In addition to the above, if the template does not have the Qubes USB Proxy instealled, then it needs to be installed in order to use the qvm-usb functionality (to pass USB to a VM). Otherwise, one will only have USB in the sys-usb (or whichever name one chooses to give it). It's my understanding this package is what sets the sys-usb different from all other VM's. It can also be installed in debian. Look here https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb/ Scroll down to near the bottom (or use Ctrl+f to search) and look for the headlines containing "Qubes-Proxy-USB". Warning: DO NOT use the "create sys-usb" part of the guide, unless you know the implications of it. For example, if you have a machine which only have USB keyboard/mouse input, and you use these commands to automatically make a sys-usb, then you might risk having a system that no longer can communicate with your keyboard or mouse if the USB controller your keyvoard and mosue relies on, no longer can communicate with dom0. The guide in the link also tells one how to do this with sys-usb, so you need to be sure you know what you're doing if you rely on your USB keyboard/mouse. If you don't have a PS/2 port with keyboard or mouse, or some other way to communicate, then you'll have a hard time to "undo" this mistake. In other words, be sure Qubes don't looses the USB controller it relies on to keep your USB keyboard/mouse working, or alternatively be sure the sys-usb sends mouse/keyboard input back to dom0 before it activates. Be careful, and one should probably make a backup of all ones qubes before you make a sys-usb, just in case you make a mistake. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
