Re: [qubes-users] Unable to create set templates as disposable vm templates

[George Chen]

Problem solved, the method is still usable, and was due to my own
incompetence. The error only appeared since I was attempting to convert a
template vm to a disposable vm template, rather than just converting an
appvm, based on the template vm, to become a disposable vm template.

Could you recommend another way to convert templates to disposable vm
templates?

[qubes-users] Qubes Firewall, how to use Tor Browser's Tor on fresh installatiion for a first update of Qubes OS and to download templates

[George Malloy]

Hi!

I am new to qubes, could you please explain me is there a possibility to setup 
manually predownloaded Tor Browser's Tor on the fresh Qubes 3.2 installation so 
the Whonix GW template I wish to download for every following template 
downloads and updates on Qubes to go through the tor since the first connection 
of OS to the internet? I know that Tor Browser provides the proxy ip through 
which all the traffic goes through Tor, is there is a way to offline configure 
the Qubes OS to route all traffic for the updates, time server sync, template 
downloads and literally all the other traffic through that proxy? So thr ISP 
wouldn't know that i use Qubes right from the start

Yes. I get the same issue too. I can read the message, but I can't write, and 
I'm also in Debian-8 VM on Qubes 3.2, with Enigmail and Thunderbird. I can READ 
messages, but I can't send them, nor verify/encrypt/sign them. I'm not sure 
what to do with this...

I actually can't even lock the screen with Ctrl+Alt+L. I went over the 
~/.xscreensaver config file and just about every other thing mentioned online, 
but no matter what I do, it just blanks the screen without locking. I'm on 
XFCE. I found out the KDE one worked just fine though, but only in the KDE 
session. 

Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but I tried anything I could come up with 
for fixing it and it's not working for me.

Works within the AppVMs on our HiDPI displays. Fortunately, Qubes Team is 
working on addressing HiDPI.

Dude. This is awesome for the AppVMs. My eyes are no longer bleeding from 
reading standard print size font on a 15" 4k screen nor bleeding from scaling 
in xrandr.

[qubes-users] Re: HCL - Lenovo Y50-70

[george . sopko]

Thanks! I got it to work with 3.1 RC2. However, I got it to work via legacy USB 
boot. Whenever I tried UEFI I never got the Qubes installer splash screen so I 
went back to legacy boot support and did a legacy USB boot and it worked.

Now, those pesky 4K optimizations. Fedora is beast at 4K, wish they could copy 
that functionality in regard to the display.

And then I'll look at the WLAN card, etc.

Thia:

Can you list the steps that you used to accomplish this? I also have a Y50-70 
and I get the initial splash screen, I get error messages in regards to the 
pane, and then it just hangs until I press the power button.

Thanks,

George
