wine and usb

dauriac · 2019-03-12 20:16:08

Hello,

I have installed wine without problem. However the USB device are not detected. According to
https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_User%27s_G … ine_start]
I should symlink a device /dev/ttyUSB to a com. But I have no such device in /dev. Below my archlinux version:

more /proc/version 
Linux version 4.20.7-arch1-1-ARCH (builduser@heftig-13691) (gcc version 8.2.1 20
181127 (GCC)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 6 18:42:40 UTC 2019

Where can I find a post to solve my problem ?

Thank you !
JC

What's the output of

pacman -Q linux

? if that version differs from what you posted above, you must reboot into the new kernel to ensure that it can load modules. This has nothing to do with wine yet.

dauriac@megajack:~$ pacman -Q linux
linux 4.20.7.arch1-1

it seems it is in agreement with /proc/version

I should have mention that the usb devices are properly detected by linux.

dauriac@megajack:~$ lsusb

dauriac@megajack:~$

In fact I want to use a software given by akai (see above) which has no linux version available

ttyUSB is for a serial port (eg. a USB modem), not a general USB.
Likewise I don't think wine allows for generic direct HW access, ie. you will have to make the device accessible by it's function in order to allow wine to use it.

Tbh, I couldn't figure what that device is - some midi keyboard?
What does "dmesg -w" when you plug it into the system?

I doubt that this usb device implements a serial console, so that won't work.

Edit: Too slow.

Virtualbox + virtualbox-ext-oracle (for USB throughput) might work. But you'll need a windows installation.

OK I understand (this explains why the usb keyboard works).

Yes it is an Electronic Wind Instrument :

[805039.002454] usb 2-11: new high-speed USB device number 19 using xhci_hcd
[805039.143143] usb 2-11: New USB device found, idVendor=09e8, idProduct=0020, bcdDevice= a.00
[805039.143150] usb 2-11: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=1, SerialNumber=0
[805039.143154] usb 2-11: Product: EWI5000
[805039.143158] usb 2-11: Manufacturer: Akai Professional

Are you suggesting that wine is not appropriate in my case ?

This is my *only* need of Windows, so probably an emulator is overkill !
But I already installed gnome-boxes and I also had this usb problem (posted in this forum).

Thank you !

gnome boxes is just some frontend (or manager abstraction or whatever), but if the virtual machine is driven by virtualbox, you *need* virtualbox-ext-oracle (AUR) for proper USB2 support.

Wine won't do because it doesn't provide some windows HW abstraction (it's not an emulator ;-)
And you used to need nocd "patches" for games for that reason for sure. So if this is a DRM dongle, that won't work - no.
