Hello, I'm a big fan of Qubes. Keep up the excellent work.
My initial contribution to the cause is this HCL. Qubes is working great on the titular laptop, but there were some challenges to overcome during installation. 1. UEFI. Installing from USB. I found that I had to disable CSM and select boot partition 1 to get the installation media to boot. 2. Touchpad. The touchpad was not working. To install with a USB mouse, I set qubes.InputMouse to pass mouse events to Dom0. Of course, the USB mouse only works when sys-usb is running. 3. Wireless. I had to get the wireless working by using nmcli commands (e.g. nmcli device wifi connect <ssid>). I should add that some of this was when I was trying to install via text only, which requires a little more background info: My initial install attempts were from legacy booting, which failed to launch the graphical interface. I tried to continue with the installation via the text interface, which I never did get working. That's when I went back to step 1 and got it working via UEFI / partition 1 with CSM disabled. 4. Display Resolution. The display was only 800x600. The short version: The display issues were caused by using a kernel that is "too old" (for this hardware). This hardware requires kernel 4.8.12 (to be more precise, all I can say at the moment is that the minimum kernel version for this hardware is > 4.4.55 and <= 4.8.12). Kernel 4.8.12 is only available from the unstable repository, so I had to get Qubes installed in a "degraded" way before I could issue the magic command: > qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-unstable kernel kernel-qubes-vm - Mike Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
