Thank you, unfortunately looks like this laptop can't run qubes.

Thanks for the answer,
Well, the laptop is a samsung model NP300V5A

Intel Core i5 2410M / 2.30 GHz ( Dual-Core )
with a GeForce GT 520M

I looked up the BIOS settings as you suggested, there's nowhere something like 
the missing features. Only VT-x which says 'Supported'. Its Phoenix BIOS v.08F1
Not sure how to update this, i must look it up and ask again. Also most of its 
options seem to be locked by the manufacturer

[qubes-users] Installing: Missing features: IOMMU/VT-d/AMD-Vi, Interrupt Remapping

2019-01-02 Thread LefC
Hi, i'm trying to install Qubes for the first time, i am a total newb but eager 
to learn more about this interesting OS.
So i attempted an installation to my old wiped laptop and got this message 

Missing features: IOMMU/VT-d/AMD-Vi, Interrupt Remapping

And the warning that Qubes might not work properly. Does that mean that my 
machine is not able to run Qubes at all?? Is there anything that i may can do 
to make it work somehow?
To be honest, i did proceed with the installation, which completed normally 
without any issue but then the system was and is not able to boot Qubes. It 
leads to some Fail/error messages while booting. Is it because of the lacking 
hardware?
Is there any hope for my laptop and Qubes?

[qubes-users] How to download detached PGP sig of Qubes-R4.0-x86_64.iso.asc

2018-12-31 Thread LefC
Hi,

I am trying to verify my download and i am in the final step where i have to do

gpg -v --verify Qubes-RX-x86_64.iso.asc Qubes-RX-x86_64.iso

to verify the ISO file. The instructions claim that i can download the .asc 
signature and this is where i am really stuck. The download link just leads me 
to another page with the raw PGP signature-no download. I don't know how to 
import it to gpg to do the verification. Do i have to transform it to a .asc 
file or what?? I am extremely confused.

Appreciate any advice.
