One question that just occured to me about upgrading the template VM's. Many of the comments and posts in this forum are assuming Qubes is installed on a laptop. I have it installed on a desktop, and my keyboard / mouse uses sys-usb. I need to have this appVM running to use the peripheral obviously. But, since the appVM is running, I can't update the templateVM?
Is their any workaround, or do I need to go get a ps/2 keyboard and then turn off sys-usb, update the template and then restart it? Is that the only option I have? IT seems like there could be a better way? Thanks!
