Re: [qubes-users] Question about qubes s hypervisor

[blacklight]

What i wonderd the most, if bhyve had these features, would it be a more secure 
hypervisor then xen for qubes? Since xen has the advantage of having a broader 
audience looking at the code for vurnablities, and bhyve has less lines of code 
to have vurnerablities in, i wonder what would be preferable for a secure 
hypervisor for qubes.

[qubes-users] Weird login problem

[blacklight]

So i recently decided to try subgraph out as a hvm in qubes, first everything 
went well, i choose lvm and everything installed fine, i could also boot up the 
system, so i thought everything was alright, until i logged in, because after i 
log in, the system starts acting weird. It seems like only the bottem half of 
the screen displays subgraph, while the upperhalf still shows the background 
image of the login screen.

Things i have tried:
Reinstalling
Logging in with different graphical modes.
Launching the vm with the video type changes from xen to cirrus.(this will make 
the vm freeze at boot after grub)

Things to note:
I have tried booting the live enviorment, which seems to work perfectly fine, 
and doesnt show the issue i have with the installed version.


I hope if anyone here has suggestions of what to do next?

A big thanks to all who read this :)

Greetings, blacklight447

first,with as root, they mean you should type "sudo" in front of all the 
commands (without the quotation marks) in the dom0 command line.
second, it depends on your threat level, as it is described: during boot, dom0 
is shortly exposed to all the usb controllers, so if one where to be able to 
plug in a malicous usb drive during the early boot period, he might be able to 
takeover your system, this can be prevented by blacklisting all usb controllers 
in dom0. deciding whether this might be a threat in your situation is up to you 
and depends entirely on your threat level.

so first tell me: where does it exactly hang? the part where it boots up? where 
you choose your drive? or where you hit the install button.

i wonder if your tablet supports vt-x and vt-d though.

So the notion in the pdf file stating that dom0 is unecrypted is wrong i 
understand? also, what about xen, is it located in /boot or is it also 
encrypted?

another option could be to download the drivers on another machine, putting 
them onto a usb drive, and then installing them on your qubes installtion.

have you tried installing/updating your drivers?
also, updating dom0 sometimes does the trick.

you would want to take a look at this 
:https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/full-screen-mode/

i have to warn you though, enableing fullscreen does have some security risks.
copied from the link above: 

Why is full screen mode potentially dangerous?
If one allowed one of the VMs to “own” the full screen, e.g. to show a movie on 
a full screen, it might not be possible for the user to know if the 
applications/VM really “released” the full screen, or if it has started 
emulating the whole desktop and is pretending to be the trusted Window Manager, 
drawing shapes on the screen that look e.g. like other windows, belonging to 
other domains (e.g. to trick the user into entering a secret passphrase into a 
window that looks like belonging to some trusted domain).



good luck :)

have you verified the Iso before installing?
your iso could have become corrupt during your download causing a defect 
installaton to take place.
