[qubes-users] Re: Qubes OS breaks when setting up initial VMs on Thinkpad T580
I'm running qubes on a T580. I did the install in March 2019, so I'm relying on incomplete notes. Note you must do (1) before (2), otherwise your T580 will be bricked. 1. Update bios to 1.18 or later *2. Enable BIOS assist for Thunderbolt (make sure to use "Quick" boot mode)* *3. Legacy boot* *I believe that you must also have "OS optimized defaults" disabled. This is AFAIK a windows only option.* *best of luck* *Jon* On Saturday, July 25, 2020 at 4:07:28 PM UTC-5, deathg...@gmail.com wrote: > > Hi, > > I've recently tried to install Qubes OS on a Lenovo Thinkpad T580. > > But for some reason I always get this when doing the initial configuration > (after install where you choose what VMs to have) > > https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/242046482931384320/736628585644687380/IMG_20200725_175711.jpg > > I'm using Qubes OS 4.0 which said to be working on T580 just fine (except > for suspend not working) > > I tried flashing it on a different USB stick as I thought my USB wasn't > flashing properly.

[qubes-users] Audio Recording
I want to record lectures, both audio and slides. I've installed open broadcast software, and it works well if the microphone is working. I haven't gotten the microphone to work reliably in Qubes 4.0. My question is: 1. What are the steps to make the microphone work and attach it to a app-vm? 2. Is this scriptable? I have a thinkpad t580 and I'm using i3wm. thanks, Jon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Re: Lenovo Thinkpad T580
Well suspend seems to be working after all, but it works differently than the T570. For one, wakes up much faster. Also, previous Qubes HCL report was that it didn't work. I'm curious why the X1 carbon needs a linux mode, but the T580 does not. Jon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Lenovo Thinkpad T580
I've installed Qubes 4.0 on a Lenovo T580, using a legacy (non UEFI) install. The BIOS version is 1.18. I enabled "Thunderbolt BIOS Assist Mode" and made sure the boot mode was "Quick". (There was a very nasty bug which would brick the T580 on older bioses, when boot mode was "Diagnostic". See: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-X-Series-Laptops/Thinkpad-X1-Yoga-3rd-Gen-Stuck-at-Black-Screen-After-Enabling/m-p/4255694/highlight/true#M92166 My BIOS version should not require that, but given the severity of the problem, I was conservative in my settings. The computer seems to work with two exceptions: 1. When I boot, I generally do it with an attached thunderbolt screen. When I do this on the T580, I get a blank screen with cursor on both the attached and notebook screen. Clicking with the mouse makes the normal login screen visible and usable. 2. Suspend does not work for me. (Unlike the X1 carbon, the BIOS does not appear to have a Linux power setting). The first issue is no big deal, but it would really be great to know how to fix the second. thanks, Jon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Yes, i3 works very well with multiple monitors. I use my notebook in three different configurations, standalone, dual (with a large external monitor) and clone (hdmi same as screen). i3 does layout to use the whole screen, partitioning as necessary. In my dual configuration, each screen is managed separately. You can pair screens independently, one on the notebook and one on the external display. You can reconfigure between the two using xrandr.

I'm driving a monitor from my usb-c port (although the cable converts it to HDMI). I would start with looking at the output of xrandr. On my computer, I see a listing for DP1. If you install arandr in dom0 you'll get an easier to use interface. Jon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
