is it possible to use ledger wallet in Whonix?
When i trying to connect ledger to local Mycrypto wallet output is
“Your Ledger is currently in use with another application. Please wait, or close other wallet applications before trying again.”
When i trying to connect ledger to Metamask extension it’s fail in endless connection and never success.
What i did:
Whonix-Gateway-XFCE and Whonix-Workstation-XFCE
Install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.0.14.vbox-extpack
USB 3.0 - ledger nano s
sudo adduser $(whoami) vboxusers

Unfortunately this is undocumented, unsupported at time of writing.

Doable in theory. Known to work in Qubes-Whonix.

Whonix does not take deliberate steps to prevent use of Ledger. But:
- Using Ledger on (Debian) Linux can be challenging. (non-Whonix issue)
- Using USB devices with VirtualBox can be challenging. (non-Whonix issue)

Once you’ve mastered above issues (as per Free Support for Whonix ™), Whonix will probably not in your way.
