For mageaia, you have to give root password to access to  USB drives in a virtual machine, while in debian root does not give any possibility (access is not allowed).<br /><br /> Could you then give some insights on how to avoid these annoying constraints from root (as you don't need to know root password in Gnome or in KDE to access a USB key) ?<br /><br /> It is may be an obvious request (something in /etc/udev for instance), but it is not clear for me to understand what to do in the case of spice-gtk.<br /><br /> Thanks.</blockquote> <blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; border-left: #1010ff 2px solid; margin-left: 5px; width: 100%;"><br /></blockquote> <blockquote style="padding-left: 5px; border-left: #1010ff 2px solid; margin-left: 5px; width: 100%;"><br /></blockquote> <p>Here is for instance a message from a Debian (wheezy) Desktop when  I plug a USB key with spice-gtk :</p> <p>Could not auto-redirect USB Mass Storage USB Mass Storage [0ef5:2366] at 3-2: Could not open usb device: Access denied (insufficient permissions) [-3]</p> <div> <p>--</p> <div style="color: #617d8c;"> <h4>Dominique Rodrigues</h4> </div> <div style="color: #617d8c;"><strong>nanoClouD</strong><br /> 8, rue Lemercier<br /> 75017 Paris<br /> France<br /> standard : +33 1 77 69 64 38</div> <div style="color: #617d8c;"><span style="color: #617d8c;">529 002 743 R.C.S.
