[qubes-users] HCL Dell Latitude 7400 (Core i5-8365U Whiskey Lake)

I recently got a Latitude 7400 from my employer, a perfect replacement for my 3rd gen X1 Carbon which died four days before the end of 2019. Looking forward to finally using Qubes with more than 8 GB of RAM. It works pretty flawlessly with Qubes R4.0.2 after making three changes: (Still have a

A quick follow-up on this: First, I have a branch with i3 updated to 4.16.1 for testing: https://github.com/dmoerner/qubes-desktop-linux-i3/tree/4.16.1-colors. I believe it is now stable. (cf. https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/5168) Second, a nice, lightweight redshift program

[qubes-users] Enabling a VM to move the cursor

On other distributions I enjoy using the Acme text editor (http://acme.cat-v.org/). Part of using Acme efficiently involves allowing it to move the mouse for you, e.g., to search for a term you right-click on a word, and the cursor jumps to the next instance of the word in the open file.

I agree with everything that Chris said. A few more thoughts: First, I think the article is probably right that PGP is not the right solution for most problems for most users, mainly because of inertia against integrating subkeys into your workflow. But qubes-gpg-split makes many features of

Thank you, this is a great tool. Everything is working perfectly as far as I can tell. It also works with fish shell by adding .config/fish to $chdirs. I was thinking about what kinds of files, not present in the default installation but possibly added to a user's system, might need to be added

[qubes-users] R4.0 rc4: Devices and VM tray icons disappeared

Hi all, After a recent reboot, the devices and VM tray icons no longer are appearing on boot in Xfce. I have no idea what might have caused this. There were no dom0 updates in the meantime. If I try to manually run them, e.g., python3 -mqui.tray.devices, I get the following:

Hi, qubes-gui-vm needs to be rebuilt against the newer version of pulseaudio. This should be fixed as of commit 4cf2d11 in qubes-gui-agent-linux, but it looks like it still needs to be built and pushed to the repositories. Fixing this is important because --allowerasing is needed for some

I've been using i3 in dom0 for about a month now, and I wanted to share a few tips and tricks (partly so I can have them in a centralized place for reference): 1. To lock the screen on suspend and resume, you need to add a systemd target in /etc/systemd/system. This has to use your username
