[qubes-users] Usability of Qubes Tools for Windows 10
Hi, well I have read the documentation of installing Qubes Windows Tools ,link: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/windows-tools/ Especially the known limitations of that software on, link: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3585 . Also I discovered this video tutorial on you-tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mGop1B-kqU . The author, Mr. Chris Titus, of this video, which is from October 27th in 2019. Came to the conclusion that it is at that moment not advisable to install Qubes Tools for Windows. Therefore I have this question: Do you think this issue changed in the meantime? Or is it better to wait for some time until the team of Qubes OS have programmed the necessary software. So that everything is running smoothly. Since I am not in a hurry to install Qubes Tools for Windows. All advice is appreciated. Thank you.

[qubes-users] Performance problems during video conference
I suffer performance problems, specially with the audio, during video conferences (webex, zoom etc). Since the default of audio_low_latency is true, what could be the problem? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I inadvertantly booted my computer with my defucnt instalation plugged in and it booted my desktop drive on my laptop... go figure, but regardless I was now able to use Jarrah's response to mount and copy over most of the appvms (actually just mounted, tar'd up the entire thing, and saved to trusted ext drive). Thanks Jarrah! Nice work. Glad it worked out for you. Caveat though, two actually, a few of the appvms gave errors, most of them were not hugely important appvms but the second issue (kinda) is about the possbility of copying the whole appvm, more specifically I have some vpn proxy vms which (for me) wasnt easy to setup so I was hoping to copy the whole appvm over to the new installation... I have tar'd the entire contents/configs of each of those vpn proxy vms but wasnt sure if that would be sufficient? The /rw/config directory (just /config in the private image you copied) should be enough, depending on how you configured it. You should be able to make a new VM, overwrite its files with these and reboot. Your VPN should "just come up". Thanks, unfortunately though for teh VPNs its not working, in that i go to something like ifconfig.co and it tells me i am ... well where I actually am. Is there a way to diagnose this? Or maybe its time to use the users contribution repo (or whatever it was called) as i noticed it had a package to setup a vpn, though it was not clear to me if it was taskett's version that had a kill swtich? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] qubes template centos-8 can not update: dependency-hell broken!
Hi the dependency hell of cubes-8 is broken because of special qubes tools demanding a package that was renamed, I guess. bash-4.4# dnf update Last metadata expiration check: 2:08:46 ago on Thu 15 Oct 2020 12:27:13 PM UTC.

[qubes-users] recording qubes-sessions e.g. videos
Hi all, I found a script to record cubes sessions, e.g. videos on
webbrowsers.
The problem is that it does not record the sound!
The media vm is based on debian10 template with a lot of stuff installed in
my case.
Any Idea to solve this? Here is the script that I collected from github.
The printf is for debugging.
user@media:~$ cat record_screen.sh
#!/bin/bash
#pass in alsa or pulse to record from sound device
IFS=$
#omit the top pixels to hide tabs and address bar
FIREFOX_Y_BUFFER=94
FIREFOX_X_BUFFER=2
if [[ ${1} =~ alsa ]] ; then
sound="-f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0"
printf "alsa sound"
fi
if [[ ${1} =~ pulse ]] ; then
sound="-f pulse -ac 2 -i default"
printf "pulse sound"
fi
echo $sound
output=`xwininfo`
width=`echo $output | grep Width: | awk '{print $2}'`
height=`echo $output | grep Height: | awk '{print $2}'`
topleftX=`echo $output | grep "Absolute upper-left X:" | awk '{print $4}'`
topleftY=`echo $output | grep "Absolute upper-left Y:" | awk '{print $4}'`
winid=`echo $output | grep "Window id:" | awk '{print $4}'`
window=`xprop -id $winid WM_CLASS`
window=${window##*WM_CLASS(STRING) = }
window=${window##*, }
window=${window//\"}
window=`echo $window | sed 's/:/_/g'`
if [[ ${window} =~ Firefox ]] || [[ ${window} =~ Icecat ]] ; then
topleftY=$(( ${topleftY} + ${FIREFOX_Y_BUFFER} ))
topleftX=$(( ${topleftX} + ${FIREFOX_X_BUFFER} ))
width=$(( ${width} - ${FIREFOX_X_BUFFER} ))
height=$(( ${height} - ${FIREFOX_Y_BUFFER} ))
fi
ffmpeg -video_size ${width}x${height} -framerate 25 -f x11grab -i

[qubes-users] Re: Performance problems during video conference
We had a similar problem that we were able to fix with ALSA. In the Dom0 terminal type "alsamixer" and check the Mic setting. Ours was originally set at a level of zero (negative dB gain). Setting it to a level of 100 (dB gain of 12) fixed the problem for us.

[qubes-users] Re: Oryx Pro laptop (BOOTX64.cfg for Qubes 4.0.1)
Hi, I can open the .iso with "nano vim" but ultimately that doesn't get me to > the config file /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.cfg that is described but not named in > the following post. If you trying to change .iso-file with via opening in 'vim' or any other editor, then you don't need to search bootx64.cfg. You can just find those lines which you need to edit via CTRL-F or other command for you editor to find the lines which you need to change. I'm also rather concerned why there are two "Original Installer ISO" files > described here. Why doesn't he just list the filenames? > Actually I don't remember if there any 2 .iso-files. You could printscreen this to clarify this moment. I'm also having difficult saving files to the .iso > If you did the command: 'chmod u+w /path/to/file.iso' and it didn't help you, then you can try to use any live-system of any Linux system like Fedora/Ubuntu/Debian where it is worked always correctly for me. For example at first time on Windows it did not worked for me, but about month ago I tried the same Notepad++ on Windows and it worked. I don't know what changed. I stopped looking for answers if something concerns the Windows OS :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
