[fedora-virt] Why is name not shown in Add Hardware for USB device?

[VISEUR Eric]

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?
