Re: [qubes-users] building cubes how to include custom patches


ludwig...@gmail.com:

Hi all,
I would like to patch some sources of xen and would like to know how
to introduce the patches into the build system.


There is a patch directory somewhere in the build environment where 
custom Qubes patches get applied to the Xen kernel. It may be inside the 
chroot filesystem, but I don't have a build VM handy to confirm. Run 
something like "sudo find -name *patch*" at the top level of your build 
machine and I think you can find it, then check the make file that 
applies the patches to add your own.

Re: [qubes-users] usb keyboard not working on debian 11 template


'qtpie' via qubes-users:


When I switch the sys-usb to a debian 11 template:
(same)

The mousepointer does not respond at all.


How can I troubleshoot this? thanks for your suggestions.


Double-check you have the same Qubes packages installed in your deb11 
template. I'd look for qubes-usb-proxy and qubes-input-proxy-sender first.

Michael Singer:

Dear Qubes community,

i am interested in your ideas on how you would set up a Qube as secure as 
possible to connect to a single ordinary internet site (not a VPN network) 
accessed directly via its IP address.



What else would you do?


Possibly double-check and further restrict iptables & nftables on the 
qube itself, but could be an annoyance to maintain.

Re: [qubes-users] Issues building dom0, "Package rpm-devel is not signed"

2021-07-05 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users


ydir...@free.fr:

Hi all,

(resent here since something seems to block with qubes-devel)

I'm probably missing something in how the build is supposed to work:

Following the build instructions at 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-iso-building/,
configuring with ./setup, first with NO_SIGN=1.  The build of rpm-dom0-fc25
succeeds, and then the build of linux-dom0-updates-dom0-fc25 fails with:

  Downloading Packages:
  [SKIPPED] perl-Fedora-VSP-0.001-4.fc25.noarch.rpm: Already downloaded
  [SKIPPED] perl-generators-1.10-1.fc25.noarch.rpm: Already downloaded
  Package rpm-devel-4.14.2.1-5.fc25.x86_64.rpm is not signed


Plugging that error into a search engine suggests adding a 
"--nogpgcheck" flag to yum to work around it, but it seems 
odd/suspicious that would be needed if the other packages are passing 
the signature check. Are you building a 4.0 ISO?

At first I thought that maybe the NO_SIGN=1 case was not being as much used
as the NO_SIGN=0 one, so I went generating a key and configure it as
explained in https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-builder/.


You should be able to complete the entire build without signing it. The 
error is saying the downloaded package is not signed, not your build.



Also, is it really a good thing to have 2 separate pages talking about roughly 
the
same thing, with /doc/qubes-builder/ telling about NO_SIGN (which we see in 
templates)
and .rpmmacros, and /doc/qubes-iso-building/ talking about "fully signed build" 
using
SIGN_KEY (which we don't see in templates) ?


Probably not the best, but when I last looked at it I couldn't figure 
out a way to consolidate them without making it overly cluttered. Please 
submit a pull request if you have an idea, though.

Hey all,

VeraCrypt crashed and sys-usb won't open any apps.


Can't see how the procedure you describe would permanently affect 
sys-usb. Have you rebooted without the problem drive connected? It's not 
too painful to recreate a sys-usb qube if needed, but be careful if it 
is also handling your usb keyboard and check the related documentation.

unman:


Is it unusual to have more than one controller on a laptop? Venerable
old Thinkpads had 2 or 3, and you could easily keep one for dom0 and the
other(s) for sys-usb purposes.


From what I hear/have seen, newer laptops often only have one, in the 
continued pursuit of saving a few pennies at the customer's expense. 
Maybe I've only heard of them because of that issue, however.

Re: [qubes-users] detect tcp/ip connections of executables due to qubes firewall restrictions


lik...@gmx.de:

Hi!

Due to the current implementation/design of qubes firewall, it's hard to use domain names 
for firewall rules, because of "static" DNS resolution:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5225

To find out the "connection wishes/tries" of an executable, what's the 
recommendation to use them for firewall rules?
1.  Let's assume all network access except DNS is restricted from a 
AppVM. How can I find out which domains/IPs which executable is trying to 
use/connect to?
2. What are you're best practices to find out all IPs for a domain to 
white list them?

