[qubes-users] Backup issues with external USB and ESATA devices
In late September I backed up qubes using a new WD Elements external drive. At the time I don't think I had sys-usb installed. Yesterday when I tried to do the backups I was unable to mount the WD Elements drive, another USB connected Toshiba hard drive, or the Toshiba drive connected with ESATA. I can mount USB flash drives, but with a vfat filesystem it will not support the large multi GB backup file. Booting Debian with the ESATA connected Toshiba drive I can mount the WD Elements drive without any problems. However I haven't figured out how to mount the SSD with Qubes OS lvm to copy the backup files. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: [qubes-users] Listing all available templates in a given repo

I would also like to see a list of templates and other addons that could be
shared by the community. A couple of examples of what could be shared by
community:
1. Debian, Fedora and possibly other distros templates for various use
cases.
2. alpha or experimental - Qubes-based SecureDrop Journalist Workstation
environment for submission handling
https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-workstation
3. Prago provided his salt configurations for Firefox earlier today.
https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email_source=footer#!msg/qubes-users/oStl_IGHuLQ/T56IxhxACAAJ
4. Backups to the local network unencrypted, or automated backups.
What would the community like to see documented?
What other tools, or website(s) can we build to provide gpg signed
templates and addons?
Debian and Ubuntu provide packages.debian.org and packages.ubuntu.com of
the various versions. The information can also be obtained from command
line tools, but the website is useful when looking for software and is
built automatically from the repositories. I haven't found anything
similar for Fedora, does something like it exist? It would be really cool
to see qubes provide an automated site which shows the templates and the
packages the template contains.
*What I've tried (for what it's worth):*

I have been trying to determine why some templates show none... And why I
can't seem to see where the space is actually used by dom0, it seems to sym
link to nothing.

Qubes is meant to be installed as the only operating system, so you are potentially opening up some risk.

How about installing the latest firefox as a further customization? Debian packages firefox-esr and changing the settings to turn off video autoplay is very unfriendly compared to the latest versions of firefox. I'm installing the latest firefox in user space rather than the templates because of the problems created by using qubes persistence/userspace and firefox's built in updating method.

For the Fedora template yes, but I would have to repeat the process every time for a new release of firefox in the Debian DispVM's.

[qubes-users] kernel panic after Dom0 update
I installed Qubes a couple of weeks ago and yesterdays dom0 update causes a kernel panic. Looking through grub it appears the new kernel is lacking the initramfs image (only the older kernel entries have the grub line "module --nounzip /initramfs-4.19.56-1img).Any suggestions on reinstalling the kernel or fixing the issue would be appreciated. The Reporting bugs page says to use the provided template, and to include the HTML comments in the issue template, but does give any clue about where the issue temple resides or how to use it. Thanks, Chuck PS. Qubes release 4.0 I installed the RC a few weeks ago, then reinstalled on a SSD drive. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
