Server won't start on Ubuntu

Forums

Hello, I've just setup a new Ubuntu 14.04 server and installed VH (vhusbdx86_64 v2.6.2), but it won't start either in foreground, background or at startup. Syslog shows:

>>> Starting v2.6.2 (Built: Nov 26 2015, 20:49:28)<<<
Using configuration /usr/sbin/config.ini
Server licensed to=unlicensed max_devices=1
Using large URB's
TCPServer starting...
Error starting server
>>> Shutdown <<<

This is all within the space of a second.

That config.ini file only contains:

Use of VirtualHere with PI and Audio Interface

Forums

Hello

I have a licensed copy of the server running on a Raspberry PI (not v2). It is connected to a USB hub and into that are a USB<->RS232 interface. This is connected to my Ham Radio Transceiver. This is working fine.

I also wish to share the audio interface attached to my transceiver. This is a Signalink USB Audio Codec. When I plug it into a PC and look at its properties I can see the following: USB\VID_08BB&PID_2904&REV_0100&MI_00; USB\VID_08BB&PID_2904&MI_00

Feature request: show NETBIOS pc name as well as user name in addition to client IP

Forums

Michael,

It would be nice and useful to show in client not only the IP address of the client who is using the device but also the NETBIOS name and client username (if possible)

For example: 10.10.10.100 (username@DOMAIN at PCNAME)
Now it's quite hard to find out who is using the device especially when PCs get their IPs by DHCP and users are sitting in different rooms)

Mac Client v3.0.9 doesn't report available update

Forums

<p>I just wanted to report a bug: I noticed that my Mac Client still has v3.0.9. If I open up the Client Window and click on "Check for Updates" in the right-click Context-Menu, it keeps on saying "You have the latest version of the client". I guess that's not intended when v3.2.5 is available via the VH Website?</p>

Windows Client as service

Forums

Hi.

I installed the virtualhere server on my Raspberry Pi and am using the client on a Windows Server 2012 R2. The server seems to work perfectly as a service. The USB device becomes shared when the Pi is rebooted etc.
On the client side however the USB device does not appear in the device manager even though it is shown with a star (*) in the dialog that is shown when using the "LIST"-command. I have not installed Bonjour, but added a manual hub and configured the device to be auto-used.

UPS on QNAP

Forums

I've got a Cyberpower UPS connected via USB to my QNAP NAS. The QNAP built in software detects it as a valid UPS but I prefer to use the UPS USB connection shared out to a VM via VirtualHere. I'm wondering if ths built in software conflicts with it as the Cyberpower software is unable to detect the device even though I can successfully 'use' it from the Windows client but it shows up as just a 'USB input device'.

COM (serial-to-usb) device appears twice on Win7 device manager - only one instance working

Forums

Hi,

setup:
client - win7, vh 3.2.4
server - rpi2, vh 2.6.0, Prolific USB-to-serial device

Usually all works well, a single COM port appears on device manager on Win7.

Once in 2-3 days or so, I reach a case where the "COM" stops functioning.
Then, if selecting 'stop using' and the 'Auto-use port' on VH client, a second functional COM port is added to device manager.
(i.e. the 1'st 'non functioning' com port remains visible on the device manager list)

WiFi dongle stops working, Win7 client, error 10054 appears in vh log

Forums

Hello,

Setup:
client - win7, vh 3.2.4
server - rpi2, vh 2.6.0, Wifi dongle EW-7822 (note: USB3.0)

Usually all works well.
Once in 2-3 days of extensive usage, I reach a case where dongle stops working:
- On Win7 WiFi dialog, no networks are visible
- both Win7 and VH display the device, as usual. Then after restarting VH client, the device no longer displayed neither on VH or on Win7.
