Dear community,
I have been a happy user of Qubes 3.2 for a year or so now, was eagerly
waiting for R4.0 and now switched to it. And for the moment it seems
like it's a disaster... I am not sure if this is the right place to post
my several issues but here there are :
- slow execution of everything. Startup is slower, most of the actions
(starting a VM, working in several spaces). I found out (in dmesg of
dom0) I had a problem with a pci express component reporting regularly
with AER (advanced error reporting - never seen in R3.2), so after a
couple of searches, I turned it off by adding "pcie_aspm = off" in grub.
It helps with speed but the system is still slower than before and I
have no clue why at the moment. (Watching an online video becomes a real
pain...)
- no volume control is permitted on whonix-ws-based VMs (including DVMs)
using dom0's audio mixer. Is this expected ? I read nothing about it...
- import of win7 previously saved and perfectly working hvm (on R3.2)
causes windows not to work : booting seems ok (from time to time...) but
once on the windows desktop, it crashes (the window disappears without
leaving any message, which I had when painfully installing win7
previously but thought it was gone).
- the Qubes Manager is slow and has problems with refreshing (I've read
it appears also for some other users). I really enjoyed working with it
because it is really making my life easier but now I avoid all possible
actions with it...
I am not sure my configuration is problematic (it seems intel core
i5-6200 and 16 GB memory have all the expected hardware features). I can
give more details if needed. I think the major problem is the speed,
then other things may be lived with. Maybe going to PVH was too much ?
So this is my user's experience so far and I'm thinking about switching
back to 3.2 since these problems don't seem documented. But if anyone
can help and if this can help others, let's try to improve things
(hopefully I'm the only one with such experience which is sad for me but
doesn't harm Qubes reputation ;) ).
Regards,
Philippe
