Can you provide more information:

- which Qubes Version?
- Laptop / Mainboard Modell
- Kind of USB VM (the stock USB VM?)
- if you attach USB devices, do they appear in sys-usb?
- (...)
- what kind of USB device are you trying to attach?
- to which AppVM/Operating System are you attaching it to?
- have you followed the docs at https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb/

more information first, answers will come second ;-)

Re: [qubes-users] Lenovo X230 - List of USB-Ports and USB-Controllers (Layout)

Hello Taiidan,

Excellent - an x230!

Yes, I like the X230 a lot and prefer it over my Company Laptop a W540 as
it has perfect size and weight and performance is fine for Qubes after
adding RAM and a SSD.
The only poor thing - as with any Linux OS is battery life compared to
windows.
I bought a new battery (Lenovo 44++ with 94Wh) for 60eur which gives me
~8-10h of battery runtime on windows - under Qubes battery runtime is much
shorter.
But I think this is because power management is much better in a, which is
using proprietary drivers.

Have you installed coreboot on it? Those sandy/ivybridge thinkpads have
open source init and support all of me_cleaner's features

Actually I am currently thinking about doing so. I'm reading the Coreboot
Wiki pages and it seems that it is not necessary to get the bios chip out
of the Mainboard, but you can use a special Tool/clip and a raspberry Pi to
flash the bios. Total costs including cables would be ~70eur for the
hardware.

I would prefer coreboot'ing my X230 with someone who has did this before,
so if someone reading this and is located near Berlin/Germany and happy to
help ... do not hesitate to contact me.

The information I am missing is, if I can use Coreboot and beeing able to
boot Qubes OS 3.2 (and later 4.x) AND (!) also Windows 10 Enterprise, which
I need, as this is the "corporate OS".
As far as I have understand this involves to use something like seabios (?)
and additional Blobs, it seems that Coreboot has lots of different pieces
like a puzzle and I haven't figured out how everything fits together.

A newbie introduction for Qubes users would be great.

* Qubes recommended hardware / beginners Guide *
I think "we" should also have beginner howto's which are based on a few
common hardware Modells to attract more users to Qubes, the Lenovo X230
seems like a perfect machine to do so, as it has a good built quality and
spare parts can be bought for low money including docking stations,
charger, batteries etc.

Hello,

Am 06.08.2017 11:05 nachm. schrieb "pencilfight" :

Many current users may require a completely new hardware. I think you are
right many would benefit from a dedicated thread.

Of course the task for "us" as prerelease testers is to give valuable
feedback what is working and what is not which will save other users
struggling with Qubes.

The most important is:
Will Qubes 4 work with my hardware, if the answer is yes, I have no problem
trying to get Qubes up and running, but if the answer is no, I would of
course save my time and just get the proper hardware.

So I would like to see which hardware can be used with Qubes 4. Currently I
am not sure if this is the case with the Lenovo X200.
Is there a dedicated HCL for Qubes 4?
https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/

I would like to see the Lenovo X230 supported on Qubes 4 if the old X200
will not work.

As such my question again:
Has someone successfully setup Qubes 4rc1 on a X200?
And if so, what was the trick?

Regarding hardware:

If we manage to get a 12, 14 and 15inch laptop from Lenovo / Dell and maybe
HP on a Qubes 4 HCL this would benefit new users as they can just buy a
refurbished nlmodell for cheap.
Most people I talk to have no problem buying a laptop if the know what the
need to buy.

Someone might even come up with the idea to sell SSDs with Qubes
preinstalled which can be a good thing for new users who just need to
replace their harddrive which is an easy task with corporate grade laptops.

I know that someone will say, that this doesn't guarantee that the
installation has not been tampered, but honestly I am already trusting the
Qubes team for their work.

[qubes-users] Problem installing Qubes 4rc1 on Lenovo Thinkpad X200 - Installer hangs with VT-d enabled / without: libxenlight failed to create new domain (with/without iommo-tweak)

2017-08-05 Thread 'P R' via qubes-users

Hello,

I have already raised a question in the thread regarding Qubes 4rc1, but as
the Lenovo series is a common laptop for Qubes it might make sense to open
a dedicated thread for this.

I tried several things in order to get Qubes 4 running on my Lenovo X200
but it seems I am stuck.

I've installed Qubes 4 from USB with VT-d disabled which works but throws
an error in the end and which doesn't allow to start an AppVM:

Start failed: internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain
'sys-firewall'

I have also tried to create a new Fedora 25 based AppVM (HVM and non-HVM)
and run into the same error.

