howdy peeps,
little issue with devices
i am not able to see or attach usb device to qube.
i have microphone that says can be attached to qubes in the usb list in the system tray.
but the webcam that i have plugged in does not appear in the list.
it does appear in the lsusb, but not in xl usb-list
You asked for the best and easiest way to achieve updating Qubes OS to the latest stable release, so I provided a clean installation method as requested.
any, I’m asking a simple question… how do I pass the device through to the guest? It should work with a webcam, or USB drive, or headset, or microphone, or anything… .
Is it sure that a usb storage key is normally usable, when you connect it in place of the camera? (to be sure it is the device not the socket.
My procedure was:
Identify the USB hub where the unusable device is connected
Identify the PCI device where the hub is
Verify that the PCI device is attached to sys-usb
Verify that the PCI device is not in the same IOMMU group as some other device (I don’t know how to do that in Qubes-OS)
Variously, lsusb, lspci, qvm-device usb/PCI/etc can be helpful commands.
( My case was that some anonymous stupid person had persistently attached the USB controller to Dom0, but had not identified all the USB sockets it handled)
