also it was a cloned repo that I had manually upgraded.  wouldn't know there 
was no error.  it would show it updating.  unless I did the -v to see the 
problems.

I don't think so in my case. 

regarding google chrome repo it was because I was forcing https over tor at the 
time.  and when it got updated it would keep reverting it back to http and then 
failing.   I would have to keep changing it back to https for it to update and 
get rid of arrow.

In case of the metadata error.  It was cause I had upgraded the template 
manually to new version and it must of cause some problems.  

For default repos this shouldn't happen anymore like in old Qubes versions.

2019-03-06 Thread haaber

when you update do -vv to show full information on update progress and see if 
there is any errors.

This sometimes happens to me if google chrome repo doesn't update for example.

Last time I did this it showed metadata erros.  so a  sudo dnf clean metadata  
fixed issue.


This may be related to my observation that when dnf / apt cache are too
large, automatic updates fail, without users being notified about the
reason of the non-update ?

ya most likely can be considered a security feature.  Joanna has mentioned 
herself in the past wallpaper images can compromise a system.  Maybe not 
purposely disabled but not worth to support either lol.  Defeats purpose of 
using Qubes with a dom0.

The only thing you really should be doing in dom0 is using qubes-dom0-update  
to upgrade and install available qubes packages if needed.

I know for sure I had same problem before. Can't remember what fixed it. 
Thought it was the repo.

Are you using latest Qubes version?  To get to 4.0 from 3.2 you have to do a 
clean install from boot disk.

[qubes-users] Re: Fedora 29 HiDPI Resolution

2019-03-06 Thread Daniil Travnikov
Today I have had another problem which I think indicates that the problem is 
not only in Fedora 29, it could me in Qubes too.



So, I today I had a problem with encoding when I tried to open one of my .txt 
file in 'gedit' editor.

To solve this problem I installed 'dconf-editor' package and started to 
configure it in Fedora 29 Template:

I gone through 'org - gnome - gedit - preferences - encodings' in 
'dconf-editor' and set - ['UTF-8', 'WINDOWS-1251', 'CURRENT', 'ISO-8859-15', 
'UTF-16']



Problem was been solved but guess what happened next? :)

This changes applies only in Template, because when I started AppVM based on 
Fedora 29 I repeat this sets in 'dconf-editor'.

[qubes-users] Issue with Qubes and Windows Tools

2019-03-06 Thread blaser . adrian
Hi Everyone

I just set up a Windows 7 Pro x64 VM and installed Qubes Windows Tools 
successfully, including the disk driver.

I did Windows installation with this help:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/windows-vm/

And installation von QWT with this help:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/windows-tools/

As I mentioned earlier, Windows and the QWT are working.
I had 2 bluescreens at the first 2 boots of the windows vm, but as I read this 
is normal.
Now the Windows VM is working fine.

I am running the following versions:
qubes-core.dom0: 4.0.38-1.fc25
qubes-windows-tools: 4.0.1-3
windows 7 pro, latest updates

Now, what is my issue:
Everytime I open a File from my windows vm in another vm or disposable vm, the 
vm is "hidden" behind the windows vm and I can not access it.
For instance: I select a logfile in windows -> send to -> Edit in VM. 
Then I see the Qubes Status in the top right corner. The selected VM is 
starting and some seconds later started. But the VM is not accessible.
I can see the vm running in Qubes Manager but I can not "select" it and pull it 
to the front or something like that.
It is like the vm is running in the tray but I cannot maximize it.
But, as soon as I shutdown my Windows vm, and its only working if I stop the vm 
fully, the selected vm pops up and shows the selected file.
If I do this with a disposable vm, the vm gets shutdown as well, as soon as I 
shutdown windows.

Can anyone of you help me with this issue?

As a workaroud I can open the files in selected vms and shutdown windows, but 
it is not really practical. Especially if I want to open something in a 
disposable vm, because I cannot grab the disposable vm before its stopping as 
well.

Thanks in advance!
Kind regards

Still the same problem:

[user@fedora-29-clone-1 ~]$ localectl set-locale LANG=C.utf8
[user@fedora-29-clone-1 ~]$ echo Xft.dpi: 220 | xrdb -merge
:0: warning: Unknown encoding: C.UTF-8

Also I tried to install 'glibc-all-langpacks' package, but nothing.
