Have you changed the devices assigned to sys-usb? If so, it's possible you're running into a pci_strictreset issue here? Try running this in dom0 (but before you do, make sure you understand the risks [1]): $ qvm-prefs -s sys-usb pci_strictreset false Then try starting sys-usb again: $ qvm-start sys-usb Let us know if there are any useful error messages. > and detaching a USB flash drive using the VM Manager always give me a blank > window with the text "Houston, we have a problem..." and freezes the VM > Manager.

Try detaching it from the command-line instead: $ qvm-block -d <device-vm-name>:<device> Or just: $ qvm-block -d <vm-name> And let us know if there are any useful error messages. > If I restart the VM with the attached USB device it gives me another error > "AssertionError: This is most likely a bug in the Qubes Manager" and the VM > is killed. (Note I did this with a DisposableVM). Errors are to be expected when restarting a VM with USB devices still attached.

If you have a backup of the data already, try reformatting it. If your VM is based on an unusual template, that could also be a clue. > If I attache the USB flash drive to any other VM "fdisk -l" does not show any > attached flash drive. If you attach the drive to another VM, what is the output of this command? $ qvm-block -l If the drive is really attached, it should indicate that in the output of the above command. > I am currently in China, so I cannot reach google with the laptop running > Qubes until I get a socks proxy set up and tor is block in China (any bridges > I have tried are quickly blocked). > > Any help would be helpful.
