Cannot forward USB to Debian machine

[rjbaw]

Hi, I cannot forward my USB device to my linux machine. I am using macOS 15.0 and NoMachine 8.13.1. I have attached my logs in this thread.

Hi

Can you provide more information?

What is the device you are trying to forward?
Can you see usb devices in usb forwarding tab? If not; is the “Local devices” and “Remote devices” line grayed out?
Have you other usb sharing software?(eg. Usb Network Gate)
Can you check if forwarding works on different machines?

The device I am trying to forward is Yubikey 5 (Its has worked rather reliably in the past).

I can see the device and can start the forwarding steps but it fails at the final step where there red circle with an exclamation mark instead of a green circle for success. No I do not use any other usb sharing software.

(Maybe relevant) I have gnupg2 installed using MacPorts,  it comes bundled with wget. I don’t activate gpg-agent or always kill gpg-agent before forwarding Yubikey but it is not reliable in terms of forwarding success.

I only have one MacBook.

Have you tried forwarding other usb devices? Can you see remote usb devices that are pluged in on linux?
What is the result of running this command on linux machine:
sudo /usr/NX/scripts/restricted/nxusb.sh 0 0 --install-module

Cannot compile USB module

USB module has been installed successfully

I have given up and used gpg-agent forwarding instead. Now there is no usb device being displayed available for forwarding.
