[qubes-users] HCL - Dell 7567

The first thing I did while win10 was still on the machine was update the BIOS
from 1.00.3 to the current 1.00.7. Then I upgraded the Wifi card from Intel
3165 to 8265 (more about his later).

In order to get the system to boot to my ISO USB I had to disable Secure Boot.
This might be why my HCL Report says I don't have a TPM when this unit should
have TPM 2.0; I will re-enable and install AEM after I fix a few other issues.

When trying to install QubesOS the 'Media Scan' (I think it was called) failed
and I had to install without scanning. Besides that, I had no other issues with
the install. -side note; I did check the hash on the ISO, and the image was as
it should, I think this was just from my old USB stick.

After install I learned I had to manually identify and connect to my wifi.
Still nothing. 20 minutes on google later, I hook up a cat6 and start updating
my kernel to 4.8.12. This fixed my issue and I was then able use the Intel 8265
for wifi.

Updated all my Templates and dom0. Added nano to Deb8 and Fed23 because nano is
my favorite. Now the fun begins.

I use KeePass and while I was happy to see that the Linux KeePassX 2 was
already in the Vault VM I needed to install mono because of an OTP plugin I
use. Added Mono (and Wine) to Fed23. KeePass must be launched via command line
but I'm not complaining. I also had to set up keyboard executions from sys-usb
so my OTP key can be used in KeePass. This is set to always ask because I don't
want to be forwarding just any keyboard into my dom0.

What I still would like to do;

My laptop has both the Intel onboard as well as a 1050Ti. I would love to one
day get that 1050Ti working via IOMMU to either a windows or linux gaming VM.
if that ever becomes possible.

I want to turn back on my TPM and get AEM setup but I want to make sure I'm
happy with the setup before I do that.

I need to fix an issue with the wifi where after suspending the drivers need to
be reset I know that <https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/wireless-troubleshooting/>
has a "Automatically reloading drivers on suspend/resume" fix, but his does not
work for me. I have added iwlmvm, iwlwifi, cfg80211, and mac80211 to my
suspend-module-blacklist. If anyone knows how to help me with this, I would be
very grateful.

Thank you to all the contributors for making Qubes possible. I hope my HCL
Report is of some use. If a Dev would like my HCL Support File I will gladly
give it over a private channel.
