Turn on Logging for USB Redirection
You can use USB logs to troubleshoot and to determine the product ID and vendor ID of various devices
you plug in to the client system.
You can enable trace logging either just for the current session or across reboots. To enable logging for the
current session, you use a shell command. To enable logging across reboots, add the shell command to the
appropriate profile file.
Prerequisites
If you plan to configure trace logging to persist across system reboots, you must have Administrator or root
permissions on the client system. This prerequisite does not apply if you plan to enable logging for the
current session only.
Procedure
n
To enable logging for the current session only, use the launchctl command.
a Quit Horizon Client so that the USB service daemon is stopped.
b Open a shell (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) as the same user who starts Horizon Client.
c Use the following command:
launchctl setenv VMWARE_VIEW_USBD_LOG_OPTIONS "-o log:trace"
d Restart Horizon Client.
n
To enable logging across reboots, add the launchctl command to the appropriate shell rc or profile file
for your choice of shell, such as ~/.bash_profile for the default Mac OS X shell.
Following is an example of the launchctl command to add:
setenv VMWARE_VIEW_USBD_LOG_OPTIONS "-o log:trace"
Using the Real-Time Audio-Video Feature for Webcams and
Microphones
With the Real-Time Audio-Video feature, you can use your local computer's webcam or microphone on
your remote desktop. Real-Time Audio-Video is compatible with standard conferencing applications and
browser-based video applications, and supports standard webcams, audio USB devices, and analog audio
input.
For information about setting up the Real-Time Audio-Video feature and configuring the frame rate and
image resolution in a remote desktop, see the VMware Horizon View Feature Pack Installation and
Administration document (for View 5.3.x desktops) or the Setting Up Desktop and Application Pools in View
document (for Horizon 6.0 with View and later desktops). For information about configuring these settings
on client systems, see the VMware knowledge base article Setting Frame Rates and Resolution for Real-Time
Audio-Video on Horizon View Clients, at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2053644.