I have enabled VT-d in the BIOS and rebooted, same error. I have
enabled/disabled iommu=igfx / no-igfx same problem.

As I didn't have any trouble installing and running Qubes 3.2 on the X200
(with 8 GB RAM) I don't understand what is the problem with Qubes 4.

I've done some crossreading regarding the libxenlight error but didn't come
to a good suggestion what to try next.

2017-08-05 Thread 'P R' via qubes-users

Hello,

I think it makes sense to concentrate more on what we (different user
types/groups) would like to see, instead of having some kind of 'flame war'
GUI vs. Terminal.

The good thing was always that you can built very complicated workflows
using the terminal/bash scrips make life easier and that you can have a
GUI for 80% of the standard tasks for "normal users", which are more
interested in using their computer as a tool instead of tweaking around.

We can and should have both:
1) API/terminal commands for 'advanced users' and
2) a simple GUI for normal users who just want to use a PC that protects
their privacy somewhat better than their current Windows 10 Laptop.

The forever problem of linux, is the self fulfilling prophecies from
people who want to feel superior over others.

Disagree, I think that those people are just faster using the terminal.
And those users are technically skilled and have at least basic knowledge
about an operating system.

I agree with cooloutac that Qubes has a benefit if it can be used for
regular tasks without touching the terminal.
Even when using Windows lots of people use Laptops that have been setup by
experienced users and then handover to them.
They don't bother with tweaking the system, so simplifying the use of Qubes
would help to get those users on board.

BUT:
Important point is that additional security/privacy has most time a price
that it add a small layer of complexity/less usability for the user.
But Qubes is doing a great job to reduce this overhead.

As far as I have understand the Qubes team statement, it seems that the
concentrate more on the Qubes Core stuff and having the API/Terminal
commands, someone can still write a GUI for Qubes like Qubes Manager.

Honestly I don't understand why it is that hard to Port Qubes Manager over
to Qubes 4, so that the user can choose:

- terminal
- old Qubes manager with maybe a reduced feature set
- new Qubes widgets
- ... ?

This topic reminds me about the vi vs. emacs discussions. What the heck? I
use both ;-)
Or the new "Ribbon Bar" from Microsoft which was also not that accepted in
the beginning.

Make sure you have VT-x and VT-d enabled in BIOS.


Indeed, I have checked BIOS setting and vt-d was disabled for some strange
reason (it was enabled under Qubes 3.2 before).

If I try to start the AppVMs and also the Fedora-25 Template VM I get the
same error.
As I also got the message at the end of the Qubes installation process, do
you suggest to reinstall, now that vt-d is enabled?

Another strange issue is that I can only see 'Start' in the list of
available applications in all Fedora VMs.

As I haven't read this before, it seems that something is broken.
Guess reinstalling  is the best option??

Have you tried the suggestions from "Rusty Bird":

I ran into the same behavior on a T420. Removing iommu=no-igfx from
the Xen command line fixed it. [1]
If that doesn't help, _adding_ console=vga should let you see what's
going on.

Did this help in your case?

I don't like that Qubes Manager was removed.

I can understand that this might feel strange, but after getting used to it
you can do anything (even more than with Qubes Manager) from the command
line/CLI.

As far as I have understand, the option is there that someone can program a
Qubes GUI, but this is not in scope of the Qubes Core Team, which seem ro
be focussed more on the "real"/difficult Qubes stuff.
I think this is a good decision, but having something like a "legacy" Qubes
Manager for Newbies might be helpful for beginners.

I am also looking for an icon for Backup/Restore.

You can do backup and restores from the CLI (at least on Qubes 3.2) and I
am sure that this can also be done in Qubes 4 RC1.
In dom0:
qubes-backup-restore --help
... will tell you exactly what you need to do.

As long as I can't find this option I can't restore my VMs and this
release is useless for me.

Have you tried to do a restore via CLI?
If you run into problems, just tell us where exactly the problem is and
we'll figure it out.

I'll download RC1 this evening and will also restore my Qubes 3.2 VMs.
I can then update this post with a short how-to.

Then I noticed that starting a dvm takes really long (around 45 Seconds).
Before it was about 3 seconds, which is somehow acceptable. But 40 seconds?

I have also migrated all AppVMs to Fedora 25 and discovered the same

Running the same command ...

