RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Martin Kopal 2012-08-08 11:16:39 UTC 
Description of problem:

I am not able to get working my BlackBerry with the BlackBerry Desktop Software under KVM Windows guest. Whole system is updated.
In the Virtual Machine Manager I changed Controller USB to USB 2 model and added 4 Redirected USB (type: spicevmc).
Connected to the guest through virt-viewer with an option to redirect USB device directly to the Windows guest.
Guest system is detecting connected device correctly but after you start up BlackBerry Desktop Software it`s disconnected. 

Logs from /var/log/messages is flooded with the following:

It continues with it until I disconnect the device from the system.
From time to time I am able to get it work for about a minute but not for long and the error appears (BDS showing device as disconnected).

This setup has been tested under RHEL 6.3 with the same results.

Similar results are visible with PC Suite and Nokia mobile as well thus not only with the BB devices.

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

qemu-1.0-18
qemu-kvm-1.0-18
usbredir-0.4.3-1
virt-viewer 0.5.3
Guest systems tested : Win7 and WinXP
BDS 7.1.0.23

This problem wasn`t visible on older RHEL 6.2 system with USBR.

How reproducible:

Install Win OS under KVM guest and try to connect to the usb device using BB desktop software.

Aug  8 13:02:38 sektor kernel: [12853.512726] usb 2-1.2: reset high-speed USB device number 9 using ehci_hcd

Expected results:

Connected to the device with no such errors.

Hi,

2 things (to cover some known and fixed bugs):
1) Are you plugging the phone into a USB-3 port, if so can you try plugging it into a USB-2 port ?
2) Can you try upgrading usbredir to this version (I know this is for Fedora, but it should work fine on
    RHEL too):

Thanks,

Hans

Hi,

I am using Lenovo T420 with no USB3 port available.

I have installed package you have provided and I can confirm that now I am able to connect to the BB with BlackBerry Desktop Software with no such errors.

Thank you

That is good news, thanks for testing! You should be able to use that package without any issues as a workaround for now. I'm going to mark this bug as a duplicate of another bug which is tracking getting the fix present in that Fedora package into a future RHEL-6 release.