Best, P

1. netstat -pan, and/or tcpdump from somewhere networking isn't blocked. 
Might have to watch DNS requests to see what it's attempting to resolve. 
Don't know of a way to do it with networking disabled.

2. Check the vendor's documentation/KB.

Re: [qubes-users] Qubes won't boot


Qubes User:

Hello,
I was using Qubes for about 3 months and didn't use it last month.
Yesterday it wouldn't boot.
Using Qubes rescue didn't help. After typing passphrase it says Linux system not
found so it doesn't mount.
So i found a way to mount disk manually. Going through directories found out
that boot folder is empty.
Also if that is not an option i want to save my files but seems like private.img
are missing. There is only icon.png file in VM folders.
Is there any way to recover boot files so i can boot it again or at least save
files from VMs somehow?


Try booting with a LiveCD distribution. Scan and mount the LVM thin 
volumes with vgchange -ay. You may need to install a package to support 
LVM thin. You should be able to pull data from the VMs that way.

Re: [qubes-users] How do I install trezor-bridge on a Qubes system without a sys-usb qube e

'Joanna Anders' via qubes-users:

I'm trying to make Trezor Model T work on my Qubes system installed on a
ssd *usb drive* according to this guide https://wiki.trezor.io/Qubes_OS .
So by default the *sys-usb qube is disabled*. If I try to enable it my
whole system turns unusable.

Should I edit the *sys-net* qube instead of nonexistent *sys-usb* ?

If I'm not mistaken, running Qubes directly from a USB drive requires
dom0 to own at least the USB controller responsible for the drive. This
would mean you would have to run the trezor service there as well, but
as dom0's networking is disabled, wouldn't get you any further.
Unfortunately, think you pretty much require a sys-usb. If you have more
than one controller driving the external ports (fairly unusual on
laptops, though) you may be able to assign a single unused controller to
a sys-usb qube and use the Trezor device on those specific ports. Not an
option if your drive is on one of the same ports. Other option could be
to install Qubes on local disk instead of USB.

Re: [qubes-users] R4.0.4 Wiin10: block device dom0:loop1 not available

2021-04-14 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users

Steve Coleman:

I have been having problems with starting a Win10 VM for a while now.
Previously Qubes would always timeout and shut it down even though the VM
was up and running fine. My impression is that once the VM was forcibly
terminated/killed due to a timeout, usually the next time it would start up
normally. I could spend as much as an hour just trying to get it startup
properly, and now it doesn't even get that far.

Disabling swap or setting it to a fixed size seemed to help me here,
although my issue was the Win10 VM crashing on startup.

Now after enough forced terminations it is unable to even begin starting
and no logs are being created at all. The only symptom is the popup message
"block device dom0:loop1 not available". I don't see anything significant
from journalctl or dmesg. Running in debug mode does absolutely nothing.
Restoring from backup just gives the same loop error message when
attempting to start the restored VM.

Have you enabled debug mode, booted, then checked the vm's log in
/var/log/qubes? You might also need to set qvm-feature gui-emulated to 1
on the VM to see a display with debug checked, but see if it's already
set first with qvm-features .

Q: What is this loop1 supposed to point at, and is there a way to recreate
it?

I booted my Win10 VM and don't have a loop1. Is it possible you set up
your VM somehow to automatically map an ISO?

Re: [qubes-users] Black Screen on installation

2021-04-11 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users


Balmhood:


- 2 different USB keys (verbatim 8GB and samsung 32GB)
- In bootx64.cfg, I’ve commented out both *“#noexitboot=1”* and
*“#mapbs=1”* => this takes me to another screen but then I get stuck at
multiple lines of *: “localhost dracut-initqueue[545]: Warning:

out and stops.
- In my BIOS (latest v1.06), I do not have access to modify either
 secure boot or UEFI boot to Legacy (Thanks Acer), so I cannot try
troubleshoots I have seen with these modified.
- Plugging a monitor via HDMI, no change


There is another switch like nomodeset for nvidia cards, worth trying if 
you have one. Might also want to try a 4.1 alpha and see if you get any 
further.

