@Elias It would be amazing if you can get the needed information and have a second look at it. I'm only speculating here, but could it be possible that the code is more or less the way it's supposed to be, but has just not been tested, verified, and then distributed on Qubes 4? If the precedent for release requirements is the expectation of quality before release, then perhaps the hindrance is just testing and verifying if it works? Also it seems like some functions "might (maybe)" work as intended, for example I can copy files between VM's and Win7, on a Win7 that was installed on Qubes 3.2., but backup restored on Qubes 4. Others seem like they can do this too. Also it seems it's a common problem not to be internet in the restored Q3.2-Win7, perhaps the code is different in regards to how it ties networking with Qubes 4? I have no idea about the rest of the mechanics from a users perspective though, and most certainly not as a developer as I unfortunately don't have such skills, I wish I could help more. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
