It is still 'bringing folders up to data', had .cache/thunderbird deleted 
but that did not help either.
Also forgot to add the high CPU Usage > 100% in xentop, no matter how many 
cores the Qube gets assigned, with or without memory balance and i doubt it 
has something to do with Qubes, just grasping for straws as i cannot find a 
solution to this.

Contrary to my believe i did had not searched for rhgb and just assumed it 
would be in the "options=" line.
You were right, after deleting it from the kernel i see dmesg messages and 
slight different UI for password. ESC key switches back and forth. 
Also adding pci=noaer in the kernel line finally removed the messages. 
Thanks.

Could not find a solution how, if even possible to pick which kernel to 
boot or/and modify kernel parameters before booting like i am used from 
grub by pressing 'e'.
Does UEFI Boot support this or/and how can i safely switch my setup to grub 
boot? I would like to see what happens when i remove the plymouth option (:

Re: [qubes-users] F2 stoped working after last kernel update

2019-09-17 Thread dimi


> Check to make sure "rhgb quiet" didn't get added to your boot options. 
> Also, isn't it ctrl-alt-F2, or is that only once inside XFCE? 
>

There is no rhgb quiet in /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg 
I have been pressing just F2 to unlock Kernel with passphrase for over a 
year now and i was being able to read dmesg messages until XFCE login 
prompt.
Already tried combinations of ctrl-alt-F2, alt-ctrl-Fx, alt-Fx and none 
shows the console.

Today's Kernel update showed some dmesg but way after kernel unlocking and 
right before XFCE Login.

My guess, it might be driver related. I do run qubes with a rx 480 since my 
mobo/cpu does not have intel grafix.

My xen.xfg,
options=loglvl=all dom0_mem=min:1024M dom0_mem=max:4096M iommu=no-igfx ucode
=scan smt=off pci=noaer

(Since install, there have been countless pcieport :00:01.1: AER: 
Corrected error received: :00:01.1 messages with PCIe Bus Error: 
severity=Corrected from the rx 480 and tried to stop displaying them with 
pci=noaer but the option has not helped yet.)

Since i do not exactly remember where i added the pci=noaer, i cannot find 
/etc/default/grub to eddit options, could you be so kind and point as to 
where one modifies kernel options?

[qubes-users] Re: Whonix 15 has been released

2019-07-03 Thread dimi
I think the whonix upgrade guide is missing how to handle the a) renaming of 
the now upgraded templates or b) deleting them. I tried renaming 14 to 15 and 
ended up with new templates having the upgraded name with 15 in them. Maybe 
this is just a problem with Qubes Manager.

Please advice how to proceed, delete the new 15 templates and manually rename 
the 14 ones to 15 or manually delete the upgraded 14 templates?

Used to run Gentoo with qemu / kvm and was passing through 3 GPU's each running 
win10 for over a year. It took some time to setup and was a fun project to 
figure out things. There was no lag or crashes and Games were running smooth 
thanks to vfio! Of course bare Metal would be faster but Benchmarks tend to go 
from 3% to 5% lower ratting, nothing that worried me.

1) yes, plenty of reboots have happened
2) pure r4 install here, are you suggesting rm command to delete or some other

3) well since i deleted the VM's and/or Templates why would i need to keep
