Not sure whether you are getting any help with this already. But there’s a lot going on here. I can’t talk about the Qubes install. But on the Heads side of things, it looks like you should try resetting the TPM and then, in that process, setting new HOTP and TOTP secrets. You could also, if you’ve not got any data stored on your Nitrokey (e.g. TOTP codes) do an “OEM Factory Reset” (an option presented in Heads’ menus) and just have the system set everything right from the start. That will wipe clean your Nitrokey, create a new GPG key (saving the public key to an external USB if you ask it to), set your Nitrokey PIN and Admin PIN, reset the TPM and set a TPM password, and generate new TOTP and HOTP secrets.

If it were me, I would focus on getting Heads set up right before moving onto Qubes, instead of pushing through a Heads that isn’t set up straight to the Qubes installer. Frankly, what I would do is get the basics of Heads sorted, install something simpler like Ubuntu, run the initial OS update and go through a couple of reboots to make sure everything with Heads is working right, and then once that is sorted I’d move onto Qubes. In that process, if something like Ubuntu won’t install or boot and you get the kind of blank screens you have with the Qubes install, then you will have a better sense of where the problem lies (i.e. there will be something more foundational than with Qubes).

Hope that helps and that you are getting some help for your Nitropad.
