I'm trying to get my ST-8300M camera working with indiserver and the sbig driver. I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 running in a VirtualBox VM provisioned with Vagrant and hosted on OSX Yosemite.

The device shows up in lsusb:
When I try to connect to it on port "sbigusb0" I get the following message:
I've set every debug level to the maximum everywhere I can find it and I can't get any more information. I've also tried running indiserver in its own shell in super verbose mode (vvv) and there's no information other than the "Camera not Found" message.

Is there any way to debug this other than building the driver myself and stepping through the code with GDB? I'd like to help myself, but I seem to be the only person to have this problem as there are no other forum posts about it.

Well, it doesn't look like a permission issue since it already loaded the firmware, and you can't debug much further because SBIG provides a binary blob library. Perhaps what I would try next is to run indiserver as root, but I doubt this would help.

Thanks for the reply krno. I gave up trying to get indiserver working on the VM and instead spent some time getting it running directly on the Mac. After some fixes to the cmake setup and sbig driver code I was able to get it running and connect to the camera. It's possible there's an issue with the USB device when VirtualBox reconnects it to the VM. My ultimate goal is getting the server running on a Raspberry Pi so this isn't a big problem.
