Re: [qubes-users] Asus Keyboard Backlight Not Working
1. Yea, the other LED controls are in /sys/class/leds/, but asus::kbd_backlight is missing. I did a bunch of find commands for any config file or folder that had backlight, keyboard, kbd, asus, or anything similar and didn't find it either. I tried to create the folder, but wasn't able to. I might just be out of luck unless there's some package somewhere I can download that creates the directory. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

oh I am dumb, perhaps try logging in with your template vm, do the key exchange, and then shut it down. It may stick into the appvm?

Now I understand what you've meant, regarding the movement of directories. This was related to running a Nextcloud Server within Qubes OS. In my case I am connected from an AppVM (Qubes OS) to an external Nextcloud-Server (not running Qubes OS). As all Client-settings _should_ be safe in an AppVM I don't understand why I need to login after the first boot of the AppVM and why even after login in, the synchronization is not working again.

Re: [qubes-users] Problem with NextCloud-Client App-VM (unable to login on 2nd boot)
OCC commands: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/16/admin_manual/configuration_server/occ_command.html#user-commands-label In qubes you have to specify the file path to occ(in the docs it lets you call occ by itself). So for a typical fedora/apache/nc install in the template you would enter: Sudo -u httpd(or apache) php /usr/share/nextcloud/occ [enter commands] OCC is your main way of administering nextcloud in qubes so that link will help. Qubes appvms do not keep anything outside of /rw so you would need to migrate the storage folder into /rw (https://help.nextcloud.com/t/howto-change-move-data-directory-after-installation/17170) Or you can declare certian folders or files to be persistent. https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/bind-dirs/ This is done in the appvm. Dont designate all of nextcloud to be persistent or if someone hacks the nextcloud appvm its there forever. It is bad enough you are doing it to the file folder. I assume you installed nextcloud in the template and set up an admin account in the process. So when you fire up the appvm anything you do in there will be erased until you add your users via occ in the template and preserve the file folder. Once you do all that it will work fine from your home network, exposing it to the world is a bit of a pain and introduces an attack vector obviously. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Asus Keyboard Backlight Not Working
adiaz1...@gmail.com: I just bought an Asus Zenbook 3 and was able to successfully install Qubes. Really enjoying it so far. I'm having trouble getting the keyboard backlight to work. I tried xset commands, configurations in xfce, and even tried to turn it on manually via the asus::kbd_backlight configuration folder. Unfortunately, that folder does not exist. Does anyone have any ideas what else I can try? I'd like to get the FN+F3 and FN+F4 shortcuts to work, but I"ll settle for jsut turning the LEDs on. I am often working in dark rooms and if I can't figure it out I'll probably end up switching distributions, which I really don't want to do. I really like Qubes so far. You might try to poke around in /sys/class/ and see if the keyboard backlight control is surfaced somewhere in there, unless that is what you mean by asus::kbd_backlight folder. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Thinking about it...that does make the most sense as some of the compatible docks can have quite a few USB 2.0 ports (presumably implemented as a hub) on them, so it make the most sense to have that controller separate. I won't guarantee this, but I suspect that the "alternate" interface (USB 2.0) in the expresscard slot is probably attached to the *primary* USB 2.0 controller on the Thinkpads then. Therefore the best approach in *most* cases where the user wants either best combined throughput or USB controller assignment flexibility is to utilize a 1-lane PCIe 1.0-based expresscard (e.g. with a one-or-two port USB 3.0 controller) instead of a USB 2.0-based expresscard. Brendan PS - The one caveat I will note with the expresscard interface is that it is an external PCIe interface, and may provide direct DMA into memory, similar to Firewire. You can see there are commercial products that utilize the expresscard interface here for memory forensics on running but locked machines: https://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Tools:Memory_Imaging I would be curious to see recent experiments showing how well Xen HVM IOMMU enforcement works to limit the scope of attacks using Expresscard, which Qubes + IOMMU *should* protect against. I just don't have the skills to create one or the $7800 it costs to purchase one of these devices (nor really the time) to do some testing... For those overly concerned, they may want to investigate other preventative methods (e.g. Does BIOS disabling of the expresscard interface have a security impact? Are there physical modifications that would prevent usage of acquisition devices? Are there other software mitigation (power-off on attach, etc.)) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Sorry my initial reply was the wrong answer. To set up a login that is persistant you need to do it in the template with the occ commands. Any user made in the appvm will not survive a reboot. The nextcloud storage area needs to be made persistant using the qubes-bind-dirs directory in the appvm, the qubes docs cover that.

[qubes-users] Problem with NextCloud-Client App-VM (unable to login on 2nd boot)
Youve got to set up your user names in the template. So fire up httpd in your template and use the occ commands to add users. Its inconvienent, but the appvm non persistance is the secuity feature that is also preventing anyone from embedding anything too nasty in your system. I have tried to find where specifically user data is stored if you really wanted to allow users to add themselves while the server runs and between reboots, but I recall not finding out much. This has been asked about on the NC forums as well. Youve also got to set up the storage area to be persistant between boots. This is easier to make non persistant. Follow the NC hardening guide to move the folder somewhere else, and then use qubes-bind-dirs to make that folder persistant. You would need to do the move in the template, but set up the bind-dirs in the app. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