Re: [qubes-users] Screen shot: open in DocumentViewer in AppVM

2021-04-02 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users


Beto HydroxyButyrate:


When I screen scrape in dom0, one option is to open in DocumentViewer in
one AppVM.
I assume it is because this is the only AppVM I have DocumentViewer added
to the big menu.  Anyway, nothing ever happens.  Does anyone use this?  Has
anyone used this?


I don't use that option, but save to dom0 then copy to an AppVM. There 
are some code samples and links under Productivity here:

Re: [qubes-users] Networking issue with sys-whonix, missing vif*

2021-03-19 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users

Vladimir Lushnikov:

Hello,

Since updating to latest Whonix 15/Qubes R4.1, I am having issues with
sys-whonix not bringing up the virtual interfaces for downstream VMs
correctly. I could find nothing conclusive in the bug tracker but am
hesitant to raise it on qubes-issue in case it only affects me.

The symptoms are as follows:

* AppVMs connected to sys-whonix do not get networking
* There is an incorrect nameserver specified in the AppVM
/etc/resolv.conf (the IP does not match the IP of sys-whonix)
* There are no vif* interfaces in sys-whonix, or they are down and have
no IP address
* There are errors in the logs of sys-whonix like:

Was this a fresh install of R4.1? If so, an issue would probably be the
best course of action since it's not released yet, so might not have
been widely encountered. If you upgraded by some other means, try
uninstalling the various Whonix templates & VMs and reinstalling via the
Salt commands documented on the Whonix website.

[qubes-users] Re: ANN: Qubes arbitrary network topology

2021-03-16 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users


Manuel Amador (Rudd-O):

Hello, folks!  I'm here to share this:

https://github.com/Rudd-O/qubes-arbitrary-network-topology 



This software lets you turn your Qubes OS 4.0 machine into an arbitrary 
network topology host. It is ideal to create networks of interconnected 
VMs with arbitrary pathways between them, and minimal effort compared to 
manually setting everything up using xl attach in your dom0 as root.


Thank you, Rudd-O. I've had to suggest to some people in the past they 
use a different virtualization product like Virtualbox if they needed 
more flexible networking, but this might let them continue to use Qubes 
instead.

Re: [qubes-users] Intel 7260 WiFi Problem: Failed to run INIT ucode: -110

2021-03-09 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users


'nickyfuentez' via qubes-users:


It is a Intel 7260 from a HP ZBook G2. It is using the iwlwifi kernel module 
which upon load will log the failure message block starting with
"Failed to load firmware chunk!"
and ending with
"Failed to run INIT ucode: -110."




Help would be much appreciated. I'm very new to Qubes. My guess is that the 
wifi-adapter uses perhaps some functions that are not avaialble with 
PCI-passthrough? Perhaps some power saving functions or whatnot.


That is a good guess, and same as mine. Many of the Intel adapters are 
not designed to work with pass-through. You can try the permissive mode 
mentioned in https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/pci-troubleshooting/.

Short reasoning why I decided for this MoBo: ECC support for a good price.


Interesting.


ASrock's quality is reportedly comparable to ASUS, and those vendors are
the only two who have ECC support on a non-server board. Also, the I've
seen rather compatible ASrock MoBos in the Qubes HCL.


ASUS's quality hasn't been that great from what I've seen (hardware 
design flaws in 2/2 of their mobos I've owned), but haven't heard bad 
things about ASrock. Thanks for the report, might be time for one of my

Re: [qubes-users] Migrating to Qubes OS

2021-03-05 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users

Flex:

1&2: I had a look into that but did not try yet as I was afraid of
breaching the security of dom0, but if it is the only workaround
possible I might take that risk.
Would https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb-qubes/#automatic-setup do the same?
Further I am not sure if that will solve the keyboard layout problem or
has a potential to make things worse?

