Devices Widget: can't detach USB device

[awokd]

Qubes OS version:

R4.0rc4

Affected TemplateVMs:

---

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Connect (non-block) USB device to a VM
Click on Eject in Device Widget to attempt to disconnect from VM

Expected behavior:

USB device detached from VM

Actual behavior:

USB device remains bold and attached to VM

General notes:

Target VM syslog/journalctl displays message similar to "Device attach failed: No device info received, connection failed, check backend side for details"

---

Related issues:

#3215

Attempting to use qvm-usb to attach results in the same "backend side failed" message.
Installing qubes-usb-proxy in sys-usb's template restored correct function to Device Widget's Eject. It already had qubes-input-proxy-sender.

Potential cause: Devices Widget not recognizing a failure message when used to connect a USB device

Same behavior noted when using widget to assign device to an AppVM that doesn't have qubes-usb-proxy installed. It gets "stuck" there and can't be unassigned with the widget. Physically removing the USB device works around it.

Found the cause - events in the backend were firing even if the device was not successfully attached/detached. @marmarek - that's one of yours.

I have the same problem when the VM where the USB device was attached is shutdown before detaching. It's not possible then to detach from command line or UX. Should I create another ticket for that?

I have the same problem when the VM where the USB device was attached is shutdown before detaching. It's not possible then to detach from command line or UX. Should I create another ticket for that?

I recommend seeing if the patches for this issue fix it. If you have reason to believe your issue is different and will not be resolved by the patches for this one, please file a separate issue and take care to explain why it's not a duplicate of this one.
