VS: [qubes-users] KDE Plasma in dom0 under R4.0.3

2020-04-11 Thread Michael Andersson
  This is true, I have one of the first P51 models and it used to have threewi options in the BIOS 1) integrated, 2) hybrid and 3) discrete.With integrated mode everything worked like a dream, also the HDMI output.But after I got some serious ‎problems after an year with the internal display (when powered up the display got distorted after few minutes), lenovo service changed the motherboard and after that there was only two options left in the BIOS (hybrid and discrete). Also the HDMI connector does not work anymore :(   Lähetetty Jolla Sailfish -älypuhelimestani.Lähettäjä: brendan.h...@gmail.comLähetetty: sunnuntaina 12. huhtikuuta 2020 1.53Päättymisaika: qubes-usersAihe: Re: [qubes-users] KDE Plasma in dom0 under R4.0.3On Saturday, April 11, 2020 at 7:10:18 PM UTC, Sven Semmler wrote:On Sat, Apr 11, 2020 at 02:48:17PM -0400, Chris Laprise wrote:

Funny enough, motivated by your comment I went and switched back to
"hybrid" (aka integrated) graphics ... and all my issues came back!

So while I am sure your statement is correct in general, on my
particular setup switching to the discrete graphics makes everything
work. Every rule has an exception I guess.
Hybrid graphics routing for nvidia optimus has changed over the years. On older laptop models, one could select among integrated, hybrid and discrete. For many of us, selecting integrated graphics was the most stable option.On more recent optimus laptops, integrated is no longer an option, you can only select between hybrid and discrete. I believe this limitation is due to how the signal routing now requires some level of firmware support in the discrete chipset to get video out. In any case, hybrid has always (nearly?) impossible to get working under Xen/Qubes...so the next best option has been making discrete work.Brendan

VS: [qubes-users] feature request

2020-01-25 Thread Michael Andersson
DWM can do this for you.it has inbuilt mechanims to Lock app windows to 
separate tags (Virtual desktops). Also you can define on which monitor this 
tags is and where you want to Lock it.

I'm using dwm on my everyday qubes thinkpads and it works great, all 
application windows goes there where I want them to go ‎and they don't mess my 
currently active "window".

Hello, I have several virtual screens; I guess many user have. Is it
possible to reserve one of them exclusively for dom0 and templateVM
terminals -sort of a separated "admin screen"- to avoid other
appVM-windows popping up and being able to capture input from keyboard?

VS: [qubes-users] Re: Update: HCL - LENOVO Thinkpad P51 (20hjs0bx00) for R4.0

2019-07-01 Thread Michael Andersson
Hi,

I have been using qubes + thinkpad p51 over an year now and no big problems. 
Only thing that caused problems was black screen after suspend but that was 
solved with correct XEN/kernel combination.

My p51 is with xeon processor and double gpu

Hi Sven,

I am almost certainly about to buy 
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B075TH6GBT/ , a ThinkPad P51 with an 
i7-7820HQ -- just like your machine above.

Should be very similarly compatible with Qubes 4.0, I hope.

Are you happy with how your laptop has turned out re: Qubes 4 compatibility?

Thanks!
