How to help users locked out at boot by $PROBLEMS?

User Support

I was looking for a way to support a recent issue report, requesting a “rescue my Qubes” boot option in grub allowing usb keyboard in dom0. I often wished for this in the past. It is particularly useful for new users who have just installed.

Looking back in the forum, I see quite a high load of users rebooting to find no qube will start, or usb devices are not available. I have put some links below.

Disk space in the pool is the big one. From my memory, passthrough and Strict reset errors in sys-usb also appear occasionally.

Are there other rescue options which might be useful?

  • Should it be “skip autostart” AND allow usb kb in Dom0?
  • A nomodeset one for some of the “black screen” after install cases? I wished for this, also.
  • Others?
