Keep calm. Reboot the box. At the GRUB menu, select Qubes and press "e" - these instructions are at the bottom of the screen. This will allow you to edit the boot options - delete the pesky "rd.qubes.hide_all_usb" everywhere you see it. F10 or Ctrl-x to boot. That should get you in to Qubes, and you will be able to correct the situation. Good Luck unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
