Howdy Qubes users, I've been following things for a while now and I've
got a new laptop to run Qubes and will be submitting a HCL report after
I work out all the kinks. The laptop is a Dell Precision 5510 with NVMe
SSD, Xeon Processor and lots of ram. While working on this I've run into
a few issues:
1. I'm attempting to pass through a Trezor/KeepKey device for use as a
bitcoin hardware wallet. The problem I'm finding (see attached) is that
the device shows up in the correct AppVM, but it doesn't have all of the
same meta-data as the original device. I believe this causes
applications in the AppVM to not recognize the device, and will not
initialize.
I then attempted to work out how one might setup the sys-usb VM to have
a internet connection (so I could load the proper applications into it,
and have them connect out, ie: broadcast bitcoin transactions). While
doing this I found that the design of sys-usb doesn't allow this (it
gets set to a NetVM without any network devices). Is there a supported
way of doing this? I'm not at all concerned about rogue USB devices
showing up on my laptop, so while I understand others concerns that is
not one I have.
2. I've read the instructions for setting up a sys-usb VM, which got me
to this point, this is the only reason I needed to setup a sys-usb VM
was for question (1). Are there instructions for removing it? I tried
the following:
sudo qubesctl top.disable qvm.sys-usb
sudo qubesctl state.highstate
But the VM was still present, and seemed to be holding USB devices (like
my mouse).
3. Is there much in the way of documentation for setting up the correct
intel drivers for the iGPU? I ask because scrolling webpages can be
pretty choppy on what I'd consider a very powerful laptop. I read
earlier that somebody was using drivers that they plug into Dom0 but my
understanding of how VMs are displayed makes me wonder that inserting
Video drivers into Dom0 would have a positive effect on the behavior of
a VM's display.
Thanks!
