I'm attempting to pass through a YubiKey 5C to a Windows guest from a Ubuntu 22.04 host running Workstation Pro 17.02. It never shows in the list... However, I am able to pass through the same YubiKey to the same guest VM from a Windows 10 host, running Workstation Pro 17.02. Any ideas?
The device does show in my lsusb list on the Ubuntu host.
Linux host:
Windows host:
Try one or both of these if you haven’t already done so
(1) Stop the pcscd service of the Ubuntu host before starting VMware Workstation
(2) Shut down the VM and add/modify the following lines to the vmx configuration file; the line beginning with # is just for comment/explanation
#enable the exclusive mode CCID
usb.generic.allowCCID = "TRUE"
#disable shared CCID
usb.ccid.disable = "TRUE"
Unfortunately neither of these options helped.
Well, here I go with apples to oranges again. I have an IoT device that did similar. It was a permission problem in /dev.
When I plug in the device, it showed up in lsusb but I could not access it. It lists in the /dev directory as a tty device ttyACM0 (just looked at /dev with/without the device). Had to change permissions on the dev with sudo chmod. Might be worth a look.
