Hi. Searched around. No one else seems to have this error. I have a disposable and offline (network = none) stock sys-usb appvm on R4.2. Often when I plug in an SD Card the system (dom 0) shows the SD card, but when I attach it to another stock disposible offline appvm, the card does not appear in file manager. After some time it will pop up the error ‘remote peer disconnected’. Card still does not work. What exactly does remote mean in this error? Dom 0 is also stock. Nothing special done to the system. Should I do a deeper investigation of this error? And how do I just make the card work properly? Thanks.
Try to manually mount it:
I don’t know what’s this message is about and where do you see it. And maybe it’s not related at all.
Can you make a screenshot when this message appears?
It’s definitely from within thunar file manager. With one option ‘okay’. It happens intermittently. The SD card does sometimes popup in Thunar, but not everytime. And when it’s accessing luks after typing the sd card’s password, sometimes it timesout, then the error ‘remote peer disconnected’. Maybe this how qubes works under the hood, something similar to a network device when attaching usb devices through disp-usb?
Thanks for the manual mounting info. I’ll give it a try and report back.
No, it’s not using network for this.
Check the logs in the qube using journalctl, maybe there are any related messages there.
Not an expert on journalctl, but did a --since, around the time I remember the error, can’t seem to find anything regarding ‘sys-usb’. Any way to drill down on a specific qube? Whonix seems to have created nearly 100,000 log entries in 72 hours, so it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Since your card reader is in dom0 and not in sys-usb, as far as I understood, then this issue don’t have anything to do with sys-usb.
If you’re trying to attach the SD card from dom0 to some qube (e.g. disp1234) then before attaching the SD card to this qube run this command in this qube’s terminal:
sudo journalctl -f -n0
Then attach the SD card to this qube and check the resulting log.
