Hi everyone,

Current Condition: Everything works perfectly(kali-rolling,offline
penstesting lab,audio,bluetooth,wifi,updates,whonix,etc...) in legacy mode
with discrete graphics for installation(with rufus) and hybrid graphics
after disabling nouveau :Only problem is the ethernet
Uefi works too but problems with wake and sleep after closing the
lid(Nvidia problem): I also followed
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3411 and
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/qubes-users/TmGDlkluJgM/fn4wc2E5CQAJ
with no success.

For more informations :

First trial:

*SecureBoot : Disabled*
*Graphics:Discrete(Hybrid won't work in uefi)*

*Boot: Uefi only*
*uefi usb enabled*

First of all , I followed every steps regarding the uefi Installation for
newer thinkpads(fedora-live-cd). The installation would begin than I would
be stuck in the "Installation source: Error setting up base repository"
With dd the installation would begin and i will be stucked in the middle
with an  error : transaction couldn't load source or something like that.

Finally with rufus I could install Qubes correctly with two problems :
first of all sys-net will not start unless I remove the Ethernet device
from the settings. My Second problem was the suspend: If I close the lid ,
I have to hard shutdown the laptop and then reboot. This problem is related
to nvidia and nouveau. Sadly, there wasn't any grub installed(grub and
grub2 were empty folders) so I couldn't follow the steps regarding the
nvidia troubleshooting to disable nouveau. I also didn't want to debug and
try to install a grub .

Second Trial: Finally I reinstalled everything with :

*SecureBoot : Disabled*
*Graphics:Discrete*
*Boot: legacy mode*

Same problem with the ethernet.
In legacy mode the grub is installed and preconfigured.
This time I could follow the steps for the nvidia troubleshooting to
disable nouveau:

*In dom0*

   -

   *cd /etc/default/
   sudo nano grub
   *



   -

   *Edit GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, add the following to it at the end:*

   *nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off
   *

   -

   *sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg*

   -

   After that you reboot and you will be stucked in the loading screen
. You have to change the graphics in the BIOS to Hybrid so that he can
use your integrated graphics.


Now when you close the lid and then you open it you have the XscreenSaver
which is what we wanted :) !!!.

I will try now to fix the ethernet and the nvidia drivers . I will keep you
updated .
