can't connect to USB with centOS stream on virtualbox
Hi everyone, I am using centOS stream 9 on virtualbox on a ubuntu 20.04 host. I have installed virtualbox extensions, have updated the linux kernel headers, have added the vboxsf users group but I still can't connect USB's or my android phone to the centOS vm. Can someone please help me ?
Re: can't connect to USB with centOS stream on virtualbox
If you cannot attach the USB device to the VM then that would be a VBox problem and you'd need to ask in a VBox venue.
If you can attach it but it isn't visible or isn't working in CentOS then that may be something to ask about here. If so then open a command prompt on the CentOS VM and run `dmesg -Tw` then attach the device to the VM and watch to see if any messages come out from the dmesg command as you do so.

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: can't connect to USB with centOS stream on virtualbox
Well that's a VBox error so you need to ask in a VBox venue - they have a forum. However at a guess based on the "Error: VERR_PDM_NO_USB_PORTS", have you added a USB controller of the right version to the VM and enabled it? That's a setting in the VBox settings for that VM.

and then reconnecting the phone under Devices --> USB --> selecting my galaxy s21 results in this error below:

That's almost certainly a USB 3.x device.
