Yeah, I'll do that. On the other hand, it may be a Fedora thing. Just for giggles, I downloaded F26, and it won't install, either -- it times out, though it gives a different error when it does.

Re: AW: [qubes-users] Re: Qubes 4.0-rc2 :: VMs fail to start
Hey y'all, I have found some workarounds for getting VMs to boot. If you change the virt_mode to pv instead of hvm, usually sys-usb and sys-firewall will begin to boot regularly. I also increased the qrexec-timeout to 120 per someone's recommendation here, and that seemed to help sys-whonix boot better. Also running VMs in "debug mode" in the VM Settings UI seems to help a little bit.

It might seem frightening at first, but it's not that difficult to use. The most annoying thing is if you want to exclude some Templates or AppVM's, since it'll otherwise restore all your VM's. After you type in your backup password, just put -x "AppVM name" -x "AppVM name" without the exclamation markers. It takes a few minutes of concentration the first time around, but it's not exactly "difficult", just different and takes a bit longer. Type in "qvm-backup-restore -h" for help on commands if needed, or find a Qubes doc guide on the official website. The commandline appears the same in Qubes 3.2 as it is in 4.0-RC2, so you can practice in Qubes 3.2 with a few test AppVM's. - Also, from what I hear, it takes a lot longer to restore backups if you run it through Dom0. Apparently it goes a lot faster if you i.e. make a USB-Qube and restore your backup through an AppVM. I cannot verify if it goes faster since my touch-screen on my laptop is tied to my USB, therefore I cannot create a USB-QUbe. Which meant I had to go for the slow one through Dom0. It took about 10 hours or so for about 60-70 GB of backup data. - Be sure to turn off suspend or hibernate while you run your backup. - Qubes 4-RC2 appears to have some template difficulties, primarily debian and whonix, but also sometimes fedora. The way I solved it was during the install, I allowed the install of Whonix templates. However during the last-step for configuration setup, I removed Whonix in the configuration setup. I also removed the automatic easy "Personal, Work" AppVM setup configuration. I only selected the first line. For whatever reason, if I selected any other configurations below the first, it causes python code errors. Afterwards fedora template works fine, and Whonix is easily fixed with the Qubes official Whonix install guide on the official website. It's basically just to create the sys-whonix and tie the whonix-gw and whonix-ws to the syswhonix for networking. - debian won't run for me, I still haven't found a way to fix it. Instead I just made an extra copy of my Fedora template, and use that template for my packages etc. that I don't want installed in my more secure template/AppVM's. - Qubes 4-RC2 sometimes freezes during install, it'll depend on your hardware. For my case, it only froze once. I restarted and started over, no changes to settings. This time it made it through. Qubes 4-RC1 always froze for me, no matter how many times I tried. The takeaway is, it sometimes helps to restart and try again. - If Qubes 4 succesfully installs, but you get python errors or templates don't appear despite that you installed them, try re-install everything. I believe the late-stage Qubes configuration is what makes the difference. See above step a few steps up. - Find another way to monitor your RAM/CPU use. For example I use "Xl list" in Dom0 to see how much memory Dom0 and all the other Templates/AppVM's are using. The widget shoes Template/AppVM memory use, but it doesn't show you how much memory you got in Dom0. The Dom0 RAM may be nice to know, so you know how much memory you got left for new VM's you plan to start up. - There appears to be a new method to update Templatee VM's. Fedora still works the old way. But Debian and Whonix doesn't. I haven't found any Qubes guides or post about this yet, and haven't had the time to experiment to find out how it works now. But basically, Fedora template updates work. Whonix might also work. I had a lot of trouble with the Debian template system though. Either way, just go with Fedora for now until a guide or post is availale on this matter, or till the error is fixed (if there is any errors and it simply is just a user mistake). - Given the situation, without insider knowledge (aka I simply dont know, this is just a guess), I believe there will be a Qubes 4-RC3 release. All these python errors and template nightmare, and careful picking Qubes configuarion to minimize these issues, seems to be too much to fix with just some updates. However if you can get the Fedora template working, you can just re-install the other templates whenever a fix becomes available. - Qubes 4 appears to come with SALT enabled by default. I haven't ventured too much into this new area much yet, however it seemingly adds a security layer to VM and VM files so that they can't be changed (Possibly? It's still new to me after all, I can't say for sure). Presumably as long it's on the SALT configuration list

I also read all man pages on HVMs and the majority of the documentation as well. Initially I thought it could be the boot-up kernel issues described here (https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/linux-hvm-tips/) but I am not 100% sure, because the fixes didn't really apply to my situation. The fix was to replace "rhgb" in GRUB, but my GRUB file didn't include it at all.. Therefore, for now I will continue to try different versions/distros. But mainly I am interested in getting Debian and Fedora to work as HVMs. So far I only created "Standalone HVMs" with the terminal. I will now try to create "TemplateHVMs" or "TemplateBasedHVMs" and keep you posted. I hope it works ;) Do you have any other ideas ? PS: By Fedora 26 LXDE i meant that I used a spin of Fedora 26 that uses LXLE. Its an official release just with a more light-weight DE. I didn't mean the DE on dom0.

