Re: [qubes-users] R3.2-rc2: random reboots on Lenovo T520 (workaround)
Hello Yaqu, Does anyone else have similar issue with i915? I have the impression that latest Qubes OS hardly supports i915 chipsets. On my side, on a Lenovo T500 after a normal boot process when the X server should start the screen goes blank and there is no more disk activity (no log either) letting me think of some deep crash / freeze somewhere. Hopefully this laptop offers a second ATI based graphical chipset, so once I solved Qubes/Fedora over-heating issue with this one (`radeon.dpm=1' for those interested) I managed to install an use Qubes. It can be worth to noting that on the same laptop I had no issue to use Qubes 2 with Intel i915 graphical chipset (this was actually my first workaround against the afore mentioned ATI over-heating issue), and that latest Fedora Live CD does not cause any issue either. So this i915 issue is really a Qubes or Xen specific issue. Moreover, if you check the issue list, you will find yet another issue still related to i915 handling, "Graphic woes / i915 - Intel Graphics 5500 on T450s": https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2232 Good luck...

Qubes 3.2 won't be released with fc23 because it's too late in testing, but will (does currently for the RC) have an fc24 template available. It looks like chromium-53.0.2785.116-1.fc23 should now be in 'updates-testing' repo (since 2016-09-21 17:43:43Z), but it hasn't propagated far. Out of 6 mirrors in Australia, only one here even had the previous 53.0.2785.113-1.fc23.x86_64, in 'updates-testing', which is now ~8 days old. YMMV, but looks like Fedora needs to drop some consistently slow mirrors: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/propgation Also, if fc23 users want Chromium, it needs package testers. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] System still freezes, still no resolution.
Hello Drew, I'm tired of having to re-do the work that gets lost if files get corrupted or not saved properly, and also browsing information from things I'm doing. I share your frustration. Which computer are you using? Are your applications still running in the background (ie. only the graphical interface is frozen) or is it a complete system freeze? On my side I'm running Qubes on a Lenovo Thinkpad T500 and I just wrote a similar request as yours just a few days ago: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/O4UO9CjO4TM On my side the graphical display is frozen, and with KDE I managed to workaround the issue by setting KWin to use XRender instead of OpenGL as compositing engine. After that the system became rock-solid and I never encountered such freeze anymore for months, while it happened about once a week until that. The sad thing is that Qubes has now switched to XFCE, the freezes came back and I do not know any equivalent setting on XFCE. I recently tried to completely disable compositing and am now crossing my fingers. Regards, Simon. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Re: Nix desktop shortcuts in dom0
Hi. Finally I get some light from the other side :) It seems that freedesktop Desktop Menu Specification defines an environment variable which should contain a path with all directories with .desktop files: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html#paths $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications/ This directory contains a .desktop file for each possible menu item. Each directory in the $XDG_DATA_DIRS search path should be used (i.e. desktop entries are collected from all of them, not just the first one that exists). When two desktop entries have the same name, the one appearing earlier in the path is used. The element in a menu file indicates that this default list of desktop entry locations should be scanned at that point. If a menu file does not contain , then these locations are not scanned. I have looked at `qvm-sync-appmenus` and I don't see it reading that variable. Can anyone confirm this point?

Yes, I can confirm:
[user@testvm ~]$ cat /etc/qubes-rpc/qubes.GetAppmenus
find /usr/share/applications/ /usr/local/share/applications/ -name
'*.desktop' -print0 2>/dev/null | \
xargs -0 awk '
BEGINFILE { entry="" }
/^\[/ { if (tolower($0) != "\[desktop entry\]")
nextfile }
/^Exec=/ { entry = entry FILENAME
":Exec=qubes-desktop-run " FILENAME "\n"; next }
/^NoDisplay *= *true$/ { entry=""; nextfile }
/=/ { entry = entry FILENAME ":" $0 "\n" }
ENDFILE { print entry }
' 2> /dev/null
It uses /usr/share/applications/ /usr/local/share/applications/
directly.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Nix desktop shortcuts in dom0
It uses /usr/share/applications/ /usr/local/share/applications/ directly. Does Nix set $XDG_DATA_DIRS? I think it doesn't. At least, it didn't set it during my installation. But it could be set manually. Furthermore, I don't see this variable set in debian and template VMs. I don't have "canonical" fedora/debian machines to test it there. If it is set there, I think qubes should follow the convention. But then, that variable should also be set in debian/fedora VMs. What do you think? Marc Busqué http://waiting-for-dev.github.io/about/

Thanks again. Just to clarify, there is no actual step required to create a StandaloneVM "from" a TemplateVM, correct? All I am doing is cloning the standard Debian 8 TemplateVM and then operating that TemplateVM independently, treating effectively it as a StandaloneVM. Meaning, installing software in it and then then running that software directly in/from it, instead of creating AppVM's based on it and running the software from those. If there is an extra step needed to transform a TemplateVM into a true StandaloneVM (not a full HVM) I am not aware of it, or doing it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] 3.0 to 3.1 in place upgrade broke USB VMs
The in place upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1 broke my two USB VMs (one controller with ports, one controller with devices) which were both set to auto start and working on 3.0. The error is similar to that where devices are assigned to another running VM - this is not the case however. livirt.libvirtError: Requested operation is not valid: PCI device xyz is in use by driver xenlight, domain usbvm sys-net still auto starts and everything else seems to work. Both VMs start fine without the USB devices assigned. I've tried hiding the devices from dom0 in case this made any difference using the kernel line in the docs, but this has made no difference.

[qubes-users] Adding shortcuts to desktop for commonly used apps like untrusted firefox
Hi, I'm a qubes-os newbie, so I'm probably missing something obvious, but am asking to be sure. I can add additional icons in the xfce vm menus with no issues, but I can't find a way to send a copy to the desktop. I don't know if I'm having a menu or touchpad click issue, but I can only launch the app with a left click, or straight into edit mode of the launcher with a right click. If I create a new launcher, put in the same values under edit, I can launch the app in the vm I want, but the icon isn't available, only generic ones without coloring.

[qubes-users] Thunderbird: "Open link in DispVM"
Hello everyone, working with Qubes I think it is a good idea to open links from mails (Thunderbird) in a DispVM. This way you can open "verify registration" links without having the need to allow full internet access to the mail VM or using cross-VM c&p. I thought about writing a Thunderbird extension, but in fact it is even easier to do that. In settings-> attachments -> receive (or similar, I don't use the English Thunderbird version) you can set handlers for http, https and ftp. I could not figure out how to handle parameters properly, so I wrote a small "script"; Thunderbird calls (you dont need to enter the %url% string, it is appended automatically) run_dispFox.sh %url% This script utilizes the cubes tools by calling /usr/bin/qvm-run --dispvm firefox $1 and Firefox opens up in a DispVM. Now mail VM only needs access to the webserver and the update-servers of the thunderbird add-ons (usually AMO). BUT: I can only open up 1 URL at a time. If there is an DispVM with Firefox already, the URL will not be opened in Firefox in a DispVM (not in the existing window and not in a new one). -- M. Sc.
