Re: [qubes-users] Re: USB Controller passthru to HVM on Qubes 3.1

2019-08-05 Thread Pete Howell
I do have a system running 3.2, but I can't keep Windows 7 running on it -- it 
just dies after 10 minutes or so.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I launched the HVM from the command line in the 
hopes I might see an error, but the system starts up clean -- just no device 
showing on Windows.

[qubes-users] USB Controller passthru to HVM on Qubes 3.1

2019-07-30 Thread Pete Howell
I'm trying to passthrough a StarTech 2-Port USB 3.1 Card (#PEXUSB312A2) to 
an HVM running Windows 7, and the device does not show up.  The device 
shows up in an lspci as:

01:00.0 USB controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. Device 2142

$ xl pci-assignable-list
:01:00.0
:03:00.0
$ xl pci-assignable-add 01:00.0
libxl: warning: libxl_pci.c:636:libxl__device_pci_assignable_add: 
:01:00.0 already assigned to pciback

I have tried attaching it from the VM manager and from the command line:

$ qvm-pci -a win7 01:00.0
$ qvm-start win7
(no errors)
$ qvm-pci -l win7
['01:00.0']

What I don't understand is why the device doesn't show up in the device 
manager on Windows.  The driver software for Windows also doesn't see the 
device.

Is there something that I'm missing to get the passthrough to work on a 
Windows HVM??

Re: [qubes-users] Dell XPS 15 9570 UEFI Issue

2019-07-10 Thread Pete Howell
Can you post the link to the instructions you followed, please.  I did finally 
give up on this and am back to Windows 10 on my Dell laptop; but, I'd like to 
give it another try.

I should also mention that the ISO would never boot properly from the UEFI 
partition on the USB stick, so I'm guessing that since the installer would only 
boot in legacy mode, that that may be part of the reason I get a successful 
Qubes install with no UEFI boot partition.

Does anyone know why the Qubes 4.0.1 image does not boot in UEFI?  The 
partition shows up to boot from, but you just get a blank screen and no 
installer.

I meant to say that the xen.cfg file was 0 length; not the efi file.

[qubes-users] Dell XPS 15 9570 UEFI Issue

2019-05-28 Thread Pete Howell
I had a problem with v4.0.1 hanging halfway through the install, but adding 
"mapbs=1 noexitboot=1" seems to have fixed the issue.  Unfortunately, the 
system does not boot -- it does not see a bootable device.

I tried following the UEFI troubleshooting article to no avail.  Copying 
/boot/efi/EFI/qubes to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT with all the accompanying 
instructions did not work.  I did notice that the xen-*efi file was 0 length, 
so I also followed the instructions on adding the entries (with the correct 
file versions of course), but the last instruction talks about running the 
efibootmgr command, which doesn't run because there is no efivars kernel module.

I personally hate UEFI, but these newer systems leave you no choice -- you 
CANNOT boot from an internal drive without it.  Does anyone know how to resolve 
this?  I have a nice and very expensive brick that I'd like to turn into a 
production system.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I switched to the new FC25 template and now get a checksum doesn't match on

Anyone have any ideas?

[qubes-users] Re: Qubes Windows 10?

2017-08-23 Thread Pete Howell
I tried to pull from the testing repository with the following:

> qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-current-testing qubes-windows-tools

It lists version 3.2.2-3 as available, but downloaded failed -- "All mirrors 
were tried".

How can one get the test version?
