[Hackrf-dev] FATAL: No supported devices found to pick from.

[Chuck McManis]

Since you are running in a VM anyway, consider downloading the Pentoo image
as referenced by the GreatScottGadgets site. That is very plug and play
with the HackRF-1. A long shot would be to look for is whether or not you
are a member of group 'plugdev' since your ls of the dev tree showed that
the hackrf is owned by root and only gives  access to root or members of
group plugdev. I don't think hackrf_info would work though if you weren't.
