I have a working development environemnt on an Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS ("Linux 2.6.32-45-generic x86_64") running on WMWare Player 5.0.1. The host operating system is Windows7.
.
The problem I have is that I can't see any USB device. lsusbcommand does not list any attached device. Even the embedded web cam. All the usb devices can be seen in the removable devices list but when I try to attach them to the hosted Ubuntu I get the error: "The connection for the USB device was unsuccessful. Driver error". The driver on Windows are installed and the devices work.
I googled it and I found that maybe the problem is that VMWare player does not support USB3 yet. I did not find a way around this problem. I tried to uninstall the USB3 driver but the result was that the USB port stopped working.
How can I fix it?
