sudo qubes-dom0-update --releasever=4.0 runs without errors and does
update a number of packages.

Upon reboot, sudo qubes-dom0-update without the releasever parameter,
now runs without errors, but of course has no updates pending this time
around, so not a full test.

It appears to originate form the "metalink" field

And no, I haven't (knowledgedly) tinkered with the configuration.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Ethernet port in an USB-C dock - failure to attach to sys-net

[Kristian Elof Sørensen]

Interesting.

the sys-usb is indeed listes as "Type: NetVM"

However the ethernet device does not show up when running ifconfig or the 
"Network Connections" gui program.

When plugging in the USB-C dock, I see this:

[user@sys-usb ~]$ sudo dmesg -w

No other network device than "lo" is listed? I would have expected either eth0

None observed

Same as with the 4.8.12-12 

That means quite a lot of hardware does not work or are not recognised
by the kernel. 

This is on a very recent i5-7200U based ASUS B9440U laptop with its
accompaining USB-C dock.

Powermanagemet in general is sorely missing on laptop with Qubes.
(batterylife is 3-4 hours instead of approx. 10, the monitor backlight
never turns off despite the screensaver turning the screen black, the
keyboard backlight does not work and the fan runs nearly all the time.

> 4) General feedback on the 4.9 kernel.

Well I look forward to kernel 4.10 and 4.11 and hope to see them soon
on Qubes.

Othervise I will have to end my Qubes experiment on this laptop and
install something else, in order to get actual work done.

[qubes-users] USB-C docking & ethernet fun with the Asus SimPro and MiniDocks

[Kristian Elof Sørensen]

Hello

Using an Asus B9440U laptop connected via USB-C to an Asus SimPro dock
and an Asus MiniDock, I see some ports work, some not and some weird
behavior.

Qubes R3.2 
kernel 4.4.14-11 
xen 4.6.1

Having followed https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb/ the following works:

 + USB stick
 + SD card
 + USB keyboard + mouse
 + VGA + HDMI 
 - Gigabit Ethernet
 ? Audio + Displayport - untested so far
 
Both docks show up as devices in dom0 qvm-usb output:

[@dom0 ~]$ qvm-usb 
sys-usb:2-1.3   1fc9:500d NXP_SIMPRODOCK_PD_2.100_098e0695
sys-usb:2-8 8087:0a2b 8087_0a2b
sys-usb:2-2.2   2109:0101 
VIA_Technologies_Inc._USB_2.0_BILLBOARD_0001

NXP being the SimPro Dock and VIA the MiniDock. The third device is the 
internal USb device in the laptop.

When I plugin an USB stick or SD card or keyboard or mouse, they do
show up as individual devices in the dom0 qvm-usb output when plugged
into the MiniDock, but not when plugged into the Simpro Dock. 

In both cases they do show up in the sys-usb lsusb output

In both cases they work fine.

The gigabit ethernet device do show up in the sys-usb lsusb output, but
since it does not show up in the dom0 qvm-usb output I cannot attach it
to a vm.

[@sys-usb ~]$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 033: ID 0b95:1790 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet
...

Any idea how usb devices can work fine while not showing up in the dom0
qvm-usb output? 

How do I get the gigabit ethernet device in the SimPro Dock to work?
Not knowing its device ID I cannot attach it to a VM.

[qubes-users] HCL - ASUSPRO B9440U

[Kristian Elof Sørensen]

Hello

Having played with Qubes 3.2 on my new laptop for a couple weeks, it is
time to share my findings. The HCL file is attached to this email.

  ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC
  B9440UA
  Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz
  Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a)
  qubes: R3.2
  xen:   4.6.5
  kernel: 4.8.12-12
 
In general things started to work out ok once I upgraded the kernel to
4.8.12, there was all sorts of weird problems before that upgrade,
which I will spare you.

Status with kernel 4.8.12-12:

Wifi, keyboard, touchpad & screen works. Batterystatus indicator seems
to be honest.

Daily use in general works fine. I have created an usb-vm, a windows10
vm as well as several others and used the machine for daily work (java
development, databases, email etc) for a while. Performance and
responsiveness when running 4-5 vms and quite a few memory hungry
applications is surprisingly good.

Keyboard backlight cannot be turned on.

Battery life is only half as good as advertised by ASUS. Powermanagement will 
blank the screen but hibernation and suspend to disk does not work. There is an 
error message along these lines "powersave verb not supported" when the machine 
was supposed to go into hibernation or suspend to disk.

High res video eg. youtube is awfully slow & jerky in the fedora vms (haven't 
tried in windows ot debian vms yet). I suppose software rendered rather than 
GPU pass-through. I have not yet looked into if this might be configurable or 
some other drives might be available etc.

Audio does not work. When I add the "Audio device" to a VM using the "VM 
manager" I get a "You've enabled dynamic memore balancing, some devices might 
not work!" message. When I press on and try to start the vm, it fails to start 
with the message: "Internal error: unable to reset PCI device, no FLR, PM reset 
or bus reset available".



The Asus MiniDock that came with the laptop works like a charm (It is a
tiny USB-C 3.1 -> HDMI, USB-3.0 and USB-C 3.1 device). 
I have tested it with a 2560x1440 monitor, a VGA projector and a USB
stick. No problems observed.

The Asus SimPro Dick 1A works partly. 
USB-3.0 and the powerbutton works.
Ethernet does not work. No ethernet device shows up when plugged in. 
External monitors, does show a picture during boot. Erratic behavior
after login, sometimes it works fine, sometimes one or both external
monitors goes blank complaining of "no signal". Picture quality seem ok
when there is a picture.
Not yet tested: Audio, USB-C and SD-card reader
