im kinda new to Qubes and i want to attach an USB-Scanner to one of the VM’s. It’s not showing up in the lsblk-devices/“qubes devices”.
Due to the fact, that i am using USB-peripherals, i dont have a sys-USB, if this information is important.
I also never scanned anything under linux but thought going with xsane should be pretty plug-n-playish even under qubes.
The scanner is visible using lsusb in dom0 but im wondering if there is a better solution than switch to HVM for this qube and pass the whole USB-controller (well, my periherals are plugged into that and tbo, if i dont have to, i don’t want to keep track where i plug my usb-devices into my computer/what controller they use.
So it seems, that i will need an sys-USB qube for this to work. Maybe i missunderstood the concept of it. In the installer the option was greyed-out so i supposed it would not be possible to create one when using USB-peripherals.
Im going to read into that and see if that solves my problems.
