Issue using Yubikeys on Qubes as GPG smart card: "selecting card failed: No such device"

You need to create sys-usb.
Since your PC has 3 USB controllers then the best way is to dedicate 1 USB controller to dom0 and connect your USB keyboard and USB mouse to it and create sys-usb with other 2 USB controllers.
Here is the guide:

Qubes 4.1: How to enable a USB keyboard on a separate USB controller

42

Good. I will try again. The first time when creating everything ended badly
Thank

Add usbcore.authorized_default=0 and rd.qubes.dom0_usb=<BDF> to that line, where <BDF> is the USB controller identifier.

Tell me how to correctly register the identifier for the keyboard and mouse, the manufacturer is one (Razer)

There is a link to the guide on how to identify the right USB controller in the first step of the guide above:

sysusb1

after this procedure, this is what happened

46

After you performed all these steps?

  • Find the controller used for input devices.
  • Open the file /etc/default/grub in dom0.
  • Find the line that begins with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX .
  • Add usbcore.authorized_default=0 and rd.qubes.dom0_usb=<BDF> to that line, where <BDF> is the USB controller identifier.
  • Save and close the file.
  • Run the command grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg (legacy boot) or grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/grub.cfg (EFI) in dom0.
  • Reboot.

That’s the expected result. Now you need to perform last 8th step:

And create sys-usb. There is a link in the step on how to do it. You need to run this command in dom0:
sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.sys-usb

Here seems to be the same problem:

Check the output of this command in dom0:
sudo qubesctl top.enabled pillar=True

Run this command in dom0:
sudo qubesctl top.disable qvm.sys-net-as-usbvm pillar=True
Then try to create sys-usb again:
sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.sys-usb

Then it’s better to address this issue to @marmarek here:

I don’t have much knowledge at this and can’t help with this salt issue.

58

Yeah. I think there are a lot of bugs in this system. Some are resolved in the unstable branch. I seem to be stable. When to solve problems dick knows. )) Thank you very much for your help.

sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.sys-usb
created a virtual machine sys-usb
what to do next ?

60

Do you see your USB devices (not keyboard/mouse) when you run this command in dom0?
qvm-usb