Instead try use the graphical tool, it should work. Do the qvm-create etc. first to make the HVM, then afterwards go to the Qube-menu and select the new Qube menu you just made, open VM-Settings for this VM, and click "Advanced". Here click on the "Boot qube from CDROM". Which despite it's name, works for USB, local files, local files in another VM, and of course an actual CD-Rom drive as well. If it doesn't work, then at least you made sure you didn't misstype anything. Also yes, Windows 10 should technically work in Qubes, you just won't get Qubes supported tools, such as text and file sharing between Win10 and the rest of Qubes system, no easy internet setup, graphic/screen Qubes driver, and so forth. Basically, it should run, but it might not run optimal. You may be able to passthrough some USB devices, or iso files, but otherwise, it'll be completely isolated in its own little world. Unlike Windows 7, which can properly communicate with Qubes. Basically Windows 10 will theoretically appear like Windows 7, just without the Qubes-Windows-Tools installed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Win7 'Start fix' (Qubes 4-RC2) - A quick temporary semi-solutuon
Hola, For those of you who can't start your Windows 7 on Qubes 4, i.e. from your backup, here is something quick and simple you may want to try to get it working. Albeit it will not run perfectly, since it won't give you internet or moving files between VM's and the Window HVM. This is because there appears to be no Qubes-Windows-Tools for Qubes 4 as of yet. But it'll give you access to your Windows files and applications. Which can be important if you don't want to install Qubes 3.2. again just to access your Windows data. List to do: - Disable Dynamic Memory in Qubes VM-Settings. - Increase the minimum memory, i.e. my was 4000 MB. Any less, and it would crash at login screen on my system, not start at all, or crash a few minutes after login. For my case, 4000MB was the minimum for a stable running Windows, without the Qubes-Windows-Tools to handle the memory. - For my system, Windows only starts if it's in HVM mode. Dom0 terminal: "qvm-prefs Win7 virt_mode hvm". May apply to you as well. - Increase the system partition in Qubes settings, since Qubes backup trimmed it down to critical minimum levels to save backup space. - Increase the system partition in the Windows partition settings to match the given space in the above step. This is especially important to things like page-file, updates and other system functions can function. - Restart Windows if needed. This will allow Windows and function without Qubes-Windows-Tools, but it's a pain without internet, text and file sharing between VM's, and dynamic memory on low RAM computers. Albeit, at least you can start it up to access your files and applications. Tip 1: For example in Qubes 3.2. I could run Windows 7 just fine with even just 2500 MB and without dynamic memory enabled (the very same install, from the backUp). However for whatever reason, even if nothing in Windows itself was changed, it won't run without 3.500 MB RAM, and not stable without 4000 MB RAM. This may apply for you as well, watch out for this scenario. Tip 2: If you have little RAM, like my laptop which has only 8000 MB RAM, then close most of the other VM's, or Windows won't even start at all. If there are not enough memory, then no errors appear, nothing visual, no warnings, it just simply won't budge. Make sure you have enough memory to start Windows. Type in "XL list" in Dom0 terminal, to see how your RAM is allocated. Make sure Dom0 has enough RAM to dynamically give away to Windows's high amount of non-dynamic memory. For example if you give Win7 4000MB, then Dom0 should have at the very least 5000+ MB RAM, so it retains some for itself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] unikernel-firewall: anyone tried this / anyone who wants to help/ already hvm template to download?
Hi I found an interesting approach of having a small unikernel firewall, that does not eat up too much RAM, especially useful for a laptop and also as there is a different ip-stack than in Linux one has an advantage against common errors: (if there is a flaw in the linux kernel it affects sys-net and sys-firewall, if there is a flaw in uni-kernel-firewall it only affects the firewall and if there is a flaw in the kernel then it affects sys-net and not sys-firewall!) look here for the project: http://roscidus.com/blog/blog/2016/01/01/a-unikernel-firewall-for-qubesos/ https://github.com/talex5/qubes-mirage-firewall.git would be nice to have the mirage-os based firewall as an install option, by downloading a signed template with a tested mirage-os based firewall.

