USB not working on VMWARE?

[austin06]

Hi,

I just downloaded the VMWARE image of meteohub to run it with a WMR200.
I installed the VMWARE on a Ubuntu 10.4LTS machine (intel + P45)
I launch the VM, but unfortunalety, I dont have USB recognized in the meteohub web interface

On the weather station setup I have the following devices available:
Warning: Weather station does not have a sensor assigned on "Sensors" page
Available Devices
USB serial none
Serial /dev/ttyS0 /dev/ttyS1 /dev/ttyS2 /dev/ttyS3
USB HID none

My station is not recognized
Any ideas???

Thanks

by the way I'm using VMPLAYER 3.1.1 build 282343 freshly downloaded and installed on my ubuntu NAS....

you have to point the USB port your Meteohub should use to the VM. VM-Player has options to do this. Please consult the VM-Player manual how to do this exactly.

how?

as in VMWARE for linux, there's almost no option for USB.
You can only tick:
- enable high speed support for USB2 devices
- automatically connect new devices
- show all usb input devices

2 & 3rd are ticked, I tried to change, when I check in the linux image, there's no /dev/ttyUSB0
very strange;
did it happen to someone elsE???
thanks

well, I managed to connect the USB in the icon the station WMR200 is recognized! (and dedicate the USB WMR200 (universal bridge) to the VM...)
but now I can not see my sensors in the sensors page...
i got an error in read, cant read usb ... (the station is connected in USB HID...)

did it happen to someone else?
thanks
