I think in https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XenStore. See
qubes-src/vmm-xen-stubdom-linux/rootfs/init for some example usage.

qubesdb-read is an interface to dom0, it simply reads keys exported by
dom0; see the following doc for a list of available keys:

yes - at least that's how I think it's working.

No idea but I'd like to know the answer too, please let me know if you
find out (I just replied to another post about timezones and couldn't
find how the "db" was updated).

Maybe ask on @qubes-devel ?

/usr/lib/qubes/init/qubes-early-vm-config.sh

the script gets the timezone from dom0 with `qubesdb-read
/qubes-timezone` and sets it early during a VM's boot.

see this post/thread for more details:

https://www.mail-archive.com/qubes-users@googlegroups.com/msg21693.html


> And the obvious next one: How can I change it to a proper 
> "America/Argentina/Cordoba"?
I tried to set a different timezone in dom0 but qubesdb-read would
return the old value in VMs ; I don't know how the db is updated (a
reboot would probably do but it seems overkill and I have too much stuff
open to test).

But if you're rebooted already and you still get the wrong string in
VMs, maybe it's a bug in how qubesdb-read reads the timezone
(interestingly, that's the first time I see 3 fields like 'X/Y/Z' - I
always thought a timezone would be 'X/Y').

When intel first introduced power saving measures people always thought
that was the reason their computer was running slowly, but if frequency
scaling is working properly all it does is save you money on your power
bill - in your case it probably isn't functioning right and you should
investigate in dom0.

I use 8GB RAM and no swap without any issues, you can't run too many
VM's especially with resource consuming firefox but it isn't that terrible.

PVH should be just as fast as PV, I would investigate frequency scaling
and of course install the spectre microcode updates (very difficult
thanks to the good people at intel/amd not really releasing them)

You gotta install the latest microcode updates anyways it seems so a

I would get a KCMA-D8 ($315) or KGPE-D16 ($415) they check all your
boxes and more - they are what all the experts use, leah rowe from
libreboot paid for them to be ported to coreboot-libre a few years ago.
D16 max 192GB RAM with 32 cores, and it also has OpenBMC support, two
separate usb controllers (btw you need breakout cables for second
controller/more ports) etc.

The PS/2 security idea thing is from idiots who have no idea what they
are doing, using PS2 sends all your keystrokes out on the ground wire as
I have mentioned previously.
I would get a unicomp keyboard with trackpad, as then you have input
devices where the firmware can't be internally flashed like most
keyboards can.

The G505s has 4 cores and 16GB RAM, the FT3 platform is the last and
best x86_64 laptop platform without PSP/ME that supports IOMMU, open
init for ram/cpu etc.
There are a few FT3 coreboot laptops but this is the best supported/most
popular.

I am pleased you are smart enough to avoid the fraudulent companies out
there.

100% sure.
I'm downloading to a Guest and I have all my ISOs stored on an external drive.
I know the ISO is fine because it booted on a local Guest, then I tried on 
another drive in the guest, but as soon as I went to another HD it started to 
fail and not work.

Therefore, I can only conclude that it is the actual Qubes installer since it 
worked only in that one exact scenario.

If you had read my posts, all of the first ones, you would have seen my tests 
there.

[qubes-users] Wrong timezone in VMs: where the value for qubesdb-read /qubes-timezone comes from? (Take two)

2018-04-30 Thread Pablo Di Noto
Hello all,

I asked this question when Qubes R3.2 was out, and solved with help from Andrew 
in a somewhat weird way (running local scripts on each AppVM).

Now that we are at R4.0, I am again having this issue:

After install, dom0 gets proper timezone:

|[root@dom0 Desktop]# timedatectl

but for some reason, all AppVM get the wrong timezone on their configuration

|lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Apr 30 23:32 /etc/localtime -> 
../usr/share/zoneinfo/Argentina/Cordoba

which of course does not exists, so all AppVM end up in GMT.

So my original question is back: Where does that value come from?
And the obvious next one: How can I change it to a proper 
"America/Argentina/Cordoba"?

Thanks!

[qubes-users] AMD? threadripper / ryzen?

