[qubes-users] Create windows DispVM

2019-05-08 Thread collinblainehudson
Has anyone successfully created windows DispVM. I have a windows Install I'd 
like to make as a disposable template to open word documents if possible. Can 
you provide commands necessary to create the windows DispVM?

[qubes-users] Open word document in DispVM via cmd.exe

2019-05-08 Thread collinblainehudson
I'm trying using windows command to open a word document in another vm or 
DispVM. I understand this is handled with open-in-vm.exe and I think 
qrexec_client_vm.exe is used to pass the commands to open-in-vm.exe. I'm 
wondering if this is possible or if anyone has done this. Can you provide an 
example command?

Re: [qubes-users] Boot / Installer Problem

2019-05-08 Thread 'mich...@schefczyk.net' via qubes-users
Secureboot is disabled. As recommended in many forum entries on installing 
other Linux variants on this very device, network boot is also enabled (despite 
not booting from the network) - if not, it does not work either. However, UEFI 
is fixed as the only option available. As best as I understand, the device does 
not have Legacy BIOS boot anymore.

Is there anything else worth trying?

[qubes-users] nvme0n1 may not have enough space for grub2 to embed core.img when using the ext4 file system on lvm

2019-05-08 Thread joeh9617
Hello, I got this problem when trying to install R4.0.1 on my Lenovo Thinkpad 
P7.

It has 2 HDs of which the second contains an original Windows 10 install for 
which I can choose the boot loader if I want to run it.

On the first HD I have the following partitioning scheme in Anaconda:
Qubes Linux 4.0.1 for x86_64
System  920 GiB, device type: LVM encrypt, vol group: qubes_dom0, 
/file system: Ext4, Name: root
qubes_dom)-root

/boot/efi   100 MiB, device type: Standard partition, 
nvme0n1p3 file system: EFI System Partition, Name: nvme0n1p3

swap 30 GiB, device type: LVM encrypt, vol group: qubes_dom0
 file system: swap, Name: 00

Unknown
Unknown 128 MiB, 
nvme0n1p1

EFI Sys part200 MiB
nvme0n1p2

I guess these Unknown and EFI Sys Partition are there to have some boot loader 
for Windows.

Now when I accept these settings, I get the warning: "nvme0n1 may not have 
enough space for grub2 to embed core.img when using the ext4 file system on 
lvmlv"

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
BIOS is set to 'Legacy'.

2019-05-08 Thread Peter Thurner
You can install katoolin https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin in a debian
VM instead of installing kali itself.

This doesn't fix your problem but you can just use a working debian
template as a starting point.

[qubes-users] Loaded Kali in HVM- but it wont boot. should be a simple fix for someone with experience of Qubes.

2019-05-08 Thread ajwwoodward
I have installed Kali as HVM standalone VM, but when the installation shutdown 
at the end and i restart the VM I get the following boot message.


Seabios (version rel 1.11.2-0-gf9626cc prebuilt.qmeu-project.org)

Machine UUID

Booting from Hard Disk

Boot failed; not bootable disk

Booting from floppy

Boot failed: could not read the boot disk


No bootable device.

I installed my iso image on a device vxdb in install and then took the option 
to install the grub boot loader on the same device in the installation.


Is SEABIOS a virtual bios in QUBES and do i need to edit it? I'm not running 
coreboot on my lenovno t530.


Some points of note on the various Kali installs i did;

I could reach a time server, so the netowork routes were working.

I could never attach to a mirror and proceeded with just the ISO image

 
Any further advice would really help as it feels like I'm really close to this 
working now.

KDE does a lot a things better than XFCE. The three big issues for me 
were multi-monitor handling, screensaver behavior and color correction; 
plus about four more that are also important.


The tray icon issue is not really Qubes-specific and appears to be 
caused by apps using a particularly old 'appindicator' library in a 
particular way. Last year I created some tests to reproduce the problem 
from python, but there was no obvious workaround for users to change the 
behavior of existing apps.


Various troubleshooting threads around the net usually assume that KDE 
is installed with 'plasma-nm' widget, but my tests with a Qubes template 
running KDE show the problem still exists.

peter.palen...@gmail.com:

Thanks for the tip. It leads me to the next question:

How do i tell my sys-firewall VM to use two network VMs (sys-net and sys-usb)?

Thanks!

You can't do that. You can have multiple sys-firewall equivalents 
pointing to their own network VMs, and have a portion of AppVMs pointing 
as desired. Otherwise, you'd have to merge at least the USB controller 
handling your USB-Ethernet adapter into sys-net or your wireless 
controller into sys-usb.

Re: [qubes-users] "Run command doesn't work" in VM after updating vmtemplate

2019-05-08 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users

eduzw...@gmail.com:

I am on R3.2 I know its not supported. I am going to update to R4. But before I update. I have been 
running on 3.2 for for a week and I used the arch vm to download and save some work. I updated 
archLinux vmtemplate to install new pkgs. After update I shutdown template before running my 
archvm. When I shut down the vmtemplate I got the msgbox with "it has been more than 20s" 
"cancel or kill it" I killed archLinux vmtemplate to shut it down. Now my arch VM starts 
but will not run any command whatsoever. Qvm-run arch command doesn't work either.

Now If I start archlinux template I can not run any command in template as 
well. And if I run vmtemplate with arch vm. There's an indicator that looks 
like a loading arrows next arch VM under machine state column. But stopping 
vmtemplate so VM can commit changes doesn't work for some reason. Am I missing 
something

One of the updates must have broken a Qubes package. You should be able 
to switch your ArchVM to use a different template if you need to recover 
data from it. If you catch the problem quickly enough, you can roll back 
your template to an earlier version, but you only get one chance. Once 
you power it on twice, it's gone. Many Qubes users clone their templates 
before upgrading one of them and testing. That way, if there is a 
problem, the bad template can be deleted and the clone renamed.
