No particular drivers, everything works (is usable) from the start. I've never 
tried watching videos using Qubes before so I can't really suggest anything.

I see now, thanks. Each ProxyVM acts as the FirewallVM for whichever VMs use it 
as a NetVM.

Re: [qubes-users] How to manually remove a VM?

The VM Manager allowed me to 'remove' the VM. Because the VM was renamed, as 
far as I can tell it just removed it from qubes.xml.

A bug in the VM Manager occured when I went to rename a VM, the VM files were 
renamed but the VM Manager didn't update it's records and still showed the old 
name. It leaves a bunch of references to something that no longer exists (in 
the VM Manager and in the application menu). I haven't succeeded in reproducing 
this bug, I was renaming a HVM template I had just installed an OS onto and 
shutdown.

Of course manually removing VMs is not the ideal way to do it, but 
unfortunately things sometimes go wrong like it did for me.

[qubes-users] How to manually remove a VM?

2016-12-18 Thread almightylaxz
So I made a HVM Template and renamed it through VM Manager, something went 
wrong and the VM Manager did not reflect the name change. (Can't seem to 
reproduce this bug)

I was just wondering if I've successfully removed the HVM Template manually. 
The process I went through was:

1. Remove template folder from /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates
2. Remove old template reference from VM Manager (or manually from qubes.xml)
3. Remove template's *.desktop files from ~/.local/share/applications

Is there any files I have missed? Also, perhaps a short doc with this would be 
useful for when things go wrong and a VM needs to be manually removed.

Thanks

[qubes-users] Re: Why is there no built-in nvidia driver support? aka GTX 980 issues

2016-09-17 Thread almightylaxz
I have been doing some tests using a GTX 1070, on Qubes R3.2, I think it is 
fair to say GTX 900 and 1000 series cards are unusable right now going by user 
reports.

Booting in BIOS mode without self-test:
Starting installer, one moment...
*black screen*

Booting in BIOS mode with self-test:
Starting installer, one moment...
*scrolls too fast to read*
17:47:03 Not asking for VNC because we don't have a network
17:47:03 X startup failed, falling back to text mode

Then I am placed in the anaconda CLI install. Trying to go through with the CLI 
installer fails while trying to set an install destination. Selecting LUKS 
results in the following errors:

Generating updated storage configureation
storage configuration failed: autopart failed:
Encryption requested for LUKS device sdc2 but no encryption key specified for 
the device.

Booting using UEFI doesn't work either. It shows the 4 tux images and says:

[   0.00] efi: EFI_MEMMAP is not enabled.
[   0.00] esrt: ESRT header is not in the memory map.

The display then freezes, trying to switch tty doesn't show any effect.

I think this has something to do with nouveau. Searching around shows nouveau 
only got support for the GTX 1000 series in July. Perhaps Qubes is using an 
outdated version?

[qubes-users] Re: Possible R3.1 incompatibility with Samsung T3 portable SSD

2016-06-20 Thread almightylaxz
Update:

I have invented a temporary workaround.

Requirements:
Another usb or harddrive of 32gb (qubes system requirement)
Qubes installer or another *nix system

1. Install normally onto a USB or harddrive

2. Use the qubes installer (ctrl+alt+f2) or another *nix system to dd the 
installed OS to the Samsung T3 Portable SSD
Use lsblk -f to find the appropriate drive letters.

Example: dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdd bs=1M
/dev/sdc being the installed OS, /dev/sdd being the portable SSD.

I haven't tested the copy extensively, but it's able to boot and run VMs 
normally.

2016-06-19 Thread almightylaxz
Hi,

I am also having problems installing Qubes R3.1 to the Samsung T3 External SSD 
500GB. Using a pgp and hash verified iso that passes the media verification 
test. Running on a Intel Core i5-4570 @ 3.20GHz.

The install fails on the "creating swap" step with an "unknown error". 
devices.py line 788 is at the top of the error.

Also, manual partitioning doesn't work. Trying to create the "/" or "/boot" 
parition results in the error "cannot create aligned partition" or something. 
Clicking the "automatically create partitions" link in the partition page gives 
an error along the lines of "the root / partition does not exist" and "the boot 
partition does not exist".

I have tried switching the external SSD from a 3.0 port to a 2.0 port to avail.
