In my net trawling, it seems that /proc/bus/usb was removed in Linux kernel 3.5. Mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/proc/bus/usb’: No such file or directory

Mount: mount point /proc/bus/usb does not exist I try to mount /proc/bus/usb as reccommended (same link as above): # mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb If the USB device file system is not located in /proc/bus/usb, you must mount the USB file system to that location.ĭo not attempt to add a USB drive device node directory, for example, /dev/sda, to the virtual machine as a hard disk. On Linux hosts, Workstation Pro uses the USB device file system to connect to USB devices. Workstation 12 Pro Documentation Center says: If you do not have a profile, you may be asked to create one before being able to complete the download process. I think noncomercially it also works without that license upgrade tokam.

This solution worked for me on Linux Mint 19.2 64bit with vmware workstation pro 12.5.9. You may be prompted to log in to complete the download. Can confirm that this works for Ubuntu 18.10, with VMWare Workstation Pro 12.5.9. I want to have the USB HDD at /dev/sdc accessible to VMware Workstation 12.5 (Manjaro Linux host). 12.0 Select the relevant installation package to download from the tabs below.
