This is an option on installation. If you didn't create it before then you can do so manually or by using salt in dom0: sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.sys-usb Have a look at www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb/ Be warned that the salt formula will hid the usb controllers from dom0 - if yo use a USB keyboard on boot this is not what you want for obvious reasons. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