Regarding 1&2 would it be possible to clone the usb-qube and then sort
the usb-controllers to both qubes and giving one usb-controller the
access to dom0 as described in
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb-qubes/#automatic-setup ?

Those automatic setup steps will create a USB qube for you if you chose
to not do so on install. However, if sounds like you did, so it won't
help to run again. The manual step I linked to permit an external
keyboard to dom0 isn't awful from a security perspective, as sys-usb
still acts as a middleman between the USB hardware and dom0. It does
open up a class of attacks where if your keyboard gets reprogrammed by
someone with physical access without your knowledge (or is hopefully not
wireless), they could maliciously send keystrokes.

Splitting USB controllers between dom0 and sys-usb is entirely possible,
but is arguably less safe than passing the external keyboard through
sys-usb, as it exposes dom0 to the USB controller and USB devices
attached to it.

Not positive either way about the keyboard layout issue, or the others,
sorry.

However, the VM is forcibly stopped after 15 minutes.

3600 is not honored

How can i get by this so this one VM can do finish its upgrade before

Think you can disable qrexec with "qvm-features [vmname] qrexec 0". Do 
this on the template. Set back to 1 when done.

Re: [qubes-users] trouble with apt-get on dabian


Steve Coleman:


Apparently, I need to reinstall a new fedora-33 template baseline and
painstakingly install all these packages one at a time while restarting
Debian-10 to try an 'apt-get update' between package installs. Somewhere
along the way, it will break and whatever I just installed will be the
culprit. I think I'll be doing a lot of cloning of templates creating
checkpoints along the way.


Good find. Hope my suggestions didn't cost you too much time.

Depending how many packages you're talking about, a binary search might 
help- install half of them recursively.

Re: [qubes-users] Migrating to Qubes OS

Flex:

Hello,

migrating from Ubuntu 20.04 to Qubes OS I have still quite a few
problems I ran into and could not solve yet using the documentation etc.

1. I need to use an external USB-Keyboard which is plugged into the
docking station of my X230 Thinkpad. I can connect the Keyboard to one
running VM using sys-usb but this results in a falsely changed keyboard
layout (US instead of DE) and I need to reboot to reset this as the
built in keyboard layout is affected in the same way.

2. Further it would be great to know how to automatically connect to
several selected VM after boot without connecting it directly to dom0 or
if not possible how to connect it to dom0 as I was not able to
understand the many different options mentioned in the documentation etc.

3. The sys-net VPN (PPTP) is not working although the settings are the
same as using Ubuntu, where it connected. Is there a way to get the VPN
up and running?

4. The qubes add on for thunderbird is not compatible with thunderbird
78 is it planned to upgrade it soon?

5. When disconnecting from the docking station to which the 2nd screen
is connected to, the windows are not automatically resized/-grouped so
it is kind of hard to access those invisible on the second screen which
is no longer attached, is there a way to improve this?

That is it for now though I might run in to more issues the coming days.
Hope you can help me especially with the first and 3rd issue as those
are most urgent.

Many thanks!
Flex

For 1 & 2, have you attempted the steps under
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb-qubes/#manual-setup ?

3 Does your VPN provider support OpenVPN? It's better. If so,
https://github.com/QubesOS-contrib/qubes-tunnel is probably the best
approach. Otherwise, try
https://www.mail-archive.com/qubes-users@googlegroups.com/msg02913.html.

5 Only fix I can think of might be to switch the desktop from xfce to
something like i3, but haven't attempted that.

Re: [qubes-users] trouble with apt-get on dabian

2021-02-24 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users

Steve Coleman:

I installed the stock Debian-10 rpm yesterday and it also fails to update
using the default proxy. The whonix templates based on Debian work because
they are using a different update vm.

I really don't have a clue how all the Fedora templates work using the
exact same default update proxy while the Debian ones do not. I have not
made any deliberate custom modifications to any of the update settings, but
something obviously changed.

