You might ask why ReactOS and Android are so hidebound in their expectations for block devices. This is more of a hack than a patch, so I think it unlikely it will be incorporated in to Qubes. On the issue of a template, you can install reactos as a template HVM, and spawn other qubes off it. I could point you to an example if that would be helpful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] How to edit Qubes R4.0.3 ISO image file in Windows 10 system
Data Eight: I am trying to install "Qubes-R4.0.3-x86-64 OS" on Windows 10 UEFI system. Using Rufus created bootable media (DD image option selected). The installation is done (till the message that qubes successfully installed and ready to go) but after first reboot, the black screen not proceed further. I found to add two lines (bootnoexit=1; mapbs=1) in each kernel section within bootx64.cfg file within EFI folder. But it is not working in Windows 10. Since I am a New user to Qubes OS, I request help in this issue (Can't logging to Qubes). Thanks in advance for your help. Could you download a bootable Linux distribution of some kind and temporarily use that to edit the ISO? -- - don't top post Mailing list etiquette: - trim quoted reply to only relevant portions - when possible, copy and paste text instead of screenshots -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Dear Unman, Please, why Qubes chooses to use /dev/xvda differently then the other softwares are expecting? Since there is already a patch, it should be permanent to minimize problems.

[qubes-users] Re: Qubes Canary 025
Dear Qubes Community, Several users have pointed out a mistake in the canary below. "March 2020" should instead be "March 2021". This was just a typographical error. We will be fixing this and updating the signatures on the canary. Thank you. On 12/12/20 6:22 AM, Andrew David Wong wrote: Dear Qubes Community, We have published Qubes Canary 025. The text of this canary is reproduced below.

[qubes-users] Screenreader - accessibility
Thank you for the replies! This definitely helps me to understand Qubes better. If this is the process for an application being passed along with dom0, would it be possible to actually use this process to an advantage in my case? If you are saying what I think you are and essentially a scanned image (bitmap) of the application or whatever you have open is passed on, wouldn’t it be possible to implement an OCR program at this stage to convert the image into plaintext, which could then be read by any screenreader. My original plan was to try installing orca on dom0. I’m not sure if it is even compatible, but it may be worth a shot after reading the link to the “issue” on Github.(?) Reading that link also gave me an idea. Blind and visually impaired people obviously cannot benefit from the colored ribbons like those of you with vision. However, somewhat of an equivalent thing could be done by changing the voices spoken for a given app or Qube. A subtle change in pitch would suffice. Anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself. Step one is just virtualizing my first Qube. FYI: please edit this bid out if not allowed. I couldn’t find that this wasn’t, but I understand if it is... I want to use this operating system and have it available and accessible for people like me so bad that I would even pay for it to be something incorporated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Chromium causes OpenVPN VM to constantly reset connection
Hello, my setup is as follows: Debian 10 AppVM (Chromium) - OpenVPN VMs (Mullvad or ProtonVPN, with Qubes-VPN-support made by Chris Laprise) - sys-whonix - clearnet Recently I found that whenever I use Chromium inside my AppVM, OpenVPN always constantly reconnects. I looked up OpenVPN log and found these messages appeared many times: Connection reset, restarting [0] TCP/UDP: Closing socket SIGUSR1[soft,connection-reset] received, process restarting Restart pause, 5 second(s) Both Mullvad and ProtonVPN VMs have this issue. I tried different Chromium versions, namely official 83.0.4103.116 in Debian Stable repo, ungoogled-chromium 84.0.4147.135-1.buster1 and 87.0.4280.67-1.unportable1, and Chromium 88.0.4287.0 AppImage. Only official 83.0.4103.116 does not cause this issue. But I prefer ungoogled-chromium for privacy reasons. Is there any way to fix this?
