Hello all,

When I try to attach my webcam to any appvm, I get the following message:

Device attach failed: /usr/lib/qubes/usb-import: line 32: /sys/devices/platform/vhci_hcd/status: No such file or directoryNo unused port found!/usr/lib/qubes/usb-import: line 51: /sys/devices/platform/vhci_hcd/attach: No such file or directory

In the meantime, the devices widget thinks that everything is ok.
I was able to reproduce this error on two different machines, one upgraded from Qubes 4.0 rc3 and another coming from a fresh install. What should I do?

Cheers,
Fab

Open a issue in qubes qit or mention it over on the qubes-devel list.

Does it work with a flash drive as storage device?

Install template updates from current-testing repository[1], it's fixed
there already. Packages will migrate to default repository later today.

I am not the OP but I have the same issue with webcam and storage device
is not passing trough either. The only thing that seems to pass trough
fine is the microphone