My suspicion is on the receiving side proxy configuration in sys-firewall
but I don't know how to debug that. With the TERM setting being complained
about I am wondering how this proxy is being launched without a full set of
environment variables. This error text is in red, as coming through the
pipe, so its on the other side, not in the template itself. The update pipe
is not a terminal afaik so I don't know why the proxy would be complaining
it doesn't know the terminal type. But then why does the Fedora update
still work and Debian not using the exact same update gateway. Very odd.

I agree, sounds like something broken in sys-firewall given your other
UpdateVM is working. You could change your templates to use the same
UpdateVM as Whonix if you wanted to confirm. Otherwise, there's nothing
special about the sys-firewall AppVM. If you don't mind recreating any
firewall rules, try creating a new AppVM and confirm you don't get that
TERM warning at the terminal. Next, change anything that points to
sys-firewall for networking to the new one, and make it your new UpdateVM?

I have a somewhat confusing issue with debian-10 updates and would like any
suggestions on where to look.

All my fedora templates update just fine. Dom0 updates but it gives some
errors through the return pipe.

can't get terminal type, defaulting to vt100.
please set the TERM env variable.


I wonder if your Debian template is messed up somehow, and/or your 
Updatevm (can be determined by looking at qubes-prefs). If you open a 
regular terminal session on either, do you get that same warning? If so, 
you could temporarily switch your UpdateVM's template to Fedora and 
attempt an update. If the issue still occurs and it's with the template 
itself, there's probably a more subtle fix but I would switch my AppVMs 
over to Fedora, delete & reinstall a fresh copy of the Debian template, 
then switch them back.

Hello qubes-users,

im a Noob to Linux, but i wanna try it because it seems that it offers
great security advantages over a normal "bare metal" System or Windows.

However i have some problems, like setup my network printer properly, i

Have you seen
https://github.com/Qubes-Community/Contents/blob/master/docs/configuration/network-printer.md?

Also i ran into that problem that my Authy client installed over Snap
stopped working, terminal prints out that:

IIRC, both Authy and Snap can be challenging to run under Qubes, but I
don't remember what it takes. Think others have managed though. Try
searching this mailing list for "Authy"?

Also i want to update my old InsydeH20 Bios, because it is the first
release version and my PC is from 2016, they were several ME Firewall
patches and also drivers for touchpad for linux were delivered etc. etc.
and Microcode Update. I tried updating with FreeDOS from SD Card, but it
seems that my Bios does nut support booting from SD card. My Bios version
is V1.12 this is the first release..

Try a USB drive instead, maybe.

I have Qubes installed in Legacy Mode. Is it possible to switch it to UEFI
mode? Because maybe it will boot much faster? The problem is i cannot turn
off Secure Boot in my Bios by default, i am even not able to turn
hyperthreading of, because the InsydeH20 stock bios looks like from a
Kindergarden.

Qubes will install itself the same way you booted the install media-
legacy in this case. PCs from 2016 have iffy UEFI support, so if you're
functioning under Legacy boot now I wouldn't change it. The boot times
on both seem roughly equivalent, so that shouldn't be a major reason to
switch.

Re: [qubes-users] Configuration Files, Nested Virtualization

2021-02-21 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users

my kay:

So I have been trying to enable nested virtualization so that I can run
Virtualbox in a Windows HVM, but I am running into issues. I was trying to
follow the instructions from the Xen wiki, as well as this
https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-devel/c/UzO0BsIfIow/m/C7us11XHAwAJ post,
but I am new to Qubes so I didn't realize that it no longer uses individual
config files for AppVMs. I found this
https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-users/c/K8lfxC8xdp4/m/jGwC-gxnBAAJ
thread, and am now trying to create a custom config file in
/etc/qubes/templates/libvirt/xen/by-name based off of the default xen.xml
file, but I am not sure how to edit the file in a way that would allow
nested virtualization in my windows vm.

A somewhat more recent thread:
https://www.mail-archive.com/qubes-users@googlegroups.com/msg29743.html.
Editing config files would be the easy part; I think you'd have to
recompile Qubes to enable nested virtualization. I used to run
Virtualbox on Windows as well, but instead converted my workflows/VMs
over to Qubes only. Do you have a specific use case that requires
Virtualbox?