2018-04-30 Thread pixel fairy
ready to ditch intel on desktop (and maybe laptop if anyone has a good 
recommendation) 

my understanding is that some amd lines dont have PSP or any such equivalent to 
intelME or AMT. about to jump down the rabbit hole of figuring this out. 

has anyone tried ryzen or threadripper? is there another line worth looking at?

what im looking for,

* no psp, ME, amt etc
* no speculative execution vulnerabilities (at least no known ones)
* at least 32gigs of ram (yes, i actually use that)
* at least 8 cores or threads.
* ps2 mouse/keyboard or more than 1 usb bus. 

gpu support for tensorflow would be nice, but will probably make a second, 
dedicated box when that time comes.

free bios support (coreboot, libreboot etc) would be nice too.

and before anyone suggests it, no, im not porting xen to talon.

a laptop like the above would be awsome if its light and has good battery life, 
but thats not something im going to hold my breath for.

Thanks, this script is located in the AppVM.

Looking at the script /usr/lib/qubes/setup-ip I found:

ip=$(/usr/bin/qubesdb-read /qubes-ip 2> /dev/null)

so the variables are filled from data coming from qubesdb-read.
I opened qubesdb-read but it looks like a binary (?) file.

So basically it looks like this:

network configuration of AppVM -> qvm-prefs -> stored "somewhere" in dom0
/usr/bin/qubesdb-read (in the AppVM) -> read data from dom0

Where is the data from qvm-prefs stored? Is it really a database?

disable c-states option if there is one.  just make sure your pc doesn't run 
significantly hotter.

also as previous poster said 8 gb of ram is too small and 4.0 uses more 
resources then 3.2 as well.  ssd also helps.

Hi Joe,
I'm would like to build a similar setup, with pi-hole as a proxyVM for some 
browsing AppVM on my fresh Qubes 4.0 install. 
I'm quite a beginner to Qubes (and to linux more genrally) and I'm struggling 
following what you've done to make it work. (I have also tried to follow some 
other instructions here: 
https://blog.tufarolo.eu/how-to-configure-pihole-in-qubesos-proxyvm/ but either 
I'm missing something, or it doesn't work like this anymore with 4.0)
Have you updated your setup to Qubes 4.0 if needed ?
Would you please agree to summarize as simply and clearly as possible the 
necessary steps to make it work for a noob like me.
Thanks

Tom

UEFI-installer worked like charm, but booting after install did not (stuck

I'm using a Thinkpad w530 and I had to play a little bit with BIOS settings, 
since virtualization does not play well with graphic card.

So I had to enable virtualization in BIOS (it's disabled by default) and then 
use integrated graphics (if no external monitor is connected) or optimus (if I 
have a external monitor).

After finding the right combination of these settings, I could boot without 
issues.

Hope this helps.



I noticed on the HCL that some TPad users  had to change the Bios 
graphics  as well,  My 530  didn't have that setting , "discrete graphics"

Re: [qubes-users] Re: ANN: Testing new VPN code for Qubes

2018-04-30 Thread velcro
Sorry correction to my notes:


Using qTunnel:

For Debian proxy, add OpenVPN package to your VPN template:
su
apt-get update && apt-get install openvpn unzip

Download and transfer file to template
https://github.com/tasket/qubes-tunnel.git

cd “Then drag downloaded file into terminal from tasket”
sudo bash ./install

Create proxy AppVM using VPN template: sys-VPN
Colour: Green
Provides Network  Checked
connect to sys-net
Launch settings  - Checked

Settings:
Add files and Terminal to Applications
Add “qubes-tunnel-openvpn” to services

Move VPN config files to new proxy AppVM

Open proxy AppVM terminal:
sudo mkdir /rw/config/qtunnel

sudo /usr/lib/qubes/qtunnel-setup --config

Enter VPN name and password

sudo mv “Then highlight the .pem, .crt and config file (renamed to xx.ovpn)” 
/rw/config/qtunnel

Optional - Change config DNS:
setenv tunnel_dns '208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220'

cd /rw/config/qtunnel
sudo ln -s xx.ovpn qtunnel.conf
(xx is the VPN client config)

Restart AppVM...look for “Links is up” pop-up

[qubes-users] Announcement: Parts of the Qubes OS website are temporarily down

2018-04-30 Thread Andrew David Wong
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

Dear Qubes Community,

As many of you have noticed, parts of the Qubes OS website are
temporarily down. The reason is that GitHub is doing unplanned
maintenance on GitHub Pages, the service that hosts the Qubes website.
During this maintenance, sites that rely on submodules (like the Qubes
site) will not build until the work is completed. They tell us that
they're working to restore submodule functionality as soon as
possible, but there's no ETA yet.

