Re: [qubes-users] Kernel 4.14.103-1 dmenu is not working

Ty Sven. Yes, I installed it with "sudo qubes-dom0-update i3 i3-settings-qubes" 
. I uninstalled i3 and reinstalled it "dnf remove i3 dmenu i3-settings-qubes" 
to remove i3. But the problem with dmenu persists. More importantly I still 
can't figure out why applications/screen hang when I am on I3. Xfce works 
normal but i am a windows manager all the way. I  am working on building rofi 
to use  Intead of dmenu but I am stuck on finding  xcb-util-xrm-devel" package

Since 6.2 is only available in "experimental" Debian, I'm
assuming you used the deb packages from libreoffice.
These instal the binaries under /opt with links under /usr/local/bin

This works in the template, but not in appVMs because /usr/local is
mounted from /rw/usrlocal in Template Based qubes.

In the appVM create the links yourself in /usr/local/bin - at a minimum:
sudo ln -s /opt/libreoffice6.2/program/soffice libreoffice6.2

That will enable the "libreoffice 6.2" menu item for the launcher.

If you want other menu items then you'll have to create relevant links
yourself.

Not quite as simple as that.
sys-usb is created with label red, mem 300, and virt-mode hvm.
Also autostart is True, and pci_strictreset is false.


You also need to disable memory balancing. However, only that and HVM 
mode are required in the VM config to support a sys-usb, and both are 
mentioned in the configuration when you add a PCI device. 
Pci_strictreset varies by USB controller, although the majority do need it.

It was a known bug in Debian templates, and the package was built in

sys-usb is created with label red, mem 300, and virt-mode hvm.
Also autostart is True, and pci_strictreset is false.

Ray - if you look in /srv/formulas.base/virtual-machines-formula/qvm you
will find the salt file sys-usb.sls. That is what is run when you
execute the qubesctl command, and you'll see there the reference to
sys-net.

Interesting, on mine the button on the toolbar works, but not the menu

in the command line. Next, search qubes-issues on Github to see if 
anyone's submitted the bug yet. If not, create an new issue describing

Hi,

I would really like to test and learn to use Qubes OS, but can't install it. I 
have followed the installation troubleshooting guide and didn't find any advice 
there on my current problem.

First I couldn't get past the EFI booting stage but adding options from the 
troubleshooting guide helped me to get past it. Now the kernel boots but after 
a while it just stops and waits and nothing happens. The kernel is still alive 
since it spews out messages if I plug in and usb device and ctrl+alt+del works.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can give me

Which options did you add? Nvidia cards often cause problems. Can you 
easily switch to Intel or AMD video? If not, try also adding 
nouveau.modeset=0 to the kernel (not Xen) options.

Roll your template back to the earlier version

If you aren't using a USB keyboard, creating your own sys-usb is simple. 
Create an AppVM, disable networking, and assign your USB controllers to 
it. If you are using a USB keyboard, refer to that same document. It can 
be tricky.

The default Xen video driver does not support DirectX/hardware

Not really any source that describes a one to one mapping. You can use 
"dnf search" to search for packages or your favorite web search. 
Alternatively, sometimes you can try to build things and it will fail

It lacks anti-spam/anti-virus part (which is a cool idea, I'll implement this) 
but otherwise is close to what you describe.

You mean "sudo qubes-dom0-update i3 i3-settings-qubes" ? That's all one
needs to do.

[qubes-users] Kernel 4.14.103-1 dmenu is not working

[eduzwawi]

Hey guys I migrated from arch to qubes. But I am having some difficulties with 
I3 windows manager I am fairly new to qubes. I like how I can still use my 
favorite arch distro. and benefit from qubes' secured architecture. 

I followed the instructions to install i3 windows manager but the system became 
incredibly laggy slow after installing it. For example, I am in a browser and 
scrolling down and the screen will freeze/lag and then stop scrolling.  I gotta 
click anywhere on screen for the screen to keep scrolling down or up .. It will 
also freeze when I am inside a terminal typing a command and I have to click 
anywhere inside the terminal for the command to completely print.

And dmenu doesn't work. $mod+d does nothing. Typing "i3-dmenu-desktop" gives an 
error message "invalid input: "" doesn't match any application. Your command: 
exec --no startup-id ""
Error: expected one of these tokens: '--no-startup-id',

My machine is lenovo e570, i7 skylake, gtx950, 16G ddr4, nvme

On xfce everything seems to work fine.. Anyone else experiencing the same 
things with i3

[qubes-users] [Qubes 4.0/Debian 9] LibreOffice 6.2.3 doesn't start

[schwoereraxel]

Hello everyone !

I uninstalled an old version of LibreOffice (I did sudo apt-get remove --purge 
libreoffice*) to put the latest version (6.2.3) on the Debian 9 template but it 
is impossible for me to run LibreOffice, nothing is happening. I tried to 
install another version, but it doesn't work.

I use Qubes 4.0 on a SanDisk Extreme Pro 256gb USB 3.1 key 
Any solutions?

Thank you in advance
Axel

 There might be clues in the firewall VM's logs. You can see them
 with Qubes Manager (right-click on mirage-firewall and choose Logs
 -> guest-mirage-firewall.log). Open the logs just after booting
 Windows and seeing that networking doesn't work and look at the end.

 You can also do "sudo xl console mirage-firewall" in dom0 to follow
 the logs and then boot Windows and watch for new entries.

Hi All,

Thanks to Thomas efforts and patience, now Mirage for Qubes can be used
by Windows 10 Pro (HVM) users as a lightweight alternative to sys-firewall.

For those interested, please see on GitHub:
https://github.com/mirage/qubes-mirage-firewall/issues/56

[qubes-users] Qubes & guix to prevent image bloat/multiplication?

[Johannes Graumann]

I became aware of guix through an announcement that it is now 1.0 (
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/blog/2019/gnu-guix-1.0.0-released/)
as it purportedly allows environment install/maintenance in user space,
I was wonderung whether anyone has used it on qubes to install appVM
specific software only there without having to customize/inflate the
underlying images with software. Experiences? Thoughts?

Sincerely, Joh

[qubes-users] Install of R4.0.1 stops before anaconda

[Larhama]

Hi,

I would really like to test and learn to use Qubes OS, but can't install it. I 
have followed the installation troubleshooting guide and didn't find any advice 
there on my current problem.

First I couldn't get past the EFI booting stage but adding options from the 
troubleshooting guide helped me to get past it. Now the kernel boots but after 
a while it just stops and waits and nothing happens. The kernel is still alive 
since it spews out messages if I plug in and usb device and ctrl+alt+del works.

Don't know what to try next...

My system is as follows:

Machine:
  Type: Desktop Mobo: Micro-Star model: B450 GAMING PLUS (MS-7B86) v: 1.0

Hi,
(more or less) same problem here. On my laptop shutdown-idle only works with 
Fedora-based VMs. It has never worked with Debian/Whonix-based VMs.

If somebody could help that would be great.