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/installation-guide/#copying-the-iso-onto-the-installation-medium.


If you want to format a USB drive for use with Qubes once you have it 
installed, it will be most straightforward to format it from Qubes. 
There are some Microsoft FAT/NTFS formats Linux can work with out of the 
box, but you have to add support for others it does not, which you can 
avoid by formatting under Qubes/Linux in the first place.

Re: [qubes-users] I'm looking for a laptop with these requirements

I'm looking for a laptop like this

hardware kill switches
100% free
Qubes works

Do you know of any laptops like this one?

I'm not aware of any laptops that meet all the criteria, and have looked 
as well. Closest I could get was flashing Coreboot to a Lenovo G505s, 
but you would have to hack in your own kill switches and the controller 
chip isn't 100% free.

Re: [qubes-users] kernel crashes (?) 5.10.13

2021-02-09 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users


haaber:

I am testing the above xen kernel. I experience random freezes of the
system, with no significant "last words" in the logs, if it is not many
many  qmemman notices like these (sorry for the length). Is this a known
issue?? Any hints to stabilite the system?   Cheers!


Anything in the Xen log (xl dmesg)? Some other debugging tips if it is 
Xen freezing are listed at the beginning of 
https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Debugging_Xen before the stuff about 
Xenstore, and https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Serial_Console to 
capture Xen oops messages. Not sure if there's a more state of the art 
way to do it. You might also want to mention it in 
https://github.com/QubesOS/updates-status/issues for the specific kernel 
you're testing.

Re: [qubes-users] No sound in XPS9310

2021-02-08 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users


Rama McIntosh:


fedora 33 5.10 kernel supports much more devices and audio works in the
upstream fedora on both the 9700 and 9310 dells.  I'll see if I can get a
patch into qubes the upstream kernel modules which fedora has added or at
the minimum the SOF stuff in the patch.   Then all our audio will just work
with qubes.


Thanks for jumping in, Rama. It's difficult to troubleshoot hardware 
without hands-on.

Re: [qubes-users] No sound in XPS9310

2021-02-08 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users

Fabrizio Romano Genovese:

I installed qubes on a Dell XPS9310. I was using kernel 5.4.90 and sound
was working, but wi-fi did not. So I upgraded to kernel 5.10.13 and now I
have both wifi and sound not working :D

It seems that the sound issues are due to a problem with driver
sof-audio-pci.
In this thread: https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-users/c/Fa65-e8vqdM it
turns out another user was having a similar problem with a dell 9700, which
was apparently solved. Indeed in the thread it is said:

Audio works (with kernel 5.10 and attached kernel base-config patch +
latest 1.6.1 sof-bin firmware https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin and
alsa-ucm-config files. see
https://blog.fts.scot/2020/07/04/dell-xps-2020-how-to-get-audio-working-on-linux/
for alsa ucm config ).

Unfortunately, I am not technically skilled enough to really understand the
fix. Does it mean that I have to download kernel 5.10 (from were?), apply
the patch provided in the thread (how?), include firmware and config files
(how?) and then compile and install?
As you can see I don't really have a specific question, and I'm more in
search of a few clarifications to understand how to apply an apparently
already available solution. :)

Per https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-users/c/Fa65-e8vqdM, are you
running Qubes 4.1? That might be the first place to start. It implements
audio in a separate VM, which might automagically resolve the issue or
at least make for a more easily implemented solution. In that case,
you'll want your VM's kernel to be the latest, so in dom0 do sudo
qubes-dom0-update kernel-qubes-vm-latest (from memory). See if the audio
driver loads in the audio VM. If not, it gets more complex.

You could convert it to an HVM which would allow you to recompile the
kernel internal to the VM using standard Linux procedures- check
documentation for the distribution you're using. If you didn't want to
convert to HVM, I think you would have to build a kernel for dom0 first
per
https://www.mail-archive.com/qubes-users@googlegroups.com/msg10886.html,
then package for VM usage with
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/managing-vm-kernel/#installing-different-vm-kernel-based-on-dom0-kernel
(note I haven't attempted this before).

