oh btw, only VM's that are currently running will appear in the widget, and only devices that are currently visible to Qubes will appear too. So any turned-off VM's, or any devices not working or blocked from Qubes, will not appear. Start the needed VM first, before you tie the device to the VM. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
