ya I concur, just try deleting all sys-usb vms and then rerun qubesctl top.enable qvm.sys-usb and just use that for your usb controller(s) I had run into the same problem before trying to switch the controller to another usbvm. didn't bother to do the strictset. Although that was back in 3.1 I thought things were supposed to be easier now. I think we can add single usb devices to diff vms. I haven't tried this. I hope soon will work for hvms as well if not yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
