two questions if you have the answer to just one thats great )
I followed this guide https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/cpu-pinning-alder-lake/17949
now no vms work i get this error "failed to start logical volume “vm-sys-usb-volatile” already exist in volume group “qubes dom0” (vm sys usb volatile is just an example)
also gui is buggy (slow and not appearing where it should be) and clicking doesnt register (not a external mouse) and logging in/out is super long but this happened before cpu pinning and just happens after updating it works fine on fresh install before updating
Have you checked the hardware compatibility list, and the hardware requirements? What are your PC specs? Qubes relies heavily on virtualization and your hardware must support certain features (and those features must be turned on in the BIOS) for good performance.
So confirm that you have turned on all the recommended hardware features, which should be on BEFORE install, you may need to reinstall if they weren’t turned on as I’m not sure what Qubes does at install time if those features are off.
