[qubes-users] 4.0 wouldn't boot after update
I updated qubes 4.0 and there were some errors (about transactions on--I believe--some crypto stuff). Afterwards, I couldn't boot getting the message kernel panic -- not syncing: VFS unable to mount fs on unknown block (0,0) the problem is that my backup is a bit old, and if possible I would like to retrieve the data. So: 1. Is there a way to restore the kernel to a working one? or alternatively 2. If I build qubes on an external disk, is there a way to copy over the files from my SSD? 3. Any other suggestions.

Can qubes support 3 monitors? 2. Can qubes support 4k? 3. Can qubes support different resolution. I don't know the answer to 1, although I can affirm it definitely supports 2; note that there may be limitations with the frame buffer size but X supports multiple graphics cards. In response to 2, it works well on a 4k display (I'm typing it on it now). In response to 3, X thinks all your displays have the same density, i.e., dots per inch.

Qubes 4rc2 works pretty well, but its not quite there yet (hence the rc3 schedule). I wouldn't expect data loss to be a low probability event.

[qubes-users] Re: i3
Apparently, the configuration at the bottom of https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/i3/ are unnecessary if you install i3-settings-qubes. You should do that before running i3, if you haven't remove .config/i3 in dom0 and then rerun. In addition to customizing terminal generation, and fixing up the scripts, it also provides a qubes specific status bar. I'm not a big fan of dmenu. I did build a mode switch ($mod+p) for starting programs in various VMs; probably build another mode switch for starting a terminal in various VMs. I used an external monitor in addition to notebook screen so I created an extra 10 workspace (using the function keys). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] i3
I'm using i3, and I like it so far better than kde or xfce, but its definitely not the window manager to start using qubes with. I have some questions 1. https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/i3/ is very helpful, but I'm a bit confused by the configuration instructions at the bottom. It says to install a script qubes_autostart_xdg.sh but it doesn't say (a) in which domain (b) in which directory (c) what filename should be used (It would also be helpful to know what the script is needed for) 2. What should I use to launch individual applications from the status bar (e.g., keypassx or firefox)? I'll make key bindings for some, but I'll want others on the bar. These are security sensitive, aren't they, since they run in dom0? 3. Is there a recommended way of bringing up VMs? I'm using qvm-start for the VM, and .config/autostart for applications I always want to started in the VM. Any better suggestions? 4. nm_applet seems to sometimes go away. Any suggestions? 5.

[qubes-users] Network selection
NetworkManager apparently selects which network to connect to based on most recently connected network. This policy is really unfortunate.
