[qubes-users] Reminder: Please help test new updates and provide feedback!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Dear Qubes Community, If you're an experienced Qubes user, one great way to help the Qubes developers is by testing new updates and providing feedback. It only takes a minute to set up: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/testing/ Once you're receiving updates that are in testing, the important thing is to let us know what does and doesn't work for you. This can be as simple as reacting with a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" on the appropriate GitHub issue. The positive feedback (i.e., nothing bad has happened) is just as important as the negative feedback, since this helps us decide when it's okay to migrate packages to stable. This results in a faster development cycle for Qubes and a better experience for everyone. Thank you for contributing! - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEZQ7rCYX0j3henGH1203TvDlQMDAFAl1m88gACgkQ203TvDlQ MDAgmQ/+KVYSuECiz6cuCTd+bMYmwAevjcuSZHK5oydYZGFwkhX3wm2yXRGYqfDx FSOzFyjLwuEvMsOtMyTtuS9BDHDpSMRimZhl6V05n7plUAMzhZLM3eandTScQpmu 78f/120hnuoj+snd+dOfJHS3QR/x7RhxBi6KuHveTnKx44sigDR95H2scrisewlv /01yJUtZKA+gd6rNzpcJ+B4w+T0UT4m2nm60zTZ8ryVEIkmP7KTxrOstmvJMQXyi IE+1JvL3bQhfrWAjKKdqC2kEMbbm5sfg2LTSQjY9SfBQnPIdGBhIKtmpZm6Ngzi1 WZ5MmeCeQ+xkuBKQAXej6rRyyU0sxJlLeqOZcVOAls7cu4+8Dv8/66iCQMqXmev4 0cmT74o133yJ2/5Y9+niHlYS0DecRA0bhPFGh+xcOiVDouc95MLGYf3R/wI5Eo31 cJvogvXSXyo7R2HxnNGjTTTdm+va4ZzL2GKe9vxRgWQH+ynE2UzOvDcUiVRL6gDH mw3vBnenGpbopdG8UIizzaOapzztk6JdpDxnIbxWqH4muRu82NTSmyLlsojP8Ntp J6m77ETFAL/D/E6UarzGdAu1Q5Q+HpZFM/J8QKO3qetRjR7MiTO6Zj1XS8lONhZZ c77sShCcVPh2oJDI6/F+VWRbvtquWiwTNtPAL3ZgeyqbYdhnTkA= =RijG -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Do those Acers have a hardware peripheral in common between them, like a webcam? If so, disable it in BIOS, then try a reinstall. If not, disable all possible integrated peripherals (or enable all if you've disabled something) and try again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Panina, I hate to say this since class awareness is sorely lacking in tech, but in this case I dont agree with you. You dont need to buy the latest and/or shiny. If you look up any of the models mentioned previously on ebay (Lenovo T530/430, W530, X230) and upgrade those with an SSD you can have a fine Qubes laptop for $300 that will last you many years. I am personally using qubes for a few years on a laptop from 2014 just like this. Maybe this could be mentioned more clearly in the docs, many people seem to think that they need a new i7 with 16GB+ of ram. That is absolutely not the case. $300 is very different from $1500 but still definitely not free. If I take 'latest and shiny' a little less literal and by 'whatever we can get our hand on' you mean a laptop you can get for less than $200 or even for free, then I retract my point. However this is not really qubes can do something about. Hardware related projects have minimum hardware requirements, that hardware often (not always) costs money, and money is a class issue which it shouldnt be. Maybe somebody on the mailinglist works at a big company with lots of qubes-compatible laptops that get written of soon and these could be distributed trough the Qubes project? Or maybe somebody knows a foundation coordinating this kind of project or helping people out with hardware some other way? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
