haha nice, I have to check that applet out.  Ya man sometimes when my old 
dinosaur of a computer start lagging out i'm like wtf is going on.  I look in 
qubes manager and everything adding to like 20% use from a couple vms.  I look 
at kde applet and its showing like 90% total cpu use and I think ok, it wasn't 
just me in head,  something is going on and try to investigate.Would love 
i/o activity in qubes manager as well.   

  I still run etherape on screen in sys-net.  So much better then feeling like 
its making me vulnerable on bare metal os,  who cares if etherape gets hacked 
in sys net, plus I remove that vm often anyways lol.  On this machine it prolly 
don't matter but good practice anyways imo.

Ya debian still uses kde4. There is probably nothing kde5 can do better 
security or functionality wise.

Some people still have the shutdown issue.  I had it on 3.0 and i believe on 
3.1 also on two machines.  I know Eva on the mailing list have the issue it 
depends on whats running.  But I haven't noticed it lately.

Firefox only use to freeze full screen for me in 3.1 with fedora templates.  
But worked in debian and whonix.  Ever since debian dropped the firefox weasel  
to firefox esr for some reason now on my machine it has same issue fedora 
always had in Qubes.

I have disliked fedora since fedora 20,  Fedora 19 was a good one. But ever 
since then more and more unstable. And I think it was fedora 22 that introduced 
dnf which I dont' like and a whole lot of other problems.   But I agree i have 
no problem with the older DE versions.  I don't need the new fancy desktop 
themes or for my old hardware to become unsupported.   And for new hardware 
like skylake stuff I'm sure they could just upgrade kernels and keep lts or 
older ones available.

Right now everyone is demanding gpu passthrough lol.

The qubes manager isn't that innacurate.

I know that XFCE has it. Maybe try that instead?

so the restore worked ok.  only thing was I apparently forgot to back up the vm 
i used with ssh keys lol,  and a cloned template i used for printing.  ugh.  
just gonna back up all vms next time.  but all my other vms restored no problem 
back to 3.1.   Gonna stay with that until 3.2 is final and stick with kde for 
now.

Yes, remove /var/run/qubes/qubes-clipboard.bin.xevent

The file contains X event timestamp of last copy/paste operation (to
avoid some race conditions). But this counter overflows after some time
(a month or so) and our code do not handle this case.

Hi,

Since long time ago I was thinking that would be nice to have

I thought it should require some hacking on xfce/kde but today I
started to think on it and discovered:

www.linuxliteos.com/forums/tutorials/how-to-make-a-multi-level-launcher/

It's really nice and works like a charm!



Thanks for the link! It's also a good replacement for "recent apps" 
which got lost in the transition from KDE to XFCE.

the list of problems for me keep growing also.  I guess because I'm such a fan 
and want Qubes to be more mainstream its hard to admit.   And even though Qubes 
is easy to use,  you really have to walk on eggshells to not break things or 
keep them functioning properly.  So I guess in that sense its not as user 
friendly as it could be.  

For example i have to remember to shutdown all appvms or else it doesn't even 
shutdown properly and i have to hard power off.  Or having to remember to 
unmount and detach block devices to avoid having to restart pc cause of error 
if wanting to re-attach them.  (which happens sometimes anyways with multiple 
devices attached) Or loading or shutting down vms too fast which cause errors.  
 

Then there are bugs that annoy me like firefox not being able to go fullscreen 
without freezing in Qubes. Or wake and suspend issues i'm not starting to have. 
  And this is not even counting the random bugs that causes vms not to shutdown 
or templates not to update or qubes manager to crash.

So basically I'm very wrong to doubt your issues, because I have alot of 
problems myself when I'm not even doing anything as advanced as you.  It seems 
Qubes is not easy to develop for and I imagine its a hell of alot of work for 
one guy.  And its not your typical project that is basically just a custom 
debian.   Its a whole nother thing altogether and I just hope it succeeds 
because I really do believe the whole idea and philosophy of Qubes is the 
future.

doesn't show a total. and was just nice to have that applet on the panel of kde.

By the way,m the system isn't designed to be up for that amount of time, or so 
I've been told recently.
Mine normally breaks after a week. Then I have to reboot.
It typicaly says it's a permisison issue with the file, but ssetting the 
permisisons doesn't fix it, no matter what you do it can't seem to access the 
files.. so only a reboot works.

Qubes, they say, is designed for "normal users" not people like us who don't 
turn off our computers.

[qubes-users] [bug] Inter-VM Copy/Paste Broken After Long Uptime

2016-07-19 Thread Andrew
Hello,

I have one particular Qubes instance with an uptime >60 days.  Aside
from needing to occasionally restart Qubes Manager to deal with the
memory leak problem, this works fine.

However, recently, I have become unable to copy and paste between VMs.
Pressing the key combination appears to do nothing.  FWIW,
/var/run/qubes/qubes-clipboard.bin and
/var/run/qubes/qubes-clipboard.bin.source are both 0-sized files
(presumably) dated to back when inter-VM copy/paste stopped working.

Any suggestions on how to debug?

Andrew

I always thought it did more than that. The 3.1 installer has the same issue 
though. However, if I tell it to do NOTHING, and actually check that box and 
click next, it still tries to set up the firewall.

Let the fingers point all they want, if they don't earn my respect then such as

There are people on here that I respect a great deal, And there are those, like 
Jeremy, that I want nothing to do with ever and I hate. I don't respect him in

As for the OP, I've got no idea now. I don't know how their query structure is

How do I find 200 bugs? I read the screen. I see what it says. I don't go 
looking for them, they just appear there. Just like the bugs in the Qubes 
manager that have been there since version 2.0 of Qubes, maybe even earlier, 
and they have not even been fixed, and yet I see them every say on my screen, 
often shows 100 times or more in one day... I don't see how a bug like that 
could be missed.

Yes, there does appear to be something different in the networking. Not to 
mention the KDE crashes in 3.2 whenever you change any settings in the Qubes 
Manager. What they changed I have no idea. but in 3.1 I can't get more than 100 
Mbps from any Unix or Windows guest through a NetVM, but in 3.2, it all works 
find from Unix based guests, but Windows is still only 100 Mbps.

[qubes-users] How to make a Multi "domain" Launcher

2016-07-19 Thread donoban
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

Hi,

Since long time ago I was thinking that would be nice to have
multi-options icons/launcher instead of having a lot of same icons for
different domains.

I thought it should require some hacking on xfce/kde but today I
started to think on it and discovered:

www.linuxliteos.com/forums/tutorials/how-to-make-a-multi-level-launcher/

It's really nice and works like a charm!

Regards.
