[qubes-users] Re: Installation on NUC6i7KYK

2017-04-27 Thread Ely105
Actually I was able to get it to work.   After many failed attempts I did use 
UEFI mode to do installation and then I did do those instructions for "no 
bootable device" you show. I didn't try babels instructions.  After I did that 
it booted right up.  And it's been working ok even after an update to dom0, 
even though it said after kernel updates you have to do it again.   I was 
noticing a weird issue where a browser in a given domain would freeze and I 
have to open another browser session to unfreeze it.

But one thing I did notice:  i tried using the minidisplayport connector 
instead of hdmi and it would not boot.  If I switched back to hdmi it was fine. 
 So I think one Bkm is to use HDMI ONLY for qubes.

[qubes-users] Re: Installation on NUC6i7KYK

2017-04-27 Thread informationcascade

Did you ultimately succeed?  

I have also have an Intel NUC 6i7KYK and have gotten Qubes 3.2 installed on 
the M2 SSD.
However, it won't boot.
I'm going to try the helpful instructions from babel, but there are some 
questions.  Here are the files on the USB install drive:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 982K Dec 10  2015 BOOTX64.efi
drwxr-xr-x 2 2.0K Sep 20  2016 fonts
-rw-r--r-- 1 1.1K Sep 20  2016 grub.cfg
-rw--- 1  22M Sep 20  2016 initrd.img
-r--r--r-- 1 1.6K Sep 20  2016 TRANS.TBL
-rw-r--r-- 1 5.7M Jul 18  2016 vmlinuz
-rw-r--r-- 1  586 Sep 20  2016 xen.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 2.1M Jul 26  2016 xen.efi

The instructions under Boot Device Not Recognized After Installing say:
Copy /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/ to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/.
Rename /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/xen.efi to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi.
Rename /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/xen.cfg to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.cfg.

However, 
1. There is no qubes directory
2. Do they really mean to *overwrite* the BOOTX64.efi file?

I'm guessing these instructions might have been meant for a previous version of 
Qubes.

Anyway, I can go ahead and try it.  I was just curious how it went for you.
Also, I'm slightly concerned about driver support for the various NUC 
capabilities.

No, I've got a kaby lake i3 so nuc7i3bnh...
Using a m.2 I was running into issues on a new install.  Wouldn't start 
boot-up, so I stuck an ssd with qubes in on it and that would boot up half-way. 
 That's when i went to and did the uefi instructions.  
I'm still new, so definitely could be a driver issue.  And on that note, if 
you've got a similar bios and ever figure out what the best options for the 
graphics aperature options are, it would save me a headache.

Sorry, I didn't make it clear that I moved an SSD from a working NUC to the 
NUC6i7KYK and it started bootup but it seemed to fail on loading x11/gui.  So 
it seems like a gfx driver issue.

Thanks babel.  Is your NUC a Skull Canyon NUC?  I have it running on regular 
NUC, but seeing different problems on Skull Canyon.

And I realized you can just do the second step while you're doing the first 
one..
Hey, it's a learning process.
