I found it very difficult to get Qubes installed and useable. These are some notes I made at the time and may need some adjustment for other scenarios.
INSTALLATION 4.04rc2: Use 8GB USB stick (left OR right side works). Bigger sizes failed for me. disable Secure Boot enable ACHI edit sda2 EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.cfg comment out under 'qubes-verbose' section # noexitboot=1 # mapbs=1 text install with 'inst.text' placed before i915 in the following line: kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R4.0-x86_64 i915.alpha_support=1 make sure networking is attached to bring up GUI I had to combine sys-net and sys-usb in the install options because I was using a docking station for ethernet. Disable power mgmt except blank screen in Screensaver Touchpad settings: enable tap and adjust speed sudo qubes-dom0-update kernel-latest-qubes-vm sudo qubes-dom0-update kernel-latest (remove old kernel in qubes EFI) sudo qubes-dom0-update --action=[reinstall|remove|list] kernel-latest[-qubes-vm] sudo dnf remove qubes-template-fedora-32 A lot of video issues causing crashes. Found the following fixed it enough so far to make it useable: [https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting/intel-igfx-troubleshooting.m](https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting/intel-igfx-troubleshooting.md) change: i915.alpha_support=1 -> i915.force_probe=* The following are some miscellaneous notes to get the DPI and GTK working right. I never tuned this properly, so you will have to play around. Please post configurations if you ever get this correct.
