Device Widget doesn't show USB devices

[Patrick]

Hi, on my laptop qubes this doesn't show any usb devices, and an external keyboard using USB doesn't work. What can I check and do? I compare my settings to my other machine running 4.0 and they look the same, and do see USB.

One difference - I do not see a sys-USB on my machine that DOES work with USB, and I DO see the sys-USB on the laptop that doesn't show USB.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Patrick

Test a different USB device other than a mouse or keyboard on your
laptop with sys-usb. If that works, you need to edit a file to allow
your external keyboard. It's something like rpc input proxy permissions
file, try searching this list for it.
