Re: [qubes-users] Xfburn not seeing usb

[Shawn Creighton]

I installed gnome-disk-utility and it sees the usb so I was able to format 
it, but when I try to flash it the .iso I downloaded is grayed out. Any way 
to make that accessible?

I don't have a sys-usb, just sys-net and sys-firewall. I tried running sudo 
qubesctl state.sls qvm.sys-usb but it didn't work, output says something 
like:

the following requisites were not found: 
require:
sls: qvm.sys-net

You may need to run the software in the VM which contains the physical
hardware (e.g. the USB controller}. Passing a memory device generally works
but when you need special access to the physical hardware such as burning a
DVD then this pass-through method may not work correctly.

If your USB controller is in sys-usb then running Xfburn or Brasero there
is the best option. If not, and you have several USB controllers, you might
want to investigate creating a sys-usb for that purpose. Otherwise then you
may need to decide if you want to install a DvD burning package directly in
dom0, which generally should be avoided if possible.
