[21:11] ahoi [21:23] ... [22:08] 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. [22:10] what hardware exactly? [22:10] if a cardreader does not work OOTB, it might never work. some cardreaders are not supported. [22:11] lspci # and look for the cardreader line, post that here [22:11] its a d-card reader for my wifes sewing machine [22:11] is it connected with usb? try lsusb [22:12] ( in terminal ) [22:12] 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] I installed the extensions in virtualbox and made filters for the usb devices and all that seems to work [22:13] I wondered that if linux does not recognise it then virtualbox cant use it perhaps? [22:14] perhaps need a udev rule for it but now I am just guessing. [22:14] that is to find out, paste the usb line here? [22:15] Bus 001 Device 005: ID 09ed:0010 Viking Sewing Machines Viking USB Reader/Writer [22:18] i don't find any post about that one. [22:19] no it is specific to husqvarna sewing machines so a bit wierd and it quite old [22:20] 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 [22:22] virtualbox is seing that it is connected and installs the driver ok but when I try to read/write virtualbox crashes [22:23] and I know the USB in virtualbox is working because the software uses a HASP dongle that is working [22:24] 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. [22:25] it does not appear as an external drive on the xubuntu machine [22:29] I cant find anything on it either oerheks but I appreciate you trying to help very much [22:32] oke, find another card reader, they are not that expensive [22:35] 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 [22:39] and the card has a built in key pad so its very wierd indeed [22:40] hi
