IIRC there's no gui setting in XFCE for setting a compose key. I don't use such key myself but I guess you can edit dom0's /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf and add XkbOptions there (eg.

Indeed, tweaking X conf files will require a reboot in Qubes OS. With a standard distribution you'd log off, kill/restart the X server, and log in again, but if you do so in Qubes OS your VM apps won't be displayed anymore (not sure if it's a bug or a feature - I never log off anyway so it doesn't bother me). > What a surprise -- my mouse reverted to being left-handed!

Re: [qubes-users] More information needed about Qubes security
Hello, id suggest to configure coreboot so you can update it internally with the latest microcode-updates. Just make sure its correctly configured to only accept updates signed by yourself. Coreboot can/ will improve your security by a lot even with IME untouched for a number of reasons, personally, i would consider an proprietary Bios or central Bios blobs a much higher risk then Intel Me untouched. I really dont want to defend the Intel ME or AMD PSP (id never use a computer with newer ME versions), but in comparison, this whole Me thing is a bit blown out of proportion. There are bigger issues with recent hardware. Also, while your right about the Intel ME, the me version on the x230 can be reduced to the minimal amount of blobs, and more important, contrary to newer versions shuts down/ is only active in the very first states of the boot process, thus providing a significant security benefit. I suggest to also check out Raptor Engineering, its completely free and real open source hardware, altough unfortunately its not possible to use with qubes (yet?). Its really awesome hardware, and one could build even a poor mans Qubes os with OpenBSD. cheers On 1/14/19 12:17 PM, Alexandre Belgrand wrote: > Hello, > > I am still brooding over before installing Qubes. > > My first thinking is that since Intel ME backdoors provide full access > to authorities, there is no way we can stop government agencies.

[qubes-users] Installation problem -- cannot install boot loader
Folk, I am trying to install Qubes 4.0.1 onto a HP laptop (model 151-da000). It has a hybrid disk system, 250G SSD and 1 TB SATA. I had installed KDE neon on the box, overwriting the native Windows installation, using about 100G of the SSD drive. I am planning on making this a dual boot machine, with Qubes on the other 150 G of the SSD. So... I try to install 4.0.1 on this box. The first thing I noted was that the default for the root partition is "LVM thin provisioning." WHen I accepted that, I got the error that this was not possible and to make a different choice. I then chose just LVM, which it accepted. It then copied all the appropriate files and then gave me the error that the boot loader could not be installed, but did I want to copy the rest of the files anyway. I chose yes. When I rebooted the machine, I found that I could boot neither into KDE neon nor Qubes. So... I reinstalled KDE neon onto its partition. When I rebooted, Qubes came up in the Grub menu! I chose Qubes, and the initialization screen came up, but when I chose the default options, it hung with the error that it could not find the kernel file. KDE neon came up fine. So... I tried reinstalling Qubes again, only this time chose "native partition" instead of "LVM". Again, it said that it could not install the boot loader. I aborted it at that point because I had some work to do and could not take the time to reinstall KDE neon again. Any pointers?

Are you sure it works for fedora ? First things first :-) When trying out keyboard changes, I wanted them to apply globally (they work just fine when I use setxkbmap..., thanks) and so made a change in dom0. Since the test change did not seem to work, I thought I would try a complete reboot (imagining that when dom0 starts up, it reads its configuration files and then doesn't reread them after that). What a surprise -- my mouse reverted to being left-handed! I have no idea why (other than the reboot) or why it reverted to right-handed (other than the sys-usb VM being set up). Any way, the problem has "gone away". Now for the keyboard changes. As I indicated, I wanted to turn off the Caps Lock key and set a "compose" key. I launched a dom0 terminal and sudo'ed to root. Then I edited the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf" and added the XkbOptions line. It now reads: Section "InputClass" Identifier "system-keyboard" MatchIsKeyboard "on" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "XkbOptions" "caps:none" EndSection After rebooting, the Caps Lock key is now off in all Qubes :-) However, I am not sure of the syntax of this file and do not want to make an error in the file in case it makes my keyboard inactive. Can I change that last Option line to: Option "XkbOptions" "caps:none compose:menu" or do need to use a comma to separate the two options (could not find this information in the Wikipedia article) OR, possibly use: Option "XkbOptions" "caps:none" Option "XkbOptions" "compose:menu" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

It took me a bit of time too to figure those things when I switched to Qubes OS since VMs don't run a full fledged VM with easily found GUI settings apps. You then have to find out how things run "under the hood". As a side note you can also prevent system-wide autostart apps from starting by putting the following two lines .desktop file in $HOME/.config/autostart/ (the file has to be named exactly like the one that is defined in /etc/xdg/autostart/ and that you want to override): [Desktop Entry] Hidden=true (That's what the GUIs do when you deselect applications in startup/autostart.) > By the way, how do I "Mark as complete"?

[qubes-users] Mirage-Firewall - Trusted in Dom0?
I've been happily using Qubes for several years and noticed that several prominent members of the Qubes Team have in the past suggested installing Mirage-Firewall as an alternative to Sys-Firewall. However, I cannot find any reference to MF in the Qubes Docs. I'd like to install Mirage-Firewall, but I have a nagging doubt about whether the code can be trusted. Particularly as it has to been installed in Dom0 What do you guys recommend? Can the MF developer be trusted? -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

[qubes-users] Re: VMApp files from template
Thanks, uman I followed alternative instructions and the menu option is provided by placing a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications. This works and the command is attempted. But it cannot find the script which is in the VMApp folders, so there is a file not found error. I presume the command is executing in dom0. How can I make it look for the script file in the VMApp space? many thanks, Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

If you are using the default of Xfce, then look at: https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu In general, to run a program in a qube, you use something like this: qvm-run -q --service -- qubes.StartApp+ or: qvm-run -q The former form expects a desktop file, the latter uses a program name. You can test these from a command line in dom0 to make sure that you have the right format, and then create an appropriate menu item using the command.
