It does give you the option.
It says it requires a restart to complete, then it does what it has to, then 
restarts. After that, before login to windows, it starts the installation and 
does the install including option selection.

Thus, you don't uninstall then install, you just install.

Figured out the issue. I had the xen pv disk drivers installed before and when 
I tried to update them, windows just hung (but no BSOD). What would be the best 
method to install the disk drivers now? Before, I uninstalled the whole windows 
tools and reinstalled it since the installer doesn't give you the option to go 
the component selection menu if it's already installed

Essentially, it's just boot to install windows tools,  or attach the ISO.
Run the executable.
Follow the prompts.
Make sure you are NOT running in Seamless Mode when you start though.
Run in non-seamless, and turn on debugging.

Is there a set method to updating the windows tools in the vm itself (after

[qubes-users] ssd migration block/unit size, tune and benchmark

2016-10-24 Thread Eva Star 

Migrated to the new SSD from old:

1) How to check "ssd partition alignment" on Qubes as we do on Windows? 
If need to correct it, how to do that?


2) The same for block/unit size. Need I change it on the new SSD? How to 
check yes or no? How to do that if need?


3) How to check new SSD performance? Need to do this on dom0? I'm about 
some tests like we have on Windows (read/write, random read/write, 
different block sizes)


4) SECURITY ISSUE: Is it secure to keep the old *clone* of the drive on 
old SSD with the same master table of cryptsetup and the same password?


Thanks

Not easily. You'll need to modify VM libvirt configuration and start the
VM with "qvm-start --custom-config=..." every time.

I'd also be very interested in this. I have created a Vivid template and 
upgraded that to Wily successfully (Wily is already out of support, however), 
but had no luck with upgrading from Wily to Xenial. The upgrades does work and 
the VM boots successfully, but the Xorg install is broken so the Qubes GUI 
integration does not work - it complains about the ABI major version not 
matching.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

yes, but it is not officially supported cause one of the other o/s can modify 
the qubes boot partition, or has better chance to infect bios or firmwares.  It 
also takes more tweaking to add other os entries to the qubes grub, because I 
believe it has no os-prober.

I found it easier to add my qubes entry to the trisquel grub instead,  in the  
/etc/grub.d/40_custom file.  In there you paste the XEN section copied from the 
qubes boot partition /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file.   then update-grub.  Probably 
should repeat the step when qubes updates its kernel or initramfs.  

An easy way to reinstall the trisquel grub after installing qubes is here

sounds interesting if you can manufacture it.   Some experts say it is possible 
to infect bios and these firmwares remotely as well,  not just physically.  As 
some experts claimed with hacking teams bios malware that infected insyde uefi 
bios in oem systems.

I would also suggest if very worried about this type of attack to use something 
like AEM to detect if something did indeed change, hopefully. I would like see 
qubes get secure boot eventually also that can be used alongside aem for even 
better measurement.

[qubes-users] GUI Issues: Active window on top, scroolbar without scrooling buttons

2016-10-24 Thread Robert Mittendorf 

Hello fellow Qubes users,

today I have a few questions about the GUI handling in Qubes. I use 
Qubes 3.2 with Xfce desktop dom0.


1) If a window that already exists is set to active, it is not shown on 
top. Example: I open up a programm that is alrady running and that 
starts only a single instance (per Qube/VM) - is there a fix?


2) The scroolingbar of Thunderbird is a little weird. There are no 
scrooling buttons (up/down) and when I click somewhere in the range of 
the scroolbar the windows content will directly jump to that very 
position, instead of just moving one screen towards that direction.

I created the
~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css as follows:

.scrollbar {
  -GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: true;
  -GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: true;
  }

Now the terminal has scroolbar buttons, but Thunderbird still doesnt. 
Even if I use a new thunderbird profile..


I have tried solving the second issue for about 3 hours now.

You can keep /boot on external device (AEM). Simply - after AEM
installation, wipe /boot from internal hard drive.

Re: [qubes-users] Future plans for KDE on Qubes?

I'm also chosed to use the new version of the "broken" KDE instead of
switching to Xfce.

The problem is that the old KDE 4 was mature enough to just leave it as
it was packed by the Fedora 18, 20.
But KDE 5 is heavily developed so not even bugfixes gonne be released to
F23 - we currently using in dom0

So KDE 5 support would means to me:
- keep an up to date Fedora release in dom0
- and/or backport KDE 5 packages to the actual dom0 release - whatever
it is based on.

Need to give the option to allow choosing of the label, because having spaces 
in a label is not good, nor having a label that long. Maybe it's just the fact 
I'm a programmer and a developer that I think this way.

When I had the tools installed, it loaded into Seamless mode, and it proceeded 
to tell me that QREXEC was not installed. And also that it needed the GUI tools 
to me installed to use seamless mode.

Not sure if this is a bug, or you designed it to restart twice at this point by 
making us click the stop button?

check the size with "du -h" ?

Depending on how you made the image depends on how you get the result, and DD 
will write the zeros out too, and not be expanding. (as far as I found out)

There are many p2v options out there. But the easiest way would be to plug in 
your HDD to the system, and then use parted (or gparted) to copy the partitions 
to the img file.
