Hello Forum,
I’m trying to migrate away from virt-manager and setting up VMs in LXC, the tutorial for Windows 10 works great! How to run a Windows virtual machine on LXD on Linux – Mi blog lah!
But I am hitting a minor issue when trying to redirect USB to my VM, when I select “USB Devices” and select my USB Drive, I get this error message:
How can I grant/assign/workaround this permission?
Many thanks,
Peter
Did a quick google on this. It is possible to configure udev rules.
To do this, run usb-devices, find the vendor ID, then add a udev rule for your USB device, in my case SanDisk USB.
T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=03 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=5000 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 3.20 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 9 #Cfgs= 1

Create your rule, in my case I created 10-sandisk.rules:
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-sandisk.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0781", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0781", MODE="0666"
$ sudo systemctl restart systemd-udevd.service
Remove/re-insert your USB, add rediction, it should now work!
