It has been a while since I reinstalled the software, but I have been able to enter the password on the login screen consistently, but now I am not able to do so again.
The disk password is fine, but when I get to the login screen, the keyboard is no longer inputting the password. What should I do, I hope there is a solution somewhere.
Maybe use USB keybord with sys-usb and you have some problem with sys-usb qube.
Try to boot with disabled qubes autostart and USB controllers attached to dom0 so your USB keyboard will be connected to dom0 directly without sys-usb:
When you’ll edit the GRUB menu boot entry to add the qubes.skip_autostart you’ll need to remove the rd.qubes.hide_all_usb kernel command line options if you have it and add usbcore.authorized_default=0 kernel command line options if you don’t have it.
Thank you! I was able to type and log in using the method you showed me. However, when I start Qubes, I get an error message and it freezes. Is there anything I can do?
Is it freezing after you start sys-net or after you start sys-usb?
Maybe some PCI device attached to sys-net or sys-usb is causing this issue, try to remove the PCI devices one by one from the qube that is causing the freeze to determine which PCI device is causing this.
Thanks, I think I am using sys-net as sys-usb as well, but when I start any qube, it freezes
Did you update your BIOS firmware?
Check the BIOS settings and enable virtualization (Intel VT-x with EPT or AMD-V with RVI) and IOMMU (Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi (also known as AMD IOMMU)) there if it was disabled for some reason.
Thank you very much for your help, I was able to boot without freezing by setting IOMMU in the Bios to Disabled, setting it to Enabled, and adding qubes.skip_autostart in the GRUB settings.
I was able to type on the login screen after DiskPassword without any problem when I first did a clean install of QubesOS, but after using it for about 2 months, I had a problem where I could not type anymore.
I think I can continue to use it by changing the GRUB settings to work around the USB/PCI problem temporarily.I was wondering if I would have to do a clean install again, so this is a great help.Thank you very much.
