I just updated my OS to 4.1rc3....pretty slick! I picked up a X1 Carbon (5thG) and loaded it on...the install went pretty good. Verifying the ISO is still a pain....I would suggest Qubes sell a bootable thumb drive that has been verified, maybe package it in a tamper resistant package for security. I would pay for that...might be a good way to raise funds.
Some early observations are: - I have always used Debian for my Printing VM...struggled setting Debian up for printing but setting up Fedora was a breeze. Although I don't get some of the print notifications...not a big deal at all. - Love the disposable USB and firewall. I did have a few questions I was hoping to get help with: 1) I ran these tests I know: qubes-hcl-report AppVM (Name of a "AppVM" I was running) Results you want: HVM: Active I/O MMU: Active HAP/SLAT: Yes TPM: Device not found <- Is this Anti-Evil-Made I am missing? Remapping: Yes 2)I also ran this test: sudo xl dmesg|grep VT-d (Thats a small “L” and a “|” Shift+\) Results you want: XEN Intel VT-d iommu 0 supported page sizes: 4kB XEN Intel VT-d iommu 1 supported page sizes: 4kB XEN Intel VT-d Snoop Control not enabled XEN Intel VT-d Dom0 DMA Passthrough not enabled XEN Intel VT-d Queued Invalidation enabled XEN Intel VT-d Interrupt Remapping enabled Post Interupt not enabled <- This is something new?? Is this OK? XEN Intel VT-d Shared EPT tables not enabled - This is enabled 3)I was not able to install "Anti-Evil-Maid" it seemed to time out? sudo qubes-dom0-update anti-evil-maid 4) With 4.1rc3 I noticed some cool GUI options in "Global Settings" for picking how to update dom0....for 4.1rc3 which one do I use? Stable(default)? Testing updates? Unstable updates? or Testing updates(security only)? Thanks for any help or thoughts...
