It is really just a matter of how the templates are built. By default, a 
generic file for repositories is included with release variable for current 
current-testing etc. It would be much more work to separate everything 
depending on the state of all others packages...

Hi,
It is just a preparation of Qubes repositories for building the template 
(https://groups.google.com/d/topic/qubes-devel/l9xDmPXpNfg/discussion)

You can build the template if you want using my repos but it should be 
available soon in the officials. I can send you if you want a specific config 
conf for qubes-builder.

Best,

You can try the kernel-4.12 with Qubes 3.2 
(https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-devel/17qazOdsQ74/mAQLiQ1dBgAJ) it 
should work with latest NVIDIA cards as it does for my GTX970 who had a lot of 
trouble before this kernel version.

Now building and running properly kernel-4.12 is ok. I pushed on my devel-4.12 
branch the updated 3 kernel patches who failed at first instance (rewrite in 
the kernel sources to obtain properly updated lines).

We can now go on the next releases (especially if someone like has Ryzen or 
Kaby Lake CPU or latest NVIDIA cards).

Sorry for the quick updates but writing the message it came to mind that it 
would maybe something related to Grub...and yes...I boot the my dev machine and 
I don't know why but the grub conf was badly updated...

I can confirm that the lastest working version is 4.11.12. I will also update 
properly my repo for the patches in devel-4.12.

Hi,

It seems right for me. Just a a comment for the version in devel-4.11, the last 
working version (at least for me, and need to be confirmed) is 4.11.8:

The 4.11.12 has a Xen bug which has to be fixed and prevent Xen to work.
The 4.12.5 has also the same bug but need to have also 3 patches updated.

In both cases, qubes-core status:

août 11 21:37:07 dom0 startup-misc.sh[2712]: xenstore-write: xs_open: No such 
file or directory
août 11 21:37:07 dom0 startup-misc.sh[2712]: xenstore-write: xs_open: No such 
file or directory
août 11 21:37:07 dom0 startup-misc.sh[2712]: xc: error: Could not obtain handle 
on privileged command interface (2 = No such file or directory): Internal error
août 11 21:37:07 dom0 startup-misc.sh[2712]: libxl: error: 
libxl.c:116:libxl_ctx_alloc: cannot open libxc handle: No such file or directory
août 11 21:37:07 dom0 startup-misc.sh[2712]: cannot init xl context

I will dig more into the problem in the next week but if someone would like to 
test to confirm or not, it would help.

Moreover, for those who have problem with NOUVEAU driver (see my first post 
asking help: 
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-devel/koDHzHJICEs/M5B19MBgCgAJ) and their 
GTX970 with 4G of VRAM, I patched the qubes kernel 
(https://github.com/fepitre/qubes-linux-kernel) for version 4.9 and 4.11. The 
major problem is in the computation of VRAM which has been completely remade 
and solved in kernel 4.12.

Hi, same problem for me with 4.11.7. I also tried to select only AMD family (my
