Suse-Leap/Tumbleweed vBox USB settings discrepancy
by systemd-refugee from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5APNJ)
I have vBox set up under both Suse Leap and Tumbleweed. Each has its own settings folder in a vbox parent folder using a common disk image:
~/vBox/Lp
~/vBox/tw
~/vBox/vBox.vdi
The setup works well and it has saved me from two separate installations.
The problem is that the USB detection/setting is not the same in both cases. I have no idea how this came about but it previously led me on a wild goose chase not realizing that the settings could be different for the same hardware in Leap VS. Tumbleweed. More specifically,
Tumbleweed USB Settings say:
"USB Controller: OHCI, EHCI
Device Filters: 1 (1 active)"
Leap USB Settiongs say:
"USB Controller: OHCI
Device Filters: 1 (0 active)"
The USB device I'm after is a guitar USB-2 effects board.
It does NOT come up under Leap where the detailed settings-dialog USB page lists only a USB-1.1 Controler as an option to check (for the same Asus Crosshair-IV mobo).
Under TW the same dialog USB page lists both USB-1.1 & 2.0 as checkbox options.
As I said this had me running in circles until I found out the unexplainable settings difference. Now that I have nailed it I'd like to kill it. Is there any way I can rectify the problem by editing some configs or is it wired-in by virtue of Leap/TW differences?
TIA
