  • Legacy boot:

    1. At the GRUB screen, hit ‘e’, then remove rd.qubes.hide_all_usb, then boot

  • EFI boot:

    1. Start with a LiveCD, mount your ESP FAT partition
    2. edit: EFI/qubes/xen.cfg
    3. note what the default= kernel is
    4. edit the kernel pointed at by default to remove rd.qubes.hide_all_usb
    5. reboot without LiveCD

  • That will allow typing your disk encryption password and logging in. Then, reconfigure sys-usb:

  • qvm-remove sys-usb

  • sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.usb-keyboard

    • This will recreate sys-usb AND enable USB keyboard login
