How about connecting the external (HDMI audio supporting) monitor? If it's the issue I linked, maybe making HDMI audio use an interrupt will work around it. > Somebody off list suggested that I recompile the kernel with a known good > config and only bring in the (diff) XEN options.

Other distros have it easy and only need Linux compat. Xen plays a major & differentiating role in the security Qubes can provide. > I guess it makes little sense to try older installation media before 3.2.1? > Is there any ETA for a new kernel qubes version?

Easiest way I can think to get it would be to pull the laptop hard drive, install Qubes on it from a different machine, update kernel, then move hard drive back. You could also build a custom ISO with the 5.x kernel, but that gets a bit involved: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-iso-building/, and there's no guarantee it will fix the issue. Maybe others on the list or lurking have an easier method. > Unless there are any other easy ideas available, I guess this is the end of > the road for me and I will have to make do with Debian and Virtualbox? "Easy" = buy a different laptop! :) Afraid I'm out of other ideas. Next might be to try to apply a similar code fix/workaround in events_base.c, recompile, etc., but that's getting pretty in-depth for something I could be completely wrong about. Hope you get a chance to use Qubes some day. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
