Also be sure to enable VT-X and VT-D if possible. As far as I know, Qubes 3,2 will install without, but it won't work properly without these technologies. They are often not enabled by default in the BIOS/UEFI. As my memory serves, i7 7th generation should have VT-X and VT-D, so just need to be sure its enabled. Also try avoid booting with external graphic cards, especially if it's nvidia card. Qubes has no nvidia proprietary drivers, so it often won't work without installing those manually yourself, which is often tricky business. Qubes however runs quite smoothly on intel integrated graphics, if I'm not mistaken, your i7 7th generation processor should have internal graphics. Make sure VT-D (which includes VT-X) is enabled. Make sure to use Intel internal integrated graphics for Qubes. There might be other BIOS/UEFI settings depending on your system. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