Please see this issue for more information:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3870

In the meantime, remember that you can always run your own local copy
of the website by following these instructions:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubesos.github.io#instructions

In addition, please remember that all of our documentation pages are
designed to be readable as plain text (Markdown) files. If you need to
refer to any documentation, it's still available in the qubes-doc repo:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-doc

We recommend having your own local copy of this repo.

Depending on the hardware you can completely remote administrate the server
using Intel AMT.
It allows you to remotely control the hardware even when the device is
switched off but connected to the LAN.
Using AMT you can open up a VNC connection to the server.
AMT will allow you to remotely control and restart a server even it has
crashed into a blue/purple screen.

This technology is the reason that some people are flashing their BIOS
(Coreboot) in order to get rid of this piece of software.
I am using AMT with my corporate Q
laptop which runs Qubes OS.
On my 2nd Laptop a X230 I am running Coreboot to get rid of AMT.

Thanks for the detailed answer.  I may consider a straight up xen hypervisor 
host for those reasons.  Physical compromise is unlikely.  I have no 
neighbors...at least none who would care to hack my computer system.  The only 
one even remotely capable is a trusted friend...who I would call to physically 
touch something if needed.

Here are my notes/instructions I made based on yours, I drag and drop some 
files into terminal(vs purely command lines):

Using qTunnel:

For Debian proxy, add OpenVPN package to your VPN template:
su
apt-get update && apt-get install openvpn unzip

Download and transfer file to template
https://github.com/tasket/qubes-tunnel.git

cd “Then drag downloaded file into terminal from tasket”
sudo bash ./install

Create proxy AppVM using VPN template: sys-VPN
Colour: Green
Provides Network  Checked
connect to sys-net
Launch settings  - Checked

Settings:
Add files and Terminal to Applications
Add “qubes-tunnel-openvpn” to services

Move VPN config files to new proxy AppVM

Open proxy AppVM terminal:
sudo mkdir /rw/config/qtunnel

sudo /usr/lib/qubes/qtunnel-setup --config

Enter VPN name and password

sudo mv “Then highlight the .pem, .crt and config file (renamed to 
“openvpn-client.ovpn)” /rw/config/qtunnel

Optional - Change config DNS:
setenv tunnel_dns '208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220'

cd /rw/config/qtunnel
sudo ln -s xx.ovpn qtunnel.conf
(xx is the VPN client config)

Restart AppVM...look for “Links is up” pop-up

[qubes-users] HCL - Dell Inspiron 13 5387 - Qubes 4.0

2018-04-30 Thread NaBaCo
Installation worked well, with only EFI post-installation boot problem
that was solved with this fix:

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/#boot-device-not-recognized-after-installing

Main points:
1. I'm unable to start HVM from ISO's. They all crash while loading.

2. Since the touch screen is on the same USB controller as all the other
USB ports, it's locked inside sys-usb, meaning it's unusable. I'm not
willing to write a proxy, due to security considerations, so I'm
thinking to send the computer to Dell and ask them to reconnect it to a
separate controller.

3. I'm not using a TPM yet, but I know the laptop has such an option.

4. Suspend works very well, very fast. The only problem is post resume
screen locking, which I know is an X11 problem.

5. Hibernate doesn't work at all (when given a command there's either no
reaction or the screen locks), but I think this is done purposely on Qubes.

6. Microphone, camera, and USB pass-through to VMs works perfectly.

I had Qubes 3.2 before hand which also worked well. I had to apply the
same EFI fix after installation. At first the suspend didn't work,
freezing at resume, so I had to update the kernel (including updating it
in the BOOT folder, as written in the aforementioned fix) to fix it.

I'm using a Thinkpad w530 and I had to play a little bit with BIOS settings, 
since virtualization does not play well with graphic card.

So I had to enable virtualization in BIOS (it's disabled by default) and then 
use integrated graphics (if no external monitor is connected) or optimus (if I 
have a external monitor).

After finding the right combination of these settings, I could boot without 
issues.

Hope this helps.

