Re: [qubes-users] 3.0 to 3.1 in place upgrade broke USB VMs
Sounds like it could have been introduced in R3.1 Xen 4.6 for you specifically due to your hardware. If that's the case, it wouldn't be a good idea to note this on the page, since it might not apply to others. - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org Thanks Andrew. That's interesting, I'd assumed it was a binary proposition introduced in 4.6 having only briefly scanned http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/391684 If not I take your point however I still feel it should be referenced in some way on the upgrade instructions page to stop others potentially wasting the same time I did, and subsequently the lists time IF they run into it. If the issue does not apply to users hardware, user will simply have no problem with their existing device to VM assignments and proposed note is ignored. Without a note, if it does apply to their hardware they may (stupidly) like me read the existing FAQ entry and assume pci strictreset is not the problem as otherwise problem would have begun in R3.0... So perhaps it's the FAQ entry that needs clarifying? From a naive point of view, it makes sense that USB controllers might share some resources but on what appears to be "sensible" hardware that has one controller for USB ports and another for webcam etc it came as more of a surprise.

Re: [qubes-users] 3.0 to 3.1 in place upgrade broke USB VMs
Apologies, this appears to be the shared RMRR problem discussed in https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1544 This is indeed in the FAQ, but I was thrown by the doc at https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/user-faq/#i-created-a-usbvm-and-assigned-usb-controllers-to-it-now-the-usbvm-wont-boot stating the problem began in R3.0, when by this experience it actually seems to have been introduced in R3.1 xen 4.6?. Pity as it was nice having USB ports and built-in USB devices in separate VMs. Although I guess it's for the best, as I was relying on the reset ability which apparently wasn't supported by the hardware... In any case, worth a note on https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/upgrade-to-r3.1/ page? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] 3.0 to 3.1 in place upgrade broke USB VMs
The in place upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 broke my two USB VMs (one controller with ports, one controller with devices) which were both set to auto start and working on 3.0. The error is similar to that where devices are assigned to another running VM - this is not the case however. livirt.libvirtError: Requested operation is not valid: PCI device xyz is in use by driver xenlight, domain usbvm sys-net still auto starts and everything else seems to work. Both VMs start fine without the USB devices assigned. I've tried hiding the devices from dom0 in case this made any difference using the kernel line in the docs, but this has made no difference.
