Here is a list of stuff that I got into trouble trying out Qubes. I am a long time Linux user (since 1993) - so I know a bit about the Linux environment - but I never liked administration stuff.
This is just a list - I guess I did a lot of silly things, and I don't suggest that the system should make it impossible to do that. But I hope that it might inspire someone to make it a little bit less probably that newbies get lost :) 1. Immediately after installation I wanted to add USB headphones to the personal vm and I went into Devices configuration of that vm and I added all lines with USB to the vm. I don't remember if it froze immediately or maybe after a reboot of the vm - but I've got completely cut off from the top level Qubes system. Fortunately a hard reboot fixed the problem. 2. The suspend button activates a popup that says: "Do you want to suspend to RAM?" This is a bit confusing - I thought that suspension saves the RAM onto the disk, not in the opposite direction. 3. Initially I did not understand how can I change the templates. I thought that to have additional software or to make any special configuration in a template I need to create a new template and I started reading the documentation at https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-builder/ - that was really confusing. There are also additional questions that the docs don't answer, like if the changes in the template will be visible in a vm based on it and if yes - then when? 4. I still don't really understand how the keyboard configuration works. What worked for me to have Polish letters in a vm was to set it up both in the top level environment (System Tools > Settings Manager > Keyboard) and in the vm (setxkbmap pl). Initially I spent a lot of time in trying to do it only in the vm - but it failed in mysterious ways. -- Zbigniew Lukasiak http://brudnopis.blogspot.com/ http://perlalchemy.blogspot.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
