Qubes OS R4.02-rc2-86_64
I would like to have network connection and USB support.  On installation 
to a Toshiba laptop and booting up the first time, I was able to use a USB 
mouse and selected the enable system and template updates over the Tor 
anonymity network using Whonix and the combined net and usb qube option.

The system rebooted.  It reported:
(Dom0) Error starting Qube!
Start failed: internal error: Unable to reset PCI device 0000.00:14: 
internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain /sys-net', see 
/var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log.   When attempting to read the log, 
permission denied was returned.
The USB mouse did not work.

I would expect to see sys-net to connect, USB mouse to work, and be able to 
view the referenced file.  The first two failed and when attempting to view 
the referenced file with cat, the system reported permission denied.  I can 
cd to 'var', then 'log', but when cd to libvirt, I get a permission denied.

How might I go about resolving the sysnet/usb issue and how might I access 
the referenced file?

I attempted to start sys-net from the qube manager but the computer 
rebooted.

Used Rufus 3.4 to write Qubes-R4.0.2-rc3-x86_64.iso the 32GB stick as a 
DD.  Installed Qubes OS without Using sys-net for both networking and USB.
System rebooted
Saw Debian loading, Qubes configuration, setting up networking ... Screen 
went black, after touching touch pad:
[Dom0] error
['systemctl', 'start', '[email protected]'] failed:
stdout:""
stderr:"Job for [email protected] failed because the control process 
exited with error code.  
See 'systemctl status [email protected]' and "journalctl -xe" for 
details.
OK

Then the initial setup page started
stated
System 
Qubes os
Clicking on "Qubes OS" openned up the page that provides for a repeated 
selection opportunity setups such as 'Create default system qubes, Creat 
defau...Use sys-net qube for both networking and USB devices.  
I did not change any (left sys-net for USB unchecked).
I selected 'Done'
It started Qubes OS Setup again.  


New error message:
[Dom0] Error
['/usr/bin/qvm-start-firewall] failed:
stdout:""
stderr: "domain sys-firewall is already running"
OK

I repeated the click on Qubes OS and the configuration started again.  

The previous error repeated.

Rather than clicking on Qubes OS, I clicked on Finish Configuration.  

A sign-on screen came up.  I successfully logged in.  
As this is a 4K display, the font is very small so I openned System 
tools|display and an icon came up on the desktop (usually, it just opens 
the tool).  When I clicked the icon, a warning came up as Dom0 Untrusted 
application launcher stating the executable not in the right location and 
stated to open it if I trusted it.  I clicked on it and a second pop up 
opened stating the launch failed, something about a wrong location.  
So I closed these to start again from the menu.  This time it worked (I can 
read the display much better at lower resolution).  I removed the icon from 
the desktop.

Qube Manager shows sys-firewall and sys-net running.  A red icon in the 
upper right corner displays no network connected.  Clicking on the red icon 
produced a menu to select Ethernet or wireless with an ID of my hotspot.  
After finally entering the correct password, it stated a connection was 
made.  I started a fedora firefox and was able to browse.

It has taken four years to get to here.  I have tried this with Debian and 
Qube OS.  I could not get Xen on Debian to work due to my wireless only 
networking of my laptop.  With Qubes, it has been getting wireless and USB 
to both work.  This time, wireless worked maybe.

There is a sys-USB qube.  This will be my next challenge.  I want to be 
able to use a mouse and, as this is a laptop, and I would like to connect 
to my USB3 docking station and test out the functionality.  

I appreciate the help from everyone here in helping me learn.
