problems with Gemplus USB SmartCard Reader on osol-130 (x64) with VirtualBox 3.1.2 => fixed in SVN

[risto3]

Not sure how to proceed... Have checked privileges and all, but I keep getting the famous acces denied... and it seems that the device is "held" instead of "captured". Do I need to do some type of cfgadm magic?

access denied

Please try:

pfexec chmod a+rw /dev/vboxusbmon

Did you install the package through IPS/pkg(5)? If so you could alternatively close all VBox processses and run:

pfexec /opt/VirtualBox/ipsinstall.sh

This is a bug and will be fixed in subsequent release. Thanks for reporting.

VBox.log for failing session

[Ramshankar Venkataraman]

Next time could you please attach the VBox.log as a file rather than pasting it, I've attached it for you this time. Thank you.

[risto3]

Hi, sorry for the log... next time.

Installed with pkg install.. already tried uninstall/[re]install...

bash-4.0$ pfexec ls -laph /dev/vboxusbmon

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 2009-09-04 13:05 /dev/vboxusbmon -> ../devices/pseudo/vboxusbmon@0:vboxusbmon

bash-4.0$ pfexec /opt/VirtualBox/ipsinstall.sh
Checking for older & partially installed bits...
can't unload the module: Device busy
   - Unloading: USB  ...FAILED!
## ERROR!! Failed to remove older/partially installed bits.

As I'm not using the opensourced bits, is there a possibility to get a new binary to try?

Thanks in advance.

Did you close all VBox VMs before running the script?

In any case the chmod'ing of /dev/vboxusbmon should fix your problem.

[risto3]

Hello, I'm not sure I follow... are you saying that chmod a+rw /dev/vboxusbmon when it is _already_ rw will fix it? Strange, but I'll try. In any event, the VBox VM was closed before running the script... even tried in single-user mode (with the same resulting erreur).

after pkg uninstall virtualbox and install via pkgadd the downloaded 3.1.2, the device is seen but apparently doesn't communicate correctly. logs to be attached

[risto3]

diag file saying reader seen but no card (card works fine with same reader on native XP)

BTW for the GL problem...

bash-4.0# find / -name libGL.so.1 /usr/X11/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/X11/lib/NVIDIA/libGL.so.1 /usr/X11/lib/NVIDIA/amd64/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/GL/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/GL/amd64/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/mesa/amd64/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/amd64/libGL.so.1 /var/run/opengl/lib/amd64/libGL.so.1 /var/run/opengl/lib/libGL.so.1

To understand the problem again properly, when you click the device from the menu you get an access denied error? Could you please paste here output of "modinfo | grep vb".
