The USB devices are now reported at /dev/bus/usb/ but currently there is no usbfs file-system mounted/linked there to provide the 'devices' text-file. qemu/kvm reports: qemuctl -qemu vdeq kvm -boot c -m 512 -hda /home/all/VirtualMachines /WindowsXP-SP2.ovl -net nic,vlan=0 -soundhw es1370 -usb -net vde info usbhost Could not open /proc/bus/usb/devices $ ls -l /proc/bus/usb total 0 WORKAROUND: To re-enable it edit the file '/etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh' and uncomment the code after line 40 so it reads: # Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work # mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644 ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb Execute the script manually to enable the change before a system reboot: $ sudo /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/156085/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