To test it, I startet the dvm from the dom0-console:
[user@dom0 ~]$ sh - c 'echo firefox | usr/lib/qubes/qfile-daemon-dvm

I discovered also that the startups stalls between

... and ...

time=1500551271.78, guid done

Between qrexec done and guid done I loose ~40 seconds.

I made another test with a Fedora 23 based DVM by recreating the disposable
VM in dom0:

[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create-default-dvm fedora-23

After that launching the same command:

[user@dom0 ~]$ sh - c 'echo firefox | usr/lib/qubes/qfile-daemon-dvm
qubes.VMShell dom0 DEFAULT red'

Finishes in ~ 12 seconds, so the problem with the slow bootup seems to be
somewhere in the Fedora 25 Template.

Any idea where to look further and was is happening exactly between "qrexec
done" and "guid done"?

Agreed, Mailinglist and  Qubes Docu are perfect to look for answers.
The only (maybe) missing part would be a quick start guide for beginners,

People will continue joining the #qubes channel (or another one) and ask

What is the strategy of having IRC available as the good thing with the

I'm interested in running Android as HVM within Qubes.
Has anyone trying to do so already with the code from the Anbox Project?

https://anbox.io
*"(...) Anbox puts the Android operating system into a container, abstracts
hardware access and integrates core system services into a GNU/Linux
system. Every Android application will be integrated with your operating
system like any other native application. (...)"*

I haven't seen it yet, but having the application  integrated with the OS
sounds like what Qubes is doing with AppVMs to the user, so very
user-friendly.

Thank you for the link, very interesting!
As far as I understand the qubes-split-dm-crypt has a security benefit as
the credentials are not entered in an AppVM where the encrypted partition
should be mounted but in another VM.
As such there is less opportunity to grab the passphrase as it is entered
in another VM.

As far as I have understand 'codegeak98' he is asking for a solution to
store data in one storage qube, which might be accessed by several AppVMs
while still beeing sure that the data is protected from access by other VMs
or even the storage Qube itself.

I'm new to qubes, so excuse me if I may sound stupid, but wouldn't it be
easier to include your storage space in your overall qubes setup (maybe as
an LVM), so that you would just use your qubes and extend their personal
disk space? This way you could take advantage of the isolation provided by
qubes without the hassle of setting up a dedicated storage VM which would
also need to check permissions.

On the other hand you could probably set up a storage VM and serve the
files via NFS on a IP basis. Since every qube has a unique IP address you
could make sure that no other qube except the one you permit has access to
a specific storage folder.

One idea that came to my mind:
- setup a "storage qube" which serves as a NFS Server

- create exports in separate folders which can only be accessed by
dedicated IPs (from the AppVMs)

- as an additional Layer of security you could use encfs (with maybe some
symlinks) in the AppVMs, so that the date is decrypted from the view of an
AppVM but encrypted from the view of the Storage Qube.

I guess it should be possible to script something where the decryption key
is stored locally in the AppVM (Assuming that the data would be unencrypted
in the AppVM without a "Storage Qube".

Would this work for you?

I think the starting point is the Qubes Documentation:

Re: [qubes-users] Using and Mounting a Secondary Internal HD

2017-07-10 Thread 'P R' via qubes-users

Hello ,

I am also using 2 internal drives.
One for Qubes and one for windows.
I have just installed Qubes to the 2nd drive and set it up as default boot
drive in the BIOS.
If I need to boot into Windows I just hit F12 when starting, which brings
me to the boot menu.

If I understand you right, you want to use a 2nd drive as additional (!)
storage for Qubes, right?

I think what you want is to setup the partition as a LUKAS partition (to
have encryption) and then create a filesystem (extX) on top.

Maybe also setup LVM.

Another option could be to extend the LVM (if you are using LVM in Qubes)
with a 2nd drive (your M2 SSD).

In case you do not want to enter 2 credentials for LUKS you could maybe
store the decryption key on dom0.

Then adding the 2nd drive to LVM, create an own Volumegroup and migrate the
VMs.

I have booted a Fedora 25 Live system.
My Qubes 4 installation is installed on my 2nd built-in SSD (/dev/sdb).
My first SSD is used for my windows installation.
Default Boot drive is /dev/sdb

partition layout of /dev/sdb

[root@localhost-live ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 447.1 GiB, 480103981056 bytes, 937703088 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x88a60036

/dev/sdb1  *   2048   2099199   2097152 1G 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2   2099200 937701375 935602176 446.1G 83 Linux

where /dev/sdb1 is the boot drive and /dev/sdb2 is the encrypted partition
with LVM on top.

