Confirmation no simplier way : switch sys-usb template for desktop

[phceac]

This is a common problem.

There is a possible solution, but you must adapt it. An example is here, given by @unman:

Mouse and Keyboard not USB

This comes up repeatedly. You can run a script like this in dom0: #!/bin/sh qvm-shutdown sys-usb qvm-prefs sys-usb template fedora-43-xfce qvm-start sys-usb sleep 3m qvm-shutdown sys-usb qvm-prefs sys-usb template fedora-42-xfce qvm-start sys-usb That gives you 3 minutes in which to check that the sys-usb is working properly under 43-xfce, after which the template will be reset. If you are happy you can comment out lines 4-7 and run the script again. I never presume to speak for the Qube…

It is designed to be created as an executable script in dom0…

If you are comfortable with shell scripts, then it should be easy to understand. I do recommend to change the shutdown commands to
qvm-shutdown --wait ....
to be sure that the shutdown finishes before trying to change the template.
