Hello, Up until this morning my machine ran just fine. Did a normal shutdown last night, nothing memorable. Today when I boot up everything looks fine but the only thing that works is dom0. qubesd.service is definitely showing a failed status
systemctl status qubesd.dervive shows FAILED
Network Manager, no other service apps or vm’s will start.
I have a dom0 terminal but otherwise a useless machine? Any thoughts on how to fix this? qubesd definitely seems to be the root of this issue. How can I further diagnose the issue and show you screenshots without the ability to take screenshots on my working machine?
So this seems like a promising solution… one of which I’m not too confident in fixing myself.
I can find /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/qubesusbproxy/core3ext.py but I’m unsure exactly how to edit it and then somehow add it into any other collections it belongs in?
You can type this in the terminal: sudo nano /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/qubesusbproxy/core3ext.py
Then you can edit it like in windows notepad.
When you finish editing, you can press Ctrl+s to save, and Ctrl+x to exit. Then you can reboot.
The reason that there’s no graphical text editor program in dom0 is that we hope to run as less as possible program in dom0.
Just to update everyone: THIS DID INDEED FIX MY ISSUE! Thank you all for your help. I was away from my machine for a few days, so I didn’t get a chance to try the repair until now but it DID work. THANK YOU ALL!
