[Xastir] Serial connection with virtual machine issue???

[Steve Rogers]

Hello,
      I was unsuccessful to get virtualbox or VMware workstation to allow host serial port to
Access ubuntu 20.04 guest. I installed both from GitHub and unable to transmit using windows 10. I used these programs from Linux and tried xastir from various distros and even Bsd. I of course got permissions for dialout and dev/ttyS0. I tried using com 2 and /dev/ttyS1 and still nothing. I prefer using raspberry pi cost effective and using ra-25 soundcard interface with direwolf soundcard tnc. But I no longer use xastir as I was told that I am some sort of spy. And aprs is a spyware on this county of secretive hams with secret channels like 144.390. Anyways I given up on windows 10 and rpi would be better!

Hi Jim,

I sometimes apply an "opposite" solution using UI-View in a Windows VM
with Linux host and a SCS Tracker TNC on USB port.
Serial use from Windows ton Linux is probably the same concept for you.

Following Steve's advice, may be can you catch the physical serial port
from your Win10 host session to the Linux VM.