During Installation I had a Nvidia graphics card attached to the mainboard. But then I removed it because of Boot problems. Without the Nvidia card therer are no problems.

True, I thought about running Tails without Whonix Gateway, just with the Firewall. How exactly do you create/setup the Tails HVM or any HVM for that matter ?

[qubes-users] fixed problems with destorted sound with pulseaudio on qubes 3.2 -> change request for config file
Hi I use qubes 3.2 and sometimes I listend to music using youtube on a user vm. Now I had the following problems: the sound was often distorted, sounded like overdriven pre amplifier, but if one stops the sound source (youtube in browser, press pause) there was a trailing 1 second of destorted sound. Like if there was a buffer that was not served in time and wants to empty out. So I looked around and found that there is a configuration to be changed: take a terminal in dom0: sudo su (now I am root) vi /etc/pulse/default.pa find a section and modify like I did: ### Automatically load driver modules depending on the hardware available .ifexists module-udev-detect.so ##modified 01.11.17 #load-module module-udev-detect ##against glitches load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0 ##-end-modified 01.11.17 So add tsched=0, this disables PulseAudio's timer-based scheduling and uses the classic interrupt-driven approach why? see: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/pulse-glitch-free.html now say :wq to your vi then in your root shell of dom0 say pkill pulseaudio and it restarts, now without distortion or glitches. My audio hw is: Creative Labs EMU20K1 (Soundblaster X-Fi Series) Having a decent sound board one wants no lowfi destorted sound... So have fun with better audio. @qubes-os developer. Maybe, you should patch the file /etc/pulse/default.pa for dom0 accordingly. Cheers, Ludwig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

You got it all backwards. You shouldn't expect others to help, rather you should be happy when someone spends time to help you for free. People help each others around here, but the community is also not very big yet either. There are a limited amount of people hanging around spending their own private free time to help others, without getting anything in return. You should be happy that there are even such people around, and not make such ridiculous demands, as to getting something for free. It's a privilege to have others around who wants to help without getting something in return, it's not something you can just expect or demand. You might want to scratch out that word "support" too while at it, after all, Qubes is a free, you're not paying for it like some other company product. "Support" here, is people taking up and spending their free time to help each others out, which is completely volunteer work. It's also a bit annoying when the question you're asking is such a simple question, that most people figure out on their first day in Qubes (3.2. and version 4 alike). While I like the idea that Qubes should be made available to as many people as possible, it isn't there yet, and it may not even be the goal of the developers to go there either, who knows. But in its present state, Qubes is not for people who can't or won't spend time to figure out, at the very least, how the basics works. It's fine to ask questions, but seriously change your attitude. Both the developers and the community helping others, are doing a lot here for free. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Refusing to upgrade due to not having the old Qubes Manager, is imho just being conservative stubborn to old habits, refusing change. While true change can go from better to worse, refusing change altogether is not always a good thing. One should try give the layout in Qubes 4 a chance. While true Qubes 4 has its interface shortcomings compared to Qubes 3.2, I think it's interface isn't far from being superior to Qubes 3.2. too, with some tweaks here and there. For example, expanding the widget to allow for more details, similar to how the old Qubes Manager worked. Perhaps even put in an option to make it detachable/moveable/sizeable from the widget icon to the desktop for those who prefer a window over a widget. Either way, despite the loss from the extras in the old QUbes Manager, despite it was a major pain to get the templates to work properly in the start from a fresh install, despite all that, I still enjoy Qubes 4 more than I did Qubes 3.2. And if anything, Qubes 4 is more secure than 3.2., so refusing to upgrade for such minor things, seems to me quite weird. Albeit the complaints are understandable, but it doesn't make Qubes 4 inferior to Qubes 3.2, when counting all the pros and cons together. We also have to remember Qubes 4 is laying the foundations to more features in the future. At least to my understanding, a lot in Qubes 4 is foundation work for more things to come in the future. Don't be so unsatisfied, it's work in progress, Qubes 4 is not a finished project. Think long-term, not short-term. Imho, the Qubes team did a fantastic job with Qubes 4. They didn't have much time with the interface layout, given all the other things that was implemented in Qubes 4. After all, security takes president, and practical use is also a serious priority. Cosmetics and lesser user-ability have to take a second seat, given the paradigm and goals that's being followed, with so few resources. Just give it time people, the Qubes team did an amazing job. Being frustrated to such a high degree though, is uncalled for. We should at the very least appreciate their hard work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

You'd need Xen disk drivers installed within the VM for this to work. Xen drivers (along the rest of Qubes Windows Tools) haven't been ported to Windows 10 yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
