you might want to give example template name cause I was typing

I always thought large businesses were always leary about wanting newly 
released versions of software to fix what isn't broke.  Unless they is a 
specific feature they are waiting for they usually stick with older versions 
they know are stable.  For example most businesses still use windows 7.  Debian 
stable goes a long time before a major release.  

Its usually the home user that always wants the latest versions of software for 
no particular reason.

maybe u can try and create network vm after install instead of a automatically. 
 Also 4gb is alittle low for Qubes, fyi prolly only be able to run 1 or 2 
appvms at a time, but it should work fine.

I've run into problems twice trying to upgrade so a full reinstall with backup 
vms was much easier and quick too.  one note is if you have custom templates 
use clones instead of defaults to make restoring easier.

most likely you will have to use Qubes 3.2 for a while. Probably a good idea to 
go to 3.2 first before v 4 if you're restoring older backups. which I know will 
restore fine on 3.2.

Re: [qubes-users] Qubes 4 Release Date

[raahelps]

I think most new users want more passthrough like gpu. IMO if I want to be 
secure on my pc i try to avoid those things.  I have a separate machine for 
gaming for example.  But I guess the idea of qubes is to be able to do risky 
things more securely in isolated manner and is originally aimed at home users.

haha no u doing it right,   I saw 20 vms for 8gb and was like what!>!   Depends 
on what you using your vms for. whats running on them etc...  in other words 
you actually use your pc for more then just looking at it.

on my 8g i can only have like 6 or 7 vms running, including sys-vms.  on the 16 
gb machine about double that.  before I notice slowdown. or dom 0 ram going 
down.

I had the same exact issue. And yes you only get the message when running the 
update from the qubes-manager, which halts the update.
If updating manually from a terminal it will just skip that package and proceed 
with rest of the updates.

What I did was sudo dnf autoremove and then sudo dnf remove flatpak and just 
hit y to remove dependencies that were listed.  I haven't noticed any problems 
running my vms after doing so, but I also wonder what it is.

why not use debian for it instead, i believe its already packaged for it.

Im not sure whether webcam work in a vm using a  minimal template.  Maybe 
someone else will know. but i believe you install usb proxy package in the

could be anything.  I have a pc makes strange morse code beep-like sounds when 
cpu is in low frequency, like when idle.  could be a fan, could be something on 
mobo.  make sure all ur caps are ok on the mobo, (not bent or ready to pop) if

In ur case its the extra frequencies needed for graphics and virtualization 
processing that seem to be causing it which is more common.

What do u mean by qubes is crashing. do u get anerror message?

probably not, don't think its a goal of Qubes-os, this is for normal desktop

hmm  tried a diff usb stick,  checked the signatures of the downloaded iso, 
used only onboard gpu unplug pcie one. check gpu bios options,unplug all 
other usb devices,  check mobo for options,  update mobo bios,  does the 
baremetal fedora 24 installer work?

That board looks like it should work good with qubes,  if I can think of 
anything else I'll post back.

I think by proactive approach they mean pen testing.

wifi's are very sketchy in linux.  might need specific driver.  might want to 
google how to install your specific model wifi on fedora.

Like andrew said unplugging the mouse and plugging it back in will prompt you 
to allow it.  Why your kb don't works I have no idea. Thats weird to me.  maybe 
its a uefi thing?  I use legacy boot mode.  Also check in your bios, there is 
sometimes options for allowing or disasble usb to work before os boots.  maybe 
that helps?

I use a usb to pci adapter for my keyboard on desktop with only one controller. 
I think most laptop kb's are already pci?

On another machine i have two controllers and use one on dom0 just for kb and 
mouse.  the other controller i have on sys-usb for all other usb devices.

sorry didn't realize you were same person lol.

you just have to install it in the template used by the sys-net I believe.

maybe this thread will help.

also I think deleting the sys-net and running the commands  qubes top.enabled 
sys-net
qubes state.highstate

will work?

I do both. Allowing specific https domains only.  I tried to go by ip address 
only but it got crazy after a while.

I use chromium with apparmor, https everywhere and scriptsafe.  

Also I try not to copy form less trusted vm into more trusted no matter what.  
It takes strict discipline like a shaolin monk..haha

When I do shopping.  I use a disposable vm always, cause alot of websites 
require some unencrypted pages. I preferably use paypal,  or a credit card that 
is only used online. two factor everything.  I keep separate banking vm and 
major credit cards vm.  separate store cards vm if page is secure.   and dispvm 
for everything else like shopping sites.  Always create a diff dispvm for diff 
transactions.

How much memory you got?

if you worried just delete the vm and recreate it. I believe you can with: 

qubesctl top.enable sys-net
qubesctl state.highstate

how did you encrypt the drive?   I have an external encrypted drive i use.  I 
simply open it with any file manager which prompts me for the encryption 
phrase.  nautilus should work?

what do you mean by sniffing approach?  

