Since the installer is largely derived from Fedora, has anyone tested whether this problem also exists on baremetal Fedora for the affected hardware? (Perhaps this has been addressed in another thread?) If it's actually an upstream (Fedora) problem, it should be reported to them. > The Qubes installation guide is next to useless, as the only line > in the "guide" is...

So, while it might be true that the guide is "useless" for people who are forced to fall back on the text installer (insofar as it doesn't address that installer), it would be inaccurate to call it useless overall. > Also, it does not look like there is much active development with > Qubes, as this thread is over a year old and still no solution. > It does not logically follow from the fact that this particular issue has not been resolved that there has not been much active development with Qubes. Anyone who takes a glance at GitHub can see that the developers have actively been working on Qubes this entire time. Even those who only pay attention to new releases can see that there have been two releases since this thread was started. I understand that it can be frustrating to have a problem for a long period of time without finding a solution, but to say something that one knows is untrue as a way of venting that frustration is rather transparent. - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJYUpVkAAoJENtN07w5UDAw78YQAM8v0Ve8bu/H+ZrazcPZX6O/ g1tUL10Y37/sQlBn3FQOnTb+U7tu/vzqoMMrtyoAvExZg6f+f+AjSrqHFVBJba5R Osa6KmHPboAOKiaLfgs18sAs94zPYGJ6Wvl2LtXpWG5yCefeiKLTIs/MDZvBz/kA eSYf+8Nagm14Z/cvLF5uzPscB7IIP8mo1qDG0lSObcY2NzPNYTT1/O1vTNXxn2n9 ZRhnvIEzbqy6/i/gO6J1vKpQ2UVga//Zw/rW9vXJHYnJZzGa+49LROBX4Ydy3xI8 dZXhdGc5R3G/Tq0JEQCrWbY81NaeleZW11zCpa5kHz3CVifoefPmskj9CKyrMiXT jTJIIMnZO7jEKzvZYdfWbmz5cS3mJGdU9q428+asScwU8cfCAYlyW0TL5czjlGY/ G+yyqXtmE/aeAfDabAEoA5bwdP6iLoaf3NlpjzNVBoIsfmuLQ+LEJvONpQBHEpWJ UbC8SzD2Eevc0H3Zb8sX4Ir/HEQI1o7KJB8rHVJlk6Hx0winbYTc1Z7d4bsgYn7J jZGjG4om54ENrp7fI4nrrfhgcSkid5Vj2gEzUfnXt6+a8FN+QcLE7gy42I6dSUFZ VhAzt98Rak3O600uoHZWY8hn/+myEpXFm47MeCvMFsefyfwYZAJr4XoMikc/n2za OrKotnJboQv/Ts/aZzvK =1Pwa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
