I select the bus 3 device 22 item, I can attach it, but the Windows 7 virtual machine doesn't see anything show up.
Anyone gotten a webcam like this to work with qemu? _______________________________________________ virt mailing list virt@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
