I'm using HID Omnikey 3121 smartcard reader and I'm trying to use in virtual box windows 7 vm. On ubuntu(16.04) side I installed pcsc drivers and I see using pscs_scan command that device is connected and smart card is inserted. The problem is that I can not see this device in vm.

In virtual box I have "Enable USB controller" checked but devices but i see "no devices available" when trying to add smart card reader.

What should I do?

As a solution: Make sure the VirtualBox Extension Pack is installed and also make sure to be a member of the vboxusers group (see commands below).

  1. Make sure the group exists: sudo groupadd vboxusers

  2. Add yourself to this group: sudo usermod -aG vboxusers ${USER}

  3. Logout and login again (or reboot)

Good luck!
