[qubes-users] QWT and win updates

[Franz]

I installed again windows following this
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/windows-vm/#xen-pv-drivers-and-qubes-windows-tools

Windows now is working and fully updated but no additional driver is
installed.

Reading this tutorial many times, for me, it is not yet clear what the
following means:

"If you plan to update your newly installed Windows VM it is recommended
that you do so *before* installing Qubes Windows Tools (QWT). If QWT are
installed, you should temporarily re-enable the standard VGA adapter in
Windows and disable Qubes’ (see the section above)."

Does it mean that once QWT is installed I can no more regularly update my
system, unless every time remember to do some strange and not well
understood VGA tweaking?

This seems very strange because on 3.2 I always updated windows even if QWT
was already installed, with no issues.

So did this really change with Qubes 4.0

Best

You're right. It isn't how disposableVMs are supposed to work.

The obvious question is, what did you select when you "did" open-in-vm?
If you selected an appVM, have you made sure that you have made that
appVM in to a template for disposableVMs?
(qvm-prefs  template_for_dispvms True)

Also check to see what you have set in
/etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.OpeninVM  and
/etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.OpenURL

unman




What I did/have done is for secure printing(per Qubes docs advice) , 
cloned fedora-29 -> fedora-29printtemplate,  then I use the clone as the 
template for an AppVM (named fedoraprintqube).


when I do :
$qvm-prefs fedoraprintqube

template - fedora-29printtemplate
template_for_dispvms - True

$qubes-prefs

default_dispvm - fedoraprintqube


re: "what did I choose"  there is only 1 choice  in Thunderbird
Open-in-dispvm

right click and choose and it open the atttachment in a dispvm


re: rpc policy  everything is as default setup


further the AppVM in which Thunderbird is  running  has it's  default 
DispVM  set to:  fedoraprintqube




is there some  directory  I  should  clear  where  dispVM  information 
would be stored to  perhaps  reset  the system ?



or any further ideas  welcome  regards

If their project came to terms with the historic vulnerabilities of the 
Windows architecture, then it would be a natural step for them to 
emphasize vm guest support. Their apparent emphasis on bare metal tells 
me they are probably more focused on supporting high performance games.


We still have a choice between running real Windows, or WINE in Linux. 
The nice thing about WINE is, if you know your apps will run on it, then 
you have a system that is much easier to maintain than Windows itself.

Hi Joe,

The norm on this list is to use bottom posting (like this), rather than
top posting.

The message that you have now suggests an issue with one of the NICs
that you have allocated to sys-net. Confirm this in journalctl.
If you see a message "unable to reset PCI device" then you need to
configure Qubes to work round this.
Have a look at:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/assigning-devices
(This should be a FAQ because it comes up quite often).

Open the Qube manager, and select sys-net, then open the QubeSettings.
(Right click on qube name, select from Qube Menu, or use icon.)
On the Devices tab you will see the Devices attached to the sys-net
qube.
Click on the "Configure strict reset.." button at the bottom of the
pane, and then select the PCI device and click OK.

See if you can now start sys-net.
If not, please check the logs and report any error message you see.

So they got better at running on bare metal, but still clueless about 
running as a VM guest.




Sergio, are you working with/on the ReactOS project? Or maybe tracking 
what the devs are up to?
I just ask because it seems to me that the reactos project would be 
perfect for those of us that are forced to run some win apps. Just 
curious about if/how much they are prioritizing VM guest support - and 
how hard/easy that would be?

I suppose that puri-craptops is a "hint" to puri.sm hardware. I have no

their phone and I don't exclude to evaluate one of their laptop too in
the far future.
I see that you refer to 100% blobbed closed source and I don't
understand clearly what you mean. Could you please clarify or point me

[qubes-users] Boot Loop after Update

Only after changing to default=4.14.74-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 can boot my system 
again.
NOTE: deleting 'iommu=no-igfx' did not solve the problem

Does anybody know what is the problem? 
Is this a problem with the upated kernel version?
What is happening with future updates? Shall I apply them?

Thank you in advance for your time!
