I created sys-usb manually for use with my usb keyboard and mouse
and i am able to use it just fine, but it is leading to mouse freezes and stutters which were not there before i created it .
How do i delete it, without using a ps2 mouse or keyboard

my usb in dom0 is not restricted and no usb related line is there in grub configuration
but as soon as i run qvm-shutdown sys-usb
i can do nothing else then ofc. Cos my keyboard and mouse disconnect.
cannot even enter y on the question it asks, this will remove the vm sys-usb are you sure??

so how do i get to the previous state without a sys-usb??? Without having to reinstall the system

solved it, just created a script and ran it
script had the commands
qvm-shutdown --wait sys-usb
qvm-remove --force sys-usb

and then hit the reset button on my pc

Thanks. I was trying to go through the in-place upgrade process and the sys-usb qube was getting in my way. Specifically, stage 3, it wants to shutdown all VMs, which would shutdown the sys-usb VM as well, and then it would ask y/N prompt, which the keyboard could not respond to. The --assumeyes arg doesn’t work because in a previous step, it can’t shutdown the sys-firewall vm because the sys-whonix vm is using it and needs to be shutdown manually before answering ‘y’ to that prompt.

You know you can string commands together in Linux with a semi-colon, so this will do both lines in one command.
qvm-shutdown --wait sys-usb; qvm-remove --force sys-usb
