Re: [qubes-users] Where to run undervolt script?

qubist:

PVM domUs have no direct access to hardware, so perhaps you won't be
able to undervolt your CPU in a domU. Running it in dom0 seems the only
option, however that is also the most dangerous one.


Ok, so dom0 is only way. I will think about risk of installing here.


Downloading arbitrary software from the web and running it in dom0 is
highly NOT recommended


It is available from pip install command so is not so arbitrary. And is 
only a short python script which you can read, is not very hard to 
examine. But again I will consider risk before putting into dom0.


> The software itself comes with a warning. So...

you have been warned.


The warning is only for protecting the hardware, not for warning against 
malicious software. i have been used the software before on same machine 
with Ubuntu for many months so it is safe with this hardware, this I am 
sure.


Thank you for giving me an answer, I can make progress on this now.

There is no best way to run potentially dangerous software.

Re: [qubes-users] Where to run undervolt script?

2024-04-27 Thread alesser

ales...@magenta.de:

What is the safest way to use undervolt script in Qubes?

https://github.com/georgewhewell/undervolt.git

This is running on Python. Is it better to use new service qube for this 
or can I run it in dom0/sys-net/sys-firewall?


I still need to know what is best way for undervolt.py to run. For best 
way I mean for security and without making more performance hit like 
maybe running a new qube.


Can someone give advice?