I have attached the /grub2/grub.cfg as it is a bigger file.

I try to boot the following menu entry, which results in a black screen and
a reboot after a few seconds.
I am not even reaching the prompt to enter my password to decrypt my Qubes
partition (/dev/sdb2), so it has to be something with the boot options or
BIOS settings.
btw: No changes have been made in the BIOS coming from Qubes 3.2.

Looking at the neccessary specs it seems that my laptop is Qubes 4
compatible.

[qubes-users] Qubes OS 4 pre RC1

2017-07-08 Thread 'P R' via qubes-users

Hello,

I tried to install Qubes 4 pre RC1 on my Lenovo Thinkpad W540.
I've seen some warning messages during the Boot process of the installation
stick but the installation process itself was working without any problems.
After ~15min Qubes was ready to reboot.

When I reboot, Qubes Boot Menu comes up, but when I hit enter, after
roughly 6 seconds a reboot happens.

I have also tried to remove rhgb quiet from the grub line, to get more
information, but I just get a black screen, then reboot.

Any idea where to look for the for cause.

[qubes-users] WWAN-Card not showing up in Fedora 24 based NetworkManager

2017-07-07 Thread 'P R' via qubes-users


Hello,

while my WWAN-card (Sierra Wireless EM7345) was working under the 
default Fedora 23 template I have a problems to get it working under my 
fedora 24 templates (all based on the Qubes OS fedora-24-minimal template).


Problem:
the WWAN card is visible within my net-VM, but I can't see it under the 
Network Manager applet in the menu bar.


Setup:
WWAN-Card is passed to my sys-net VM via an usb-qube and visible in the 
net-VM:


It seems that my WWAN-card is present in my sys-net, but even after 
setting up a connection in NetworkManager I can't see a WWAN entry in 
the applet of Network Manager like in Fedora23, where I then hit connect 
and done.


In my template VM I have also installed ModemManagerwith:
sudo dnf install ModemManager

As suggested in other treads and sites I have run the following commands 
in my Net VM


[user@my-sys-net ~]$ sudo systemctl start ModemManager
[user@my-sys-net ~]$ sudo systemctl enable ModemManager

I'm stuck, what am I missing?

[qubes-users] LTE-card stopped working in my fedora-24-minimal sys-net Net-VM

2017-07-04 Thread 'P R' via qubes-users


Hello,

I'm trying to get my new sys.net NetVM (based on the fedora-24-minimal) 
template working.


After fixing Wifi I am now struggling to get my LTE card working, which 
is working out of the box with the default fedora-23 sys-net.


My LTE-card is a Sierra Wireless EM7345 4G LTE card which is connected 
internally to the USB bus.


I was able to successfully mount the LTE card through my USB-Cube into 
the sys-net where it is also recognized:


[user@my-sys-net ~]$ lsusb

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 1199:a001 Sierra Wireless, Inc.

(...)

I have also installed ModemManager in my sys-net-template but when I 
start "Network Connection" for the sys-net NetVM to configure a new 
connection I can't choose a device in the setup windows because I my LTE 
card is not shown as device.


Any idea what is missing? Is this also a driver issue?

As I copied the content of /usr/lib/firmware from my fedora-23 sys-net 
VM all drivers should be there, do I need to load a special kernel module?

Re: [qubes-users] No Wifi Adapter in my-sys-net (based on fedora-24-minimal)

2017-07-03 Thread 'P R' via qubes-users

Hello Connor,

Am 03.07.2017 1:24 nachm. schrieb "Connor Page":

I guess you need to install any firmware packages for your network devices
first.
IIRC it's called iwl7260-firmware or something like that.


I looked into the sys-net (default Fedora 23) Net-VM and found several
firmware files under /use/lib/firmware including the iwlwifi-firmware files.

Looking into my new fedora-24-minimal VM I can't see any firmware files.

Question:
Is it ok to tar /usr/lib/firmware from m fedora-23 template and move it
over to my fedora-24-minimal template?

Or are there different firmware files for Fedora 24?

Can I install them through a package?

[qubes-users] No Wifi Adapter in my-sys-net (based on fedora-24-minimal)

2017-07-02 Thread 'P R' via qubes-users


Hello,

my Lenovo W540 is working without any problems under Qubes 3.2 with the 
fedora-23 templates.


I have now created a new template based on fedora-24-minimal which I use 
für my Net-VM, Firewall-VM and also USB-Qube.