Re: [qubes-users] Include ath11k in kernel 5.10

2021-02-07 Thread 'awokd' via qubes-users


Fabrizio Romano Genovese:


I tried, but nothing changes. My card is still read as "unassigned class".
Do you know if adding support to QEMU is in the works by any chance? I
don't mind waiting, but it would be nice to have at least a vague idea of
the time windows we are looking at (months? years?).


It sounded like the author of that other thread was looking into writing 
support, but it probably is not a simple matter so I would guess a year 
minimum for the code to be developed (if he decides to proceed) then 
pushed through the ecosystem.

Re: [qubes-users] Include ath11k in kernel 5.10

Fabrizio Romano Genovese:

Yes, I managed to get 5.10.13-1 working. The things that do not work at the
moment are:
- Wifi (AX500, according to google a notorious throublemaker), that is
still detected as unassigned both in sys-net and dom0.

Check out this thread:
https://www.mail-archive.com/qubes-devel@googlegroups.com/msg04757.html.
Looks like there's a limitation in QEMU that makes it unable to
passthrough multiple MSI vectors on a device, so driver upgrades will
not help. You could try disabling them and see if it reverts to old
style interrupts with the following:

qvm-prefs sys-net kernelopts "nopat iommu=soft swiotlb=8192 pci=nomsi"

Qvm-shutdown sys-net and start it again and test. If it doesn't help,
repeat the above command less the pci=nomsi option. Only option at that
point is to wait until appropriate support is added to QEMU then Xen &
Qubes, or to switch to a USB wifi device (but search on this list, etc.
to find one known to work with Qubes).

- Sound (must be a problem with the driver, sof-audio-pci
- Sleep (no idea what the problem may be, but sometimes fixing wifi
improves this too)

The closest thing to what I need is this:
https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-users/c/Fa65-e8vqdM which fixed audio for
XPS9700 (I have XPS9310), but not wifi, even if the drivers were included
in the kernel.

Mind starting a new thread for these two issues, or pointing me towards
one if you already have? They are a bit off-topic from the thread title
of ath11k.

Re: [qubes-users] installing Trezor wallet on qubes


Alaa Ashkar:


*in sys-usb:*

sudo vim /usr/local/etc/qubes-rpc/trezord-service

add this line:
socat - TCP:localhost:21325

but i couldnt find the path /usr/local/etc/qubes-rpc/ in sys-usb (in
terminal), so i couldnt create the file and add the line into it, i tried
both in the root and the normal user.


Path doesn't exist on mine either. Try creating the directory first 
with: "sudo mkdir /usr/local/etc/qubes-rpc".

Re: [qubes-users] BIG instability problems of qubes


haaber:


- The last upgrade removed my last 4.9 xen kernel which would work fine
(how can I get that one back??) so I switched to 5.10 directly. The last
one braught by update won't work: under 5.10.11 kernel, NO WAY to boot a
debian-vm. Journalctl says:


You may be able to get the old kernel back by specifying its version 
number with something like "dnf install kernel-4.19.155-1.pvops.qubes". 
Not entirely positive on the syntax or if it will work or further break 
your system.

Re: [qubes-users] kernel version mismatches


Rob Townley:

Kernel version numbers seem off, way off in some VMs and templates.

Mainly, that /boot/initramfs does not does not match uname -r.

uname -r vs ls /boot/initramfs*  vs cat /proc/version vs cat /etc/os-release

OK dom0: 5.4.88-1.qubes, 5.4.88-1.qubes,  5.4.88-1.qubes, 4.0

BAD vm: 5.4.88-1.qubes, 5.10.11-100.fc32, 5.4.88-1.qubes, 32

BAD vmTemplate: 5.4.88-1.qubes, 5.10.11-100.fc32, 5.4.88-1.qubes, 32


I'm not sure what /proc/version shows on "normal" Linux vs. uname -r, 
but maybe check what kernel the BAD vm or template is set to use on its 
advanced tab?
