To successfully attach a USB device, you require a VM dedicated to handling the USB input and output. For guidance setting up a USB qube, see the [USB documentation](/doc/usb-devices/#creating-and-using-a-usb-qube). -Currently (until issue [1082](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1082) gets implemented), if you remove the device before detaching it from the qube, Qubes OS (more precisely, `libvirtd`) will think that the device is still attached to the qube and will not allow attaching further devices under the same name. +Currently (until issue [1082](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1082) gets implemented), if you remove the device before detaching it from the qube, Qubes OS (more precisely, `libvirtd`) will think that the device is still attached to the qube and will not allow attaching further devices under the same name. +This may be characterized by VM manager crashes and the error message: `Houston, we have a problem`.