Strangely my Wifi adapter is not available in my sys-net (based on 
fedora-24-minimal) while it is working without any problems in the 
sys-net (based on fedora-23).


I have verified that all modules which are running in fedora-23 sys-net 
VM are also available in fedora-24 sys-net VM.

In the fedora-24 net-VM I've run the following command:

   sudo modprobe -v iwlwifi

   sudo modprobe -v iwlmvm

   sudo modprobe -v mac80211

   sudo modprobe -v cfg80211

When I start my sys-net (fedora-24) I still can't setup my 
wifi-connection, as I can't choose a device in network manager for the 
wifi-connection.


The list is empty.


When I run lspci in my sys-net (fedora-24) I can see that the internal 
network card and also my wifi card are known to the system, but I still 
can't setup a wifi connection.


Any ideas what I should do at this point?

I've looked at the Qubes Documentation at: 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/wireless-troubleshooting/


... but I didn't find a suggestion what to try next.

Any help would be great.

Regards


- Ph

Re: [qubes-users] SOLVED: Help :: Disposable VMs start without a NetVM (can't use DVMs currently )

2017-07-02 Thread 'P R' via qubes-users

Hello Unman,

On 07/02/17 03:19, Unman wrote:

The "netVM for dispVM" entry sets the netVM for disposableVMs started
from that qube.
If you start it from the Qubes Menu then it will (should) honour the
setting for the dvmTemplate, and so in your case start a disposableVM
attached to the firewall. If you are starting a disposableVM from a
qube (by e.g "open in disposable VM") then THAT disposableVM will be
connected to whatever the entry for "NetVM for dispVM" says for that
qube.

Thank you for the clarification, that wasn't clear to me, maybe this
should be highlighted in the documentation?

* Solution *
I have removed the DVM-template and made sure that the template VM will
work if I attach my sys-firewall as Net-VM to it.

I then did the following steps in dom0, where "my-fedora-24-apps" is my
own fedora template for app-vms.

# Create a new template for my disposable VMs based on my template
"my-fedora-24-apps"

qvm-create-default-dvm my-fedora-24-apps

# attach sys-firewall to this template
qvm-prefs -s my-fedora-24-apps-dvm netvm sys-firewall

# Reboot Qubes
shutdown -r now

After the reboot I started DispVM: Firefox web Browser from the Qubes
menu with a working network connection.

Thank your for the hint.

[qubes-users] Help :: Disposable VMs start without a NetVM (can't use DVMs currently )

2017-07-01 Thread 'P R' via qubes-users

Hello,

I have spend several hours to built new Template VMs from scratch (more
precise: the fedora-24-minimal templates).

Now I have the problem, that my new disposable VMs all start without an
attaches Net-VM.

sys-usb, sys-firewall, sys-net are now all based on the
fedora-24-minimal template, with some additional packages, as suggested
in the documentation.

I have also built a new dvm which is based on the fedora-24 template:

My default fedora-24 template is named "my-fedora-24-apps" and is a
Template VM without a NetVM attached.

I created a new dvm in dom0:

[user@dom0 ~] qvm-create-default-dvm my-fedora-24-apps

In preferences of the new dvm template which is named
"my-fedora-24-apps-dvm" I have attached the firewall Proxy VM as NetVM.

But when I launch a program in the disposable VM there is no Net-VM
attached.
I have also set the "NetVM for DispVM" unter "Other" in the "Advanced"
Settings Tab of Qubes Manager for the dvm template to sys-firewall.

Still all my disposable AppVM start with an empty NetVM.
If I edit a disposable App VM and add the sys-firewall as NetVM,
everything works fine.

QUESTION:
Where and how am I supposed to set the correct information which NetVM
should be used for my DVMs?

[qubes-users] How to hide template VMs or other in Qubes Manager

2017-06-14 Thread 'P R' via qubes-users

Hello,

I'd like to keep my Qubes Manager Interface lean so that I can see what is
going on.

Is there any way to hide not running template VMs from Qubes Manager?
I would like to see this as an additional option in the Qubes "View" menu
(Show/Hide template VMs).

As the dvm-AppVM can be hide via "Show/Hide Internal VMs" I tried to edit
/var/lib/qubes/qubes.xml and set the Internal flag vom false to true, but
this doesn't hide the VM in Qubes Manager, even after closing and
restarting Qubes Manager.

Question:
Can the hide Template VM feature be added in further versions of Qubes
Manager

And:

How can I mark a VM as internal?
