| CornishPisky | Hi all. Can anyone offer me some advice using virtualbox with Xubuntu 20.04 as host and windows XP as guest trying to get a proprietry card reader to work please? At a loss and have a couple of questions please. | 22:08 |
| oerheks | what hardware exactly? | 22:10 |
| oerheks | if a cardreader does not work OOTB, it might never work. some cardreaders are not supported. | 22:10 |
| oerheks | lspci # and look for the cardreader line, post that here | 22:11 |
| CornishPisky | its a d-card reader for my wifes sewing machine | 22:11 |
| oerheks | is it connected with usb? try lsusb | 22:11 |
| oerheks | ( in terminal ) | 22:12 |
| CornishPisky | when I run lsusb it is there and in windows the driver is installed but when I write to it everything hangs up | 22:12 |
| CornishPisky | I installed the extensions in virtualbox and made filters for the usb devices and all that seems to work | 22:12 |
| CornishPisky | I wondered that if linux does not recognise it then virtualbox cant use it perhaps? | 22:13 |
| CornishPisky | perhaps need a udev rule for it but now I am just guessing. | 22:14 |
| oerheks | that is to find out, paste the usb line here? | 22:14 |

| oerheks | i don't find any post about that one. | 22:18 |
| CornishPisky | no it is specific to husqvarna sewing machines so a bit wierd and it quite old | 22:19 |
| CornishPisky | from the days of windows XP so trying to get it to work in virtualbox. The software is working but cant get the card reader to work unfortunately | 22:20 |
| CornishPisky | virtualbox is seing that it is connected and installs the driver ok but when I try to read/write virtualbox crashes | 22:22 |
| CornishPisky | and I know the USB in virtualbox is working because the software uses a HASP dongle that is working | 22:23 |
| oerheks | that you could install the driver is not guaranteed it works, if you use the host, put in a card, simple test to find out it works. sofar i find no info at all. | 22:24 |
| CornishPisky | it does not appear as an external drive on the xubuntu machine | 22:25 |
| CornishPisky | I cant find anything on it either oerheks but I appreciate you trying to help very much | 22:29 |
| oerheks | oke, find another card reader, they are not that expensive | 22:32 |
| CornishPisky | not that easy unfortunately because the card is propritry to the sewing machine called a d-card its about the size of a pocket calculator with a sort of chip and pin device like on a bank card | 22:35 |
| CornishPisky | and the card has a built in key pad so its very wierd indeed | 22:39 |
| geekyboi | hi | 22:40 |
