How? I have ubuntu installed on a Samsung 850 SSD, externally mounted and connected via USB, but I cannot get any of the ubuntu 16.04 installers (server or desktop) to see the Samsung T3. Get to the partition step and it comes back with no disks found. Can you share the steps to get ubuntu on the T3?

Update: I have invented a temporary workaround. Requirements: Another usb or harddrive of 32gb (qubes system requirement) Qubes installer or another *nix system 1. Install normally onto a USB or harddrive 2. Use the qubes installer (ctrl+alt+f2) or another *nix system to dd the installed OS to the Samsung T3 Portable SSD Use lsblk -f to find the appropriate drive letters. Example: dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdd bs=1M /dev/sdc being the installed OS, /dev/sdd being the portable SSD. I haven't tested the copy extensively, but it's able to boot and run VMs normally. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Hi, I am also having problems installing Qubes R3.1 to the Samsung T3 External SSD 500GB. Using a pgp and hash verified iso that passes the media verification test. Running on a Intel Core i5-4570 @ 3.20GHz. The install fails on the "creating swap" step with an "unknown error". devices.py line 788 is at the top of the error. Also, manual partitioning doesn't work. Trying to create the "/" or "/boot" parition results in the error "cannot create aligned partition" or something. Clicking the "automatically create partitions" link in the partition page gives an error along the lines of "the root / partition does not exist" and "the boot partition does not exist". I have tried switching the external SSD from a 3.0 port to a 2.0 port to avail. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
