forgot to mention, you will need to tweak your netvm. when you first install, it wont be able to start sys-net. go into sys-nets settings/devices and remove the ethernet controller. then click on "Configure strict reset for PCI devices", the big button at the bottom of that tab. dont know why, but you can make another netvm for sys-ethernet, but keeping both interfaces in the same netvm doesnt seem to work. also tried a purism librem 13. the laptop itself was broken, but dont remember any compatibility issues with it. couldnt test the mic, as that was one of the broken parts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
