Hey, does anyone know why the sys-gui salt would return exit code 126 in the dummy-psu-sender and dummy-backlight-dom0 steps? Here are the logs:

Thanks… I swear I Googled. Guess I’ll have to rely on Qubes search. Does this seem like an issue that should have a GitHub issue opened? I skimmed through the thread - there’s a solution but I’m not sure why it is required for some Qubes users, which could potentially be enlightening / important

Google searching does not work; It never works because of filteration.
