[qubes-users] Re: slightly off-topic: self-resetting OS idea

2019-08-29 Thread scoobyscrappy
You may want to take a look at Fedora's Silverblue immutable desktop 
operating system.  I had problems installing the latest version but 
conceptually the OS in time will be a good alternative to Qubes which I use 
as my daily driver.

[qubes-users] Fedora-29 Template Updates Kernel Question

2019-02-01 Thread scoobyscrappy
Hi All,

I updated my Fedora-29 template today and I noticed that it installed 
vmlinux-4.20.5-200.fc29.x86_64.  After a reboot, the fedora-29 template says 
4.14.74-1.pvops.qubes.x86_64 which is the same as dom0.

I am new to Qubes so I do not understand why the fedora-29 updated the kernel 
to 4.20 but did not boot to that kernel but instead stayed at 4.14 like dom0.

In the untangle-firewall HVM, I added sys-net in the Networking field.  I have 
a disposable qube which has the untangle-firewall in the Networking field.  
When I start the disposable qube, I do see that the untangle-firewall qube 
added a vif interface but it has no ip address and is down and the untangle 
firewall does not recognize the vif interface in its configuration gui.

Hello,

I am new to Qubes running on 4.0.  I would like to test the Untangle firewall

I created the Untangle firewall as a HVM VM but it only shows one interface.  
How do I add the virtual interface?  What else am I missing?
