OK, I wiped my Ubuntu VM and started from scratch. I reinstalled everything lime related and started from scratch. After paying more attention this time, I noticed that libusb is not showing the Mini as a device. It shows the USB 3 hub, but doesn’t show the device. Virtualbox does explicitly show that I’ve enabled the limesdr.
I’d expect that the device would be listed in lsusb. Is there a driver that I need to install to get the lime to show up at all? Just to be safe I went through the complete install at: Howto install: Gqrx Gnuradio Soapysdr Pothosware Limesuite on ubuntu but I suspect that this was a waste of time since the device isn’t showing up.
So, should I expect the device to show from a virgin Ubuntu VirtualBox if it is going to work at all?
