Looking for help on solving why i can not connect a physical serial port in workstation 14.
I am using workstation 14 hosted on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 7.5GB, 64bit.
Guest is Windows XP Pro. I have no problem running to vm.
when a I add a serial port to the VM settings: connect at power on checked, Use a physical serial port: checked, Device: Auto detect(this is the only option).
when powering on i get:
Cannot connect the virtual device serial1 because no corresponding device is available.on the host.
Do you want to try to connect this virtual device every time you power on the virtual machine?
Yes
Next window
Error toggling removable device: Serial port serial1 connection operation failed.
ok
Any ideas of how to get the serial ports to show up?
Thank
Todd
