I needed a long USB cable for my project and I found it here. Arduino Mega Raspberry Pi Ubuntu. Thank you David.

Thanks!

Very useful for connecting USB devices on one machine from another. However, this solution is a little finnicky when the USB devices suddenly disconnect. (someone unplugs from the other side). Or, if the USB device operates in 2 different modes -- as often occurs with embedded systems which is seen by the linux system as a new USB device entirely. Devices like TI , or Nordic chipsets flip between "normal" (debug) and "device firmware update" mode.

I want to share a usb containing some pictures, where would i access those pictures from on the clinet machine ( ubuntu)?

this video needs an update as "apt install usbip" won't work anymore. the package is not found

i have 2 usb's with same vendor id, do you have a fix for it ? thanks for the video!

thank you for the tutorial. i installed usbip but wasn't able to load the modules. getting "modprobe:FATAL Module usbip_host not found in directory /lib/modules/6.1.19-v8+. however the modules are located in /lib/modules/6.1.19-v8+/kernel/drivers/usb/usbip/ compressed as *.ko.xz

How do I share USB Devices between Windows systems over IP? Currently I'm using RDP+RemoteFX, but the USB device will obviously be disconnected if I disconnect from the RDP session.

What would be the minimum hardware (server) that one could imagine to transport exactly 1x USB into the network? Because I only need computing power on the client. In an ideal World even with POE ;)

I tried to send a usb3.0 capture card over ip. And I could not get it to work. No card worked. Do you think it could be a driver issue? All other usb devices worked.

it would be very helpful to put the commands you copy and paste in the description. I tried it but keep getting tcp connect errors. usbip: error: tcp connect Both devices, the Pi and the VM are are on the same subnet

hey, i am running this in a proxmox LXC container but i cannot get it to make these command work : modprobe vhci-hcd echo 'vhci-hcd' >> /etc/modules i'm guessing these need to be runned at the host shell right ? because when i try to run them in the container it says : modprobe: FATAL: Module vhci-hcd not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.102-1-pve and when i try to start the service none the less it says Job for usbip.service failed because the control process exited with error code. and the error code is Mar 26 19:43:39 octoprint-debian systemd[1]: Starting usbip client... Mar 26 19:43:39 octoprint-debian bash[15069]: usbip: error: import device Mar 26 19:43:39 octoprint-debian bash[15074]: usbip: error: import device Mar 26 19:43:39 octoprint-debian systemd[1]: usbip.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Mar 26 19:43:39 octoprint-debian systemd[1]: usbip.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. Mar 26 19:43:39 octoprint-debian systemd[1]: Failed to start usbip client.

how to share over the internet, i can't find a single video, all are for local networks
