Re: Unable to share USB devices VM

 

I just mean, that it's probably an issue with your vmware configuration and
not Vaio z  hardware compatibility with Linux. Your user needs to be in the
right group for USB pass through to work. Check the documentation, I I'm
not at my PC to offer any better help sorry.
