[qubes-users] Keyboard and mouse stopped working after upgrade to 4.1.2

Re: [qubes-users] How to login in tty
I wasn't even aware that I had an username there :D In Qubes it's always just "user" and when I log in after restarting the machine I can't remember to ever need to enter a username, just the password. User is probably already autofilled from previous logins. But it worked. I tried with the username I usually use and I could log in. Thanks!

[qubes-users] Can't start apps from VM
My development VM became quite slow because some kswapd0 (if I remember correctly) running at 100% all the time. I have my machine usually running 24/7, but I decided to restart to see if this helps (after increasing assigned memory). After I restarted the machine I wasn't able to start any app for this VM. I modified the template quite a lot since I restarted last time, so I wasn't too surprised. I tried creating a new VM based on the same debian-10 template and all went fine. Then I went away and when I came back my PC showed the lock screen and was frozen (I had this a few times in the past already). So I had to restart again. After this I couldn't start any application in the new VM as well. I tried to start Gnome Terminal from dom0:terminal but nothing happens. No error. The command just hangs until Ctrl-c. I couldn't find any log file with hints about possible causes. I can run the VM in debug mode and access the data from the tiny terminal window. Any ideas how to debug? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Integrate existing VirtualBox VM into Qubes
Thanks a lot! The suggested changes broke X11, but after removing the changes, the KDE display settings suddenly showed resolutions up to Full-HD which is alread a huge improvement. When I tried to get higher I run into the same issue as https://tutel.me/c/unix/questions/505863/qubesos+install+qubes+support+tools+in+hvm+to+fix+screen+resolution+and+copy+paste I have yet to try installing Qubes tools. Do you mean https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/minimal/#debian? Guest OS is Debian 10.

[qubes-users] Integrate existing VirtualBox VM into Qubes
Hi, I used to work in a VirtualBox VM. Now I got a new machine and on that occasion I started fresh with with Qubes OS (like it so far). I want to keep using the existing Virtualbox VM in Qubes. Perhaps I'll start with a new Qubes VM from scratch later if that provides any benefits, but for now I just want to be productive again. I was able to migrate the VM and have it running in Qubes already, but only the full desktop in a single host window. That's fine for now, but the max guest resolution I'm able to configure is 1920x1080 on a 4k host. Is there a way to fix that? Is there a way to make - copy-paste between other AppVMs and this VM work? - running individual apps in their own host windows work (like in other Qubes VMs) without creating the VM from scratch? Art there other things to consider? Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
