Only difference was the GRUB dialog- in UEFI was black+white and in legacy with a blue coloured background. ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Sunday, 16 February 2020 11:46, A wrote: > Have you tried to installing Qubes OS 4.1 both in UEFI and in legacy mode > without success... ? > > --- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "qubes-users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to qubes-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/qubes-users/b92997ad-c856-4da7-8527-10843e7b2091%40googlegroups.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I built Qubes 4.1 (stable version) following the instructions in https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-builder/. I did this on the actual machine and had to re-install the OS with Fedora 31 as the building tool didn't support my original OS (Linux Mint 19.3, debian based). I was able to build and generate the ISO file successfully using the standard configuration. Loaded the ISO file into an USB using dd and it booted fine up to GRUB. Unfortunately, I was not able to go further from GRUB and got identical behaviour as before. Tried standard install, USB testing and troubleshooting mode but non of these worked. You mention that the video drivers might be included in Qubes 5.x- would you be able to point me to building instructions for this? I was not able to find any information on how to configure the building tool for version 5. I've only followed the standard+stable configuration- do you know how to add the necessary drivers as part of the building process? I came across this post https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/install-nvidia-driver/ which suggests a fix to issues with NVIDIA/AMD video drivers. I was hoping to use this to built-in the necessary drivers into the Qubes 4.1 OS build but was not able to get that far. Any ideas on how to do this?

Unfortunately this has not worked for me but thanks for your suggestion. Does anyone happen to know if the installation messages are saved somewhere? I would like to find out what triggers the installation to freeze (it all happens very quickly before it goes blank). ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Tuesday, 11 February 2020 13:11, wrote: > My Dell is newer and simply doesn't have legacy boot.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: failed Qubes 4.0.3 install on Dell Inspiron 14 5485
Thank you for your comment. Did you run this in UEFI or legacy mode? Also, how do you check that the parameters defined in BOOTX64.cfg are being used during boot? In legacy mode the parameters appear different from what is defined in the config file (you can check/edit the boot command by pressing TAB). ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Tuesday, February 11, 2020 7:39 AM, wrote: > Fellow Dell Inspiron user here, > > Your problems are different from mine, and I'm no expert, but maybe the > simple solution that worked for me might work for you: > > Mount the ANACONDA partition of the Qubes boot USB, then edit BOOTX64.cfg so > that kernel parameters include 'nouveau.modeset=0' > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "qubes-users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to qubes-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > [https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/qubes-users/9a4c0edc-4e6c-4b7c-968b-b0929396ca54%40googlegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/qubes-users/9a4c0edc-4e6c-4b7c-968b-b0929396ca54%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email_source=footer). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] failed Qubes 4.0.3 install on Dell Inspiron 14 5485
Hi there, I've been trying to install the latest release of Qubes (4.0.3) into a Dell Inspiron 14 5485 laptop (spec below) but having a few problems. I've followed the 'Installation Guide' to setup the correct BIOS configuration (AMD virtualization enabled and secure boot disabled) and load the ISO image of Qubes into a USB drive using the dd tool. I've tried a few BIOS configurations which problems I'll describe below: 1) default behaviour (UEFI mode): on boot I press F12 to choose boot media and select USB flash. The installation start and prints a couple of messages but then goes to a blank screen and freezes; 2) legacy mode: on boot I press F12 and choose the USB drive. It opens a pop-up with 3 options- install Qubes, test USB media and install Qubes or troubleshooting. Inside troubleshooting you've a few other options, including installing Qubes in graphics mode. The test media option doesn't display any messages (freezes straight away). If you choose any of the installation options, it will start printing messages but then shows a blank screen and freezes; 3) legacy mode: pressed TAB in the installation dialogue and edited the command to trigger display of more information (console=vga and removal of 'noerror' flag). The installation still frezed but I was able to read the last message (an error related with ACPI). 4) legacy mode (console=vga, 'noerror' flag removed and acpi=off): introduced acpi=off in the installation command. Was able to go a bit further but the installation still freezed. 5) I've also followed the instructions in https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/ (2 and 3 sections) but had no success (both in UEFI or legacy modes); 6) there is a setting in the BIOS for fast boot (options are minimal, Auto or through). None of these seem to make a difference both in UEFI or Legacy modes. Any ideas of what I could be doing wrong or other things to try? Happy to give more information if required.
