Hello,since the first days using Qubes I made notes how I setup my templates and AppVMs to able to rebuild my system from scratch if parts of it get compromised or if I migrate the system to other hardware. I have been able to rebuild all my Sys-VMs (sys-net / sys-firewall / sys-usb) from a fedora-26-minimal and fedora-28-minimal template but I am struggling to do the same from a fedora-29-minimal template: I am unable to get a working sys-usb AppVM. Steps to reproduce: #base template template=fedora-29-minimal #name of the new custom build template systemplate=t-fedora-29-sys #clone template qvm-clone $template $systemplate # update template qvm-run --auto --user root --pass-io --no-gui $systemplate 'dnf update -y' # install a missing package for fedora-29-minimal without it, gui-apps will not start qvm-run --auto --user root --pass-io --no-gui $systemplate 'dnf install -y e2fsprogs' # Install required packages for Sys-VMs qvm-run --auto --user root --pass-io --no-gui $systemplate \ 'dnf -y install qubes-core-agent-qrexec qubes-core-agent-systemd \ qubes-core-agent-networking polkit qubes-core-agent-network-manager \ notification-daemon qubes-core-agent-dom0-updates qubes-usb-proxy \ iwl6000g2a-firmware qubes-input-proxy-sender iproute iputils \ NetworkManager-openvpn NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome \ NetworkManager-wwan NetworkManager-wifi network-manager-applet' I use this new template as base for my sys-net and sys-firewall AppVms everything works, but sys-usb will not work as USB devices can't be mounted, even within the sys-usb VM. QUESTION: Any idea what I am missing, to get a sys-usb AppVM which is based on a custom build fedora-29-minimal based template? If I use the default (fat) fedora-29 AppVM from the Qubes Repository as Template for sys-usb, it is working fine. So it is possible to use fedora-29 for sys-usb, but it seems that I am missing some part to get it work when building a template from the ground up Uusing fedora-29-minimal as base template)
This worked first try for me using your package list. I was able to use both qvm-block to attach and browse a USB drive's partition, as well as qvm-usb to pass the entire device. Could you be missing firmware for your USB controller?
