Description Andres Garcia 2009-12-03 09:45:21 UTC
Description of problem:

I am trying to connect usb devices to virtual machines in F12. To test the feature I use a bluetooth dongle. 

In F11 I would just need to add the usb physical device using the virt-manager GUI and everything worked, although it was another computer.

In F12 it doesn't, lsusb at the host returns:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 009 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 005: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth
Dongle (HCI mode)
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 046d:c001 Logitech, Inc. N48/M-BB48 [FirstMouse Plus] 

As a test guest I have another F12 machine, upgraded from F11, there lsub returns:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub 

Both before and after adding the dongle and the bluetooth utils don't detect
the it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

I first tried with F12, when it didn't work I tried updating with the Rawhide virt repo for F12 (http://jforbes.fedorapeople.org/virt-preview/f12/$basearch/
), it didn't work either and, this time, when adding the physical device, the dropbox to choose the device didn't show the same description lsusb returns, but
I could add it thanks to the bus and device numbers.
