[qubes-users] Nirokey fails to mount on Debian AppVMs

Hello,

I am facing some issues in mounting Nitrokey(s) on the Debian AppVMs (sepcifically). It works fine with fedora VMs (both) standalone and AppVM.

In regards to the hardware, I tried the Nitrokey Pro 2, the Nitrokey fido 2, and the Nitrokey HSM 2. All resulted in the same:

"Error: QubesException - Device attach failed"

For the versions used: Qubes 4, Fedora 30 and Debian 10 templates. No sys-usb so it directly mounts via sys-net.

2 questions:

  • I would to know where I could find the logs for the “mount fail”.

  • Maybe there is a known issue related to Debian specifically (maybe the equivalent of missing drivers for nitrokeys on debian).

Thanks

Since it seems template related, do sudo journalctl from a terminal in
the AppVM where you're trying to mount.
