Unable to get sys-audio qube to auto start on boot

Sorry I must have messed up some syntax in the previous attempt. I delted the file and started over and copied your script exactly.
sys usb does start now but sys-audio does not.

I am assuming you still want me to leave autostart unchecked.

Here is the log from that attempt|attachment (343.9 KB)

I believe sys-audio will autostart if check autostart and I delete the script and detach both 2-4 and 2-5.3 and I believe audio works like that so maybe I should just leave them unattached. I’m just not sure why its so difficult or if I am doing something fundamentally wrong

Ok, I’ve found the issue.
Previously the qvm-usb list vmname didn’t show the persistently attached devices that are not present, but now it shows them even if there is no device present.
Attach both USB devices to sys-audio, change the script to this and try again:

#!/bin/bash
guest_name="$1"
libvirt_operation="$2"
timeout=60
guest_to_start_on_usb="sys-audio"

if [ "$guest_name" = "sys-usb" ] && [ "$libvirt_operation" = "started" ]; then
    (
        exec 0</dev/null
        exec 1>/dev/null
        exec 2>/dev/null
        guest_attached_usb_list=$(qvm-usb list "$guest_to_start_on_usb" | awk '{ print $1 }')
        for i in $(seq 1 $timeout);
        do
            if qvm-ls --running $guest_name | grep -q Running; then
                present_usb_list=$(qvm-usb list | grep -w "$guest_to_start_on_usb" | awk '{ print $1 }')
                if  [ "$guest_attached_usb_list" = "$present_usb_list" ]; then
                    qvm-start --skip-if-running -q $guest_to_start_on_usb
                    break
                fi
            fi
            sleep 1
        done
    ) & disown
fi

UPD:
I’ve updated the script, since it was error-prone and with updated script you don’t need to specify the attached USB devices.
