I recently transitioned to the new 4.0....thank you Qubes Developers and Community for the effort and help. I really appreciate the better security.
I managed to get 4.0 installed however I am having some challenges and concerns: 1) I am getting numerous ACPI erros when I boot? 4.0 seems to boot, I can login and function but I am concerned. Is this a concern? I didn't get these errors when booting 3.2. 2) I used to be able to download a .iso file, keep it in a VM and boot it from another VM. 3.2 even had a "Boot from .iso" function. I managed to get this working with 4.0 but it is extremely slow and sometimes doesn't work. Was the boot from .iso functionality removed? 3) I am struggling with customizing the DVMs. Specifically I can't delete a DVM. I tried the steps on this link: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/dispvm-customization/ but it just didn't delete. Are there other instructions available? Maybe some one is willing to post there steps/commands? 4) I am unsure how to add a wireless printer into a DVM? I either can't install the driver i.e. Do I install software into e.g. Print-dvm(based on Debian-9-Gnome), Debian-9-Gnome Template, other? 5) Could be related to 4) above but I have been unable to get my printer to even provide an error(possible networking issue). In 3.2 I would add the printer to the Debian-9-Gnome template and then generate a new "DVM".... 6) When I attempt to update Dom0 after install I get the pop-up from Dom0 that something is happening, I get the "green update" window(similar to 3.2) but then it just stops...no message about "No updates needed" or any response. Is my Dom0 up-to-date? 7) It is my understanding that 4.0 introduces a remote admin function....how do I confirm this is OFF and can never be turned on? Please understand this is by no means critism...I truly do appreciate the new version and sense it is more secure with the PVH default and with the new code that is under the hood. Some things that worked well: * VPN by Tasket works great. * Love the clean and updated Debian/Fedora templates * Ability to swap templates and a VM and get the new programs refreshed * The potential of multiple DVMs and additional drop downs beyond just Firefox Any help with my questions above would be greatly appreciated and I would be happy to summarize the instructions for users having similar challenges now or going forward.
