I'm having trouble with a VM I was using yesterday. After using, I closed the guest and updated my host machine (arch linux). Today I turned on the host and tried to turn on my guest and this message appeared:

I'm using a dedicated nvidia card on a manjaro guest OS.
**I'm not a linux expert.**
Any idea what might be happening and how to fix this?
Any other info you need let me know.
**UPDATE #1:**
I removed the usb spice redirectors from my VM:
And now it works fine... I just can't have usb redirectors on the guest OS now... Anyone know why this is and how to fix it?
