(Get the code!)
Thanks for the reply!
First of all, vlc was a type. Should have been vnc. If I restart the vnc viewer (client) the mouse still does not work. Even connecting from another computer does not seem to fix the problem.
I'm using Virtual Machine Manager (virt-manager) to assign the usb-device to the guest. I do this by clicing on 'Add device', select USB Host device, then select the usb external hard drive and click 'Apply'. After this action, the hard drive is visible and working on the guest.
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with libvirt 1.2.2. Here is my xml-file before and after adding the usb device:
A little more information I discovered:
I told before that the mouse only stops working when making the vnc viewer (client) inactive. This is not true after some more testing. It just happens when adding the usb external storage device to the guest and wait for like 10 seconds. Then the mouse stops working (clicking, moving...). The keyboard still works without any problems. I'm sorry for the wrong information above.