Adding this to my config:

instead of:
setenv vpn_dns '208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220'

worked. 

Both http://welcome.opendns.com/ and https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ show that 
OpenDNS are being used.


I am more then happy to help test, I was planning to make the shift but my DNS 
wasn't working...all good now. Thanks for the help...

I'll move my sys-VPNs to this new project...I was just reluctant to make the 
move as my DNS was not showing correct. All good now!

Thanks again...if anything comes up I'll report back. If you want me to try 
something more then happy to help...

Are you sure its fine?  You can't even download the iso to a default qube its 
so big.4.7gb is the size of a normal dvd.  And thats the same space I 
needed to download the iso sucessfully.  Thats cutting it pretty close, you 
sure a bigger dvd wouldn't help?

Its working when I try it. On dnsleaktest.com, your VPN provider IP 
should always appear on the first page. Then when you click on a test 
button it should show "OpenDNS, LLC" in the ISP column. The OpenDNS 
addresses will also show up in the log alongside "Using DNS servers...".


The problem is you're mixing instructions from the two different 
projects. This thread is for testing qubes-tunnel but you said you were 
using Qubes-vpn-support (...but said you were using qtunnel* commands 
which belong to qubes-tunnel and are not correct for Qubes-vpn-support).


If using 'qubes-tunnel-openvpn' service for your VPN VM, your configs 
should reside in /rw/config/qtunnel and the setenv line that you add 
will be:


setenv tunnel_dns '208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220'

-

It would be nice, however, if you made the switch to qubes-tunnel to 
give us some testing feedback. :)

This seems to be a bigger issue than just that document, I'm getting 404
on all of the ones I'm trying at https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/. I'll
submit an issue if there isn't one already out there.

I'm confirming this bug. I'm also running Q4.0. It seems to me the
widget thinks at times that the VM is stuck, showing an endless
"loading" circle, and showing the logs and kill buttons, instead of the
shutdown button.

I think you are talking about manual partitioning here? That's the only
way I know too.

Modifying your steps a bit might make it easier:

— install Qubes to sda6 without the boot loader
— boot your primary Linux OS (the one that originally set up GRUB on your
HDD)
— run grub-mkconfig and/or edit grub.cfg manually to add entry for Qubes
— then Qubes should be bootable from sda6 via chainloading

I think you're talking about the manual partitioning step here? That's the
only way I know how too.

Modifying your steps a bit might make it easier:

 — install Qubes to sda6 without the boot loader
 — boot from your primary existing Linux install
 — run grub-mkconfig and/or edit grub.cfg manually to add an entry for Qubes
 — then Qubes should be bootable from sda6 via chainloading

I don't think that conclusion is warranted yet, or there would be a lot
more reports of that ldlinux.c32 error. I used the DVD to install my
systems and it worked fine in both UEFI and legacy once I got a
good/verified burn. Things to try to narrow down the problem:

- boot the DVD in UEFI mode
- try the DVD on a different system
- use a USB drive instead
- since Qubes mostly uses the Fedora installer, try a web search for
"Fedora ldlinux.c32". When I tried it, the second hit was to a page about
problems created with a certain burning tool, thus my earlier suggestion
to use the one built in to Debian.

- when the XEN network interface appears, /usr/lib/qubes/setup-ip
 script is run by udev (see /etc/udev/rules.d/99-qubes-network.rules)

- /usr/lib/qubes/setup-ip gets the VM's definitions from dom0 with
`qubesdb-read /blah` and sets the network accordingly

you can change a VM's network prefs with `qvm-prefs vmname ip`,
`qvm-prefs vmname gateway`, ...; I see there's a bunch of `visible_...`
network prefs, no idea how those works nor nor how they're generated).

what do you mean by "same error", I think your just making it hard on 
yourself, by using Tor to finish the install, if your not using an SSD 
it *is very slow to do the final step  of creating the Templates, I 
suggest almost just let it run overnight at that stage , esp if you 
don't have an SSD,


It is a little confusing at that stage, I myself pulled out the USB 
media installer after it installed the 1st stage thinking I was done, 
but I believe better just leave the USB drive in place.and there 
really is no reason to use Tor  to install the Templates,  unless your a 
very high risk   seems to me .


just leave everything as the default,btw,  does your NUC  have the 
Vt-d  or IOMMU  ? and how much RAM?
