Software :: USB Devices Greyed Out In VirtualBox PUEL / Sort It?

Feb 3, 2010

I'm using VirtualBox PUEL and have enabled the USB controller (including EHCI) on a XP VM and have added filters for the devices I want to pass through. Unfortunately the entries in the menu listing the USB devices are greyed out. Running VirtualBox as root has them enabled but the VM doesn't boot past the menu you get when you press the F8 key on startup.

Ubuntu :: Virtualbox PUEL Lost USB Connectivity After Upgrade To Karmic?

Jan 14, 2010

I am using the VirtualBox PUEL version, and I used to run Windows + the driver program of my Lexmark USB scanner - successfully. Now I have upgraded to Karmic, and when I try to attach the virtual machine to the USB scanner I see its line (and all other lines) greyed out, see the screenshot below:

Thus I have lost USB connectivity after upgrade to Karmic. Also in the yellow status box "Unavailable" appears. how to use my scanner and other USB devices again?

OpenSUSE :: 2 Out Of 3 Usb Devices Work In Virtualbox?

Dec 9, 2009

Host is x64 openSUSE 11.2
guest is winxp pro
VirtualBox ver 3.0.12

The install and setup of VirtualBox is good and working.

I'm having a perplexing issue with usb devices. I have three usb devices connected to my system - apc battery, sd carder, and a Logitech joystick. All devices work on the host. I can connect the apc and the card reader to the guest and they work perfectly. But not the Logitech joystick. I get this error, same as I've seen in some other threads:

Failed to attach the USB device Logitech Force 3D Pro [0600] to the virtual machine winxp1. Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_READ_ERROR)

under "details" is this:

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {0a51994b-cbc6-4686-94eb-d4e4023280e2}

When I installed I modified my fstb:

Code:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SP2004C_S07GJ1UA115587-part1 / ext4 noatime,acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_SP2004C_S07GJ1UA115587-part2 /home

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't Detect USB Devices On Minimal Install / No Window Manager - Sort It?

Feb 26, 2011

I'm trying to create a media box for my TV. I've installed a barebones ubuntu from minimal install disc. After that I installed xorg and XBMC. But my usb devices are not automounting. Is there a pacakage im missing? I've read that XBMC should be able to handle mounting of devices and that no window manager or desktop environment is needed to handle this.

I followed these two tutorials and my current install is 10.04 Lucid.

Fedora :: VirtualBox Guests Hang After Kernel Update / Sort This?

Aug 7, 2010

After updating to kernel-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64 (and updating all kmods) VirtualBox guests no longer boot.

I had a Windows guest (from now on refereed as Crapdows) that worked normally. After the update, I could get to the "Start Windows Normally" screen, but then Crapdows refused to boot. At first, I thought it was a crappy M$ bug, but after creating another VM (Doublecrap), and starting from scratch, I was able to get to the "Windows is loading files" screen, and then the guest hangs again.
This problem is generalized to all OS'es I've tried. In Ubuntu, I can get to the language selection screen before the installation freezes. The same applies for Fedora and SUSE guests.

Is it time to get my hammer?

Ubuntu :: VirtualBox: USB Devices "not Available"?

Oct 30, 2010

I'm running the non-free version of VirtualBox, the one with USB support, on Ubuntu 10.04. I have a guest XP running in VBox.When I plug in USB sticks, then look at Devices > USB Devices, the sticks are there; but they are greyed-out, and when I mouse over them it says the devices are "unavailable".Strange thing is, when I plug in my (USB-connected) HP Deskjet D2660, that is available.I have image files on a USB stick, which I want to print via VirtualBox (I can't get the printer to work in Ubuntu)

Ubuntu :: Greyed Out Screen Happens Way Too Much / Cause Of This?

Jul 17, 2010

I've searched for this a fair bit but everyone seems to have a different cause.

I constantly get applications greyed out. (I understand this is when ubuntu sees them as 'not responding') It happens to Firefox a lot, but that may just be because I use it alot. It happens to Nautilus a lot too, and sometimes the everything gets grey at once.

Windows, every other OS I've ever had installed (including older Ubuntus) and the 10.04 live-cd all run fine. So I'm under the impression that it's something either that i've installed or that ubuntu did when it installed.

It's done this pretty regularly from day one, so it doesn't seem to be something I've done lol.

What possible causes are there for this? Is there a log or something I can check that may enlighten me?

Programming :: SORT Command Versus Unix SORT

May 4, 2010

We switched from unix to linux and we have an old report that extracted data from a database, output to an ascii file and then sorted the results in the file based on different arguments. The report now blows up when it runs,and I can only guess it is because the options for sort on linux differ slightly from unix.For example, here is one of the commands issued from within the report app that ran on the old unix box:

if sort-sequence = "descending" then
'sort -t~" -f +3.0f -4.0 +5.0r -6.0 -f '
else
'sort -t~" +3.0f -4.0 +1.0f -2.0 -f'

I will eventually rewrite the report to store the data in a local table, but I can simply adjust the options to suit the requirments of linux. Basically, I need to know if this can be a quick fix for the short term.

General :: Start Button On K3b Greyed Out?

Jun 18, 2011

I'm trying to burn the .ido of Mepis 11 to a DVD. I have a 4.7Gb DVD-R in the drive. Usually, I would just navigate to the .iso and select it, and K3b would do the rest. Now, when I do that, K3b does check the md5sum, and it's correct, but then it just sits there with the Start button greyed out.

CentOS 5 Networking :: VPN Button Has Greyed Out

May 8, 2009

Just installed Centos 5 and I'm wanting to learn. However I also need this machine to VPN to work. When I go to Network Connections and click on the VPN tab the button to "Add" a connection its greyed out.I've googled and tried a few things in terminal with openvpn, pptpd client, poptop, but now I'm more confused than ever. I think the problem is most of the pages I hit are how to create a SERVER on the Centos 5 box, I just want to be able to vpn into work, so I'm assuming a client?My question is

1. Is there a gui interface for a quick VPN connection?
2. If not, what is a help doc with just the connecting side of the puzzle?

I have a 2nd computer with Windows on it that was preset up on VPN for me.

Ubuntu :: Evolution Send / Receive Tab Greyed Out

Feb 10, 2011

Running Evolution 2.23.3.1 on a laptop with 8.04 installed. (Running 8.04 for good reasons - please don't query). I've been running perfectly for some time, but today when I booted up and opened Evolution to check my mail, the first sign of something odd was that it didn't ask me to unlock the keyring. Then I noticed that the send/receive was greyed out.

I rebooted several times with no change. I've clicked on Permissions in the File menu, but that doesn't then show any window, which is what I would expect, thinking that something has changed. Other than accepting all the usual update manager's recommended installs, nothing has changed on this laptop for several weeks.

Ubuntu :: When Open The Login Screen Settings - Greyed Out

I'm the only one using this pc, so I want to enable automatic login. When I open the "login screen settings" though, it's greyed out (inactive) and the "unlock" doesn't do anything.

I also have something about "keyring" asking my password each time just after login, which isn't pleasant.
