Hello,
I have configured my USB device to be contained in a separate USB qube:
sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.usb-keyboard
This works so far, but from time to time I get stick in the XFCE login menu!
Today I needed two further reboots until keyboard became available for input to enter credentials.
Unfortunately, I don’ know to debug this problem. Some hints:
- At boot time, LUKS password can be always entered successfully via keyboard (USB devices active)
- Then, with XFCE display manager / login menu, either two situations happen:
- all USB devices are turned off and keep inactive
- all USB devices are turned off and toggled on again (they seem to do this twice, I suppose to clean USB stack for security?)
- Problem seems t o happen arbitrarily due to race conditions at boot - I experimented with waiting some time at LUKS encryption input, but could not make out a rule
- There haven’t been any USB instability / hardware issues with different OS
Is this a known problem and does an github issue exist?
Thank you very much for having created an awesome OS!
