I have:
- host: Kubuntu 18.04 fresh install + kvm + virt-manager
- guest: Kubuntu 18.04 fresh install
I plug an external drive in host and it is visible in sudo lsusb
In virt-manager for a vm I select the disk from the menu "virtual machine" -> "USB device redirection" popup window.
The disk is visible and selectable.
But inside the VM the disk is not visible also sudo lsusb do not show any disk
Tried the operations with the VM turned off and the VM turned on: nothing changes
What can I do?
usb kubuntu kvm

I must admit the menu is disabled for me, but to check the base tech I used a 18.04 host/guest and added a fingerprint reader by xml-definition viavirsh attach-device b1 usb.xmljust fine. You might want to check in your case the guest (/var/log/libvirt/qemu/<guestname>.log) log as well as dmesg if you hit anything preventing the passthrough.

I must admit the menu is disabled for me, but to check the base tech I used a 18.04 host/guest and added a fingerprint reader by xml-definition viavirsh attach-device b1 usb.xmljust fine. You might want to check in your case the guest (/var/log/libvirt/qemu/<guestname>.log) log as well as dmesg if you hit anything preventing the passthrough.
