Now that's a different call - I used to use udev triggers when USB devices were introduced, but havent looked at them for a while. If you want to automatically start a Windnows qube with device attached when you plug it in to sys-usb, I may be able to help tomorrow. Also, there's a suggestion here that you want to attch the device to a running Windows qube - honestly, I have never succeeded in doing that, but I dont use Windows to any real extent. Maybe someone else has done? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
