I use LibreOffice or Calligra for almost everything except...
 PowerPoint presentations that I have to give to someone else.  I
frequently speak at meetings where I have to provide a PPTX file of my
presentation weeks in advance, and I *have* to use whatever audiovisual
setup they have (often dictated by the venue).  I have found that
presentations made in LibreOffice format incorrectly in PowerPoint for
at least one slide over 80% of the time.  It gets worse when there are
videos and animations.

Normally, I create the presentation in LibreOffice and then take it to
a place that runs Windows at work and fix the presentation there.  I
retired from my normal job recently, so I can't do that any more, even
though I still do presentations.  At the moment, my church is letting
me use their computers for this, but I don't know that it will go on
forever.

Has anyone had success installing QubesOS on a System76 laptop that

Yes, search this list for "Guide to installing Qubes on System76 Darter

I had similar problems with a recent System76 Darter Pro installation 
(search this mailing list for "Guide to installing Qubes on System76 
Darter Pro").


The wifi card that comes installed in a Darter Pro (Intel Wireless-AC 
9560) has compatibility problems with Xen+Qubes. I replaced it with a 
similar model (Intel Wireless-AC 9260) which worked fine.


You may have the same model wireless card in your Lemur Pro. Searching 
dmesg for entries related to iwlwifi should give you the model number of 
your card if you have no other way of finding it:


$ sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi

2020-07-24 Thread Oliver
The solution outlined in step 5 above actually works fine -- the 
inconsistent results were because I'd failed to remove an earlier 
unsuccessful approach that sometimes interfered with the script.

[qubes-users] Automatically remove modules in dom0 on suspend?

2020-07-23 Thread Oliver
If you want to automatically remove and reload a module on 
suspend/resume in an appVM, you should add them to 
/rw/config/suspend-module-blacklist


Is there a mechanism for doing the same thing in dom0? I have tried 
creating an appropriate script in /lib/systemd/system-sleep, but it is 
frustratingly inconsistent.


80% of the time it behaves as expected - the offending module is 
unloaded before suspend and reloaded after resuming - but the rest of 
the time it either does not unload it pre-suspend, or does not reload it 
after resuming.

Re: [qubes-users] Any news on 4.0.2-rc2?

2019-11-01 Thread Bill Oliver
Funny you should say that.  I've done the same thing!  I had some
hassles trying to upgrade, and thought to myself "Well, screw it.  I'll
just install Kubuntu for now and wait for 4.0.2 to come out."  And it
never did.  I still have faith, don't get me wrong, and I'm not the
kind of ass who would complain because smart people who are doing great
work for free aren't pandering to me enough, but yeah.  I'm kinda
sitting on my hands here, too.

[qubes-users] Installation problem -- cannot install boot loader

2019-01-15 Thread William Oliver
Folk,

I am trying to install Qubes 4.0.1 onto a HP laptop (model 151-da000).
It has a hybrid disk system, 250G SSD and 1 TB SATA.  I had installed
KDE neon on the box, overwriting the native Windows installation, using
about 100G of the SSD drive.  I am planning on making this a dual boot
machine, with Qubes on the other 150 G of the SSD.

So... I try to install 4.0.1 on this box.  The first thing I noted was
that the default for the root partition is "LVM thin provisioning." 
WHen I accepted that, I got the error that this was not possible and to
make a different choice. I then chose just LVM, which it accepted.  It
then copied all the appropriate files and then gave me the error that
the boot loader could not be installed, but did I want to copy the rest
of the files anyway.  I chose yes.

When I rebooted the machine, I found that I could boot neither into KDE
neon nor Qubes.   So...   I reinstalled KDE neon onto its partition. 
When I rebooted, Qubes came up in the Grub menu!

I chose Qubes, and the initialization screen came up, but when I chose
the default options, it hung with the error that it could not find the
kernel file.

KDE neon came up fine.

So... I tried reinstalling Qubes again, only this time chose "native
partition" instead of "LVM".  Again, it said that it could not install
the boot loader.  I aborted it at that point because I had some work to
do and could not take the time to reinstall KDE neon again.

Any pointers?

Thanks!

billo

I tried to research a bit. The only thing I could find was a Reddit post asking 
about exactly the same confusion:

[qubes-users] Installation guide warnings

2018-08-12 Thread oliver . salzburg
The installation guide at https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/installation-guide/ has 
a set of warnings at the top. To me, it is not quite clear how much of that is 
relevant when installing 4.0. It would be nice if that could be made clearer.

Further down, there's a warning "If you do that on Windows 10, you can only 
install Qubes without MediaTest, which isn’t recommended." It's not clear to me 
to what part of the process that warning refers to and why it is not 
recommended.

Cheers

[qubes-users] qubes-4.0_sys-firewall_failed

2017-10-02 Thread oliver . niesner
Hi, i just installed qubes-4.0rc1 and updated everything with testing repo 
enabled.
After that, the sys-firewall failed to start with the following error:

"Snapshot origin LV vm-sys-firewall-private not found in Volumegroup qubes_dom0"
I tried to add a symlink in qubes_dom0, but this doesn't work for me.

Any ideas?