 Tripwire is good to have but it will take alot of fine tuning as well so its 
not so noisy.  The open source version default setups are for outdated 
operating systems.  It also takes strict discipline so you don't miss nothing, 
don't forget to keep keys separate.

I've tried to have a svchost.exe rule that only allows the update processes,  
but coudln't get it working.  windows still auto creates firewall rules, and if 
you remove them they can come back.  But what you can do is set them to blocked 
when they appear.  Its usually only for the "apps" from store.

I believe its only templates that you have running at the time and connected to 
the internet that will get the update notice.  So I only have sys-net, 
sys-firewall, usually running at boot.  so those two templates will get checked 
first it seems.  so one is fedora and one is debian.   if one of them gets and 
update,  I check the clones of them as well.

On another note,  it would be nice to get popups to desktop or taskbar for 
template updates,  like when there is a dom0 update.  I still resort to just 
keeping the qubes-manager onscreen at all times. (although alsso to look for 
yellow triangles if any).

There is also a pulseaudio line you can edit in a config file.  I've had

if its because you want to install something you can use a dispvm to download

you have to update it alot thats the thing. I think that is too much time for

play with the bios options.  like boot mode, , hdd mode, usb options, is there 
options for vt-d or iommu?  Qubes can be picky with the bios settings.  make 
sure you using a new usb stick at least 8gb.  check the key sigs.

wouldn't it just work like a normal baremetal linux system? I been using 
windows so much lately right now I'm drawing a blank lol.  I think you got a 
choice of whole whost of diff directories to try, google fedora.

last time I had to do this I made a .desktop file.  Does that work in xfce? I'm 
not sure.

or at least isolate a controller to dom0 dedicated to only your mouse and 
keyboard.  Just don't use wireless.

I'm sorry i was laughing at Joanna's comments.  Do you mean how to enable it 
manually,  or if Qubes is going to support it?  I personally wouldn't want 
bluetooth either man.
Maybe you hold your phone too close to it one day haha.  Or someone uses some 
booster outside your house to reach it who knows.   i mean anything can happen 
and taking over dom0 is game over.  defeats the purpose of using Qubes which 
tries to isolate hardware from dom0.

It is recommended to use usb with a computer that has the Qubes hardware 
requirements to be able to isolate the usb controllers from dom0.

I don't believe so but hopefully your machines bios supports enabling 
iommu/vt-d, so at least the controller will be isolated from the other vms.

Videocard might make a diff too.  I have nvidia on this one.  intel on the 
other.  I'll test it tomorrow if I can.

ya my cpu% goes way down. somethign like 60% to in the 20s. Its a Qubes thing 
but setting that gives me the cpu% I would get on baremetal.  I get worried 
about heat sometimes.  I thought others have had slowdown issues too on the

Qubes installs a usbvm called sys-usb by default.

so where you get the iso I guess is the real question.  And what usb stick you 
use to write it on.  Maybe someone has some comments on a good usb brand to 
buy.  I buy microcenter.

Where you get the iso is another story.  so use your brand new computer to 
download it. hopefully its coming with an os pre-installed?   maybe harden 
windows first follow these instructions before you boot the os.   
www.hardenwindows10forsecurity.com,  (read the instructions on an older 
computer not your new one)  make sure to follow the qubes install instructions 
how to verify the key signatures.  and then hope for the best.  use good 
security practices.  keep stuff as compartmentalized as your mind can handle.

I been in my amazon videos qube mostly since the holidays.  ANd so all i do in 
that vm is watch videos nothing else.  I use about a dozen diff vms for 
different tasks I do on the pc.  I log into this yellow colored qube, the 
default personal,  to log into my webmail, google, stuff where i'm not 
devastated if the password gets stolen.  more sensitive stuff in another. 

Actually its not true about my amazon qube.  I'm actually always in a 
disposable vm the most out of anything.  I use it for all random tasks that 
don't need credentials.

ah nice i was looking everywhere for the easy way to enable rpmfusion without 
having to download it. I remember you had mentioned it before on here but 
couldn't find the thread. 

You might want to add to set the output mode in vlc to x11, otherwise it use 
too much cpu%.

Hey Andrew I seen you on an episode of the new screensavers,  nice job 
promoting Qubes!

I've had to increase this on past fedora qubes vms so long videos wouldn't time 
out.  Never had an issue with debian though.  And I haven't had the issue on 
fresh system with the latest fedora.

Did you make sure you followed these directions?  
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/external-audio/

what type of bios boot are you using?  Try legacy boot.How much ram does 
your system have?  

What if you just remove the sys-usb and try booting qubes without it while 
device is attached?

Did you create it manually?  After removing the sys-usb vm then rebooting and 
seeing if qubes boots with the usb attached. Then recreate sys-usb using qubes 
commands
qubesctl top.enable qvm.sys-usb  
qubesctl state.highstate
and repeat audio device instructions.

Try disabling vt-d to identify the bios iommu as possibly the problem.  
Doublecheck bios options.

yes if you mean that the programs are not showing as available to add to the vm 
shortcust list,  then yes qvm-sync-appmenus templatename  should work.
