Hoping you might be able to help. I have the same W540 as you. I made the 
bootable usb using rufus and the dd method. It install begins fine but gets 
stuck at qubes-mgmt-salt-base-topd. I have tried several times. I even left it 
overnight in case it was just taking a long time. Still can't get past it. Did 
you do anything special or different to get it running on your machine? Any 
help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Thank you J. Eppler.

It is great work and we appreciate all you are doing for the community.

Anything that can new comers with understanding how to do some of the

[qubes-users] Controlling pulse form the command line

[jkitt]

So it appears that pactl or pacmd isn't in qubes Dom0 repository. Any 
suggestions on how I can control Pulse Audio through the command line? 
Apparently it can be done with amixer:

amixer -D pulse sset Master mute

However, the device pulse doesn't exist. amixer without arguments displays 
all the devices - no pulse device.

amixer sset Master mute

Works - but that, i think, is setting it through Alsa - and once Alsa is 
muted Pulse Audio remains muted until explicitly unmuted.. which has to be 
done through pavucontrol.

I'm lost. I've never liked sound on Linux.. it makes my brain hurt.

"Buffer I/O error on device dm-0" looks like some problem with your
hard disk. I'd first check for hardware problem, for example broken
cable...

I can't believe I didn't think of that. I'll try to work something out with 
qrexec and I'll post the code when I'm done in case anyone would like to use 
it. Thank you!

Hi Drew

Can you try just running the logging command that I suggested? No other
systemctl, iptables or anything. Just that one command.
Then we can determine if the file is being run or not.

OP was concerned with dom0+xen - specifically says that VMs will be
running from a separate partition.
The figure I quoted is for a normal install of 3.1 - it would be easy to
trim this down.

[qubes-users] Re: MacBook Air 2012 and that ol' Broadcom chip

As I'm still trying to go through different things to get a better write up for 
the post with the HCL (and getting the HCL report to run- it's not outputting 
files, for some reason), I'll give the Q

I'm uncertain if I made things easier or harder on myself by wanting the 
machine to single boot Qubes, no OS X. My first go at this machine a few weeks 
ago, I was attempting to dual boot, and was able to get past the installation 
step, but failed at a point during Qubes setting itself up on first boot, which 
I was able to overcome in this go around by checking the box that says, "Don't 
setup anything at all- I got this,"

* Create USB installer

* Create rEFInd USB stick

* Use Recovery Partition on Mac to erase drive. Working under the presumption 
that Qubes didn't support UEFI (which I later found out is not true, although 
the Apple implementation of UEFI seems to have had a bit of shade thrown at 
it), I formatted the drive MBR and FAT, one partition.

* Attached the rEFInd USB stick, and held down the alt key, and booted from it. 
It was the only option.

* Once the rEFInd booted, I then connected the Qubes installer USB drive to the 
other USB port. Refreshed. Here came the first round of headaches. rEFInd gives 
about four choices for booting the Qubes installer, "vmlinuz from ANACONDA", 
"xen.efi from ANACONDA", "Legacy something something". Apologizes for not 
having the specific texts, but three of the four would not permit a successful 
boot into the installer. The one that worked for me was something to the effect 
of "Legacy fallback whole disk" (the choice was all the way on the right). 
Initially I had not chosen this one because I had thought it was referring to 
the hard drive in the computer which had no OS on it at all. This is the one 
that worked.

* Once booted into the installer, I reclaimed all the space on the drive and 
left everything else at defaults. Started it installing, made myself some tea.

* There are guides that explain how to fix up the Broadcom stuff at this point, 
I ignored all of them and probably caused myself more headaches by doing so.

* On first boot Qubues goes through it's setups. The first time through, I left 
all the defaults, somewhere when it's starting up the networking stuff, it 
locks up and then refuses to boot up properly from there on out. There is 
/probably/ a way of fixing this, but I just went back a few steps, erased the 
drive, reinstalled Qubes.

* This time, I went with the advanced option and asked Qubes to not setup 
anything automatically for me. I did this to avoid it setting up the net-vm, 
which freaks out with the Broadcom chip in the computer. The biggest problem 
with this is that it doesn't setup any of the default VMs for you, and that's a 
/really/ nice thing.

* Once into the booted operating system, I followed the "Assigning Devices" 
page on Qubes's website: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/assigning-devices/

* I spent a bunch of time on that, until finally, I (as mentioned in previous 
message) trashed the net-vm which was running from the Debian template and 
re-created it using the Fedora template and the kernel in there knows how to 
talk Broadcom.

* After all that, time to start making VMs.

tl;dr

* Booted USB installer from USB rEFInd drive, skipped the automatic setup and 
used Fedora as the template for my net-vm.

I only play legal games I bought, but I know what you mean. I dont care in this 
case. Thats the reason why i wanted to use another OS.

Yeah i knew disposable VMs and TOR, i wanted to use them in Qubes. That would 
be very dumb to check your accounts...

Okey thanks, i will try to restore the bootfile from windows with the dvd.

If that's the case, then a Windows HVM will not help you - the graphic
performance is not the best.

The problem with video games is that either they are perfectly legal,
and typically include DRM technologies that work like viruses/rootkits
(and may pose a security risk - sony bmg anyone??), or they are not
legal and need cracks/patches to work - and these are typically
distributed by crack repositories that like to add malware to the
original distributions.

Qubes by itself does not give you anonymity: depending on what you are
trying to protect from, you may want to use Disposable VMs and/or TOR,
and you may have to heavily change your habits - if you use TOR and
DispVMs but all you do online is check your
facebook/twitter/gmail/9gag/younameit account, well, I have some bad
news for you...

There's no canned security you can buy off the shelf.

As for GRUB, when I used to fix computers years ago, all it took was
booting off the windows cd/dvd and using FIXBOOT or FIXMBR from the
recovery console. I don't know how it can be done with Windows 10, but
others may help, or you could try a web search for updates on those
commands.

Thank you Alex for you answer.

I love video games and thats because i need Windows...

I thought i could use Qubes in dual boot for better security and anonymity in 
web.

I have no idea of side channels attacks but i seems to be dangerous.

Can you help me please to remove grub, so i can start windows again?

What I'm going to tell is not the answer to your question; it's just an
outside-the-box consideration on your goal.

As you may know, the main goal of the qubes project is a big forward
leap in workstation security, and this is achieved through multiple
layers of isolation.

One of these layers relies on hardware integrity and side channel
attacks (i.e. attacks not done on a live qubes system), hence the
general discouragement on dual booting it with anything else.

Since you say that you are new to Qubes, I'd guess you jumped in with
the wrong approach: just another OS to try. This approach is fine by
itself, but the method to successfully try Qubes is not dual booting,
but using the live usb distro.

TL;DR: if you want to try qubes, don't dual boot it, but use the Live
USB instead. If you like Qubes, but want to keep Windows, then you are
not sure you like Qubes. In this case, keep a separate computer for
windows use and install Qubes on a different computer. If you do really
really like qubes, you may want to try a Windows HVM inside of an
installation. Don't dual boot it unless you are a solution developer /
integrator, or have a really strong motive to defeat its main purpose
(security) and just want to play around.

Hi,

I installed Qubes today. I thought it will add my windows to grub, but it

I wanted to add windows manually to grub, but i have no access to the grub

There is a difference between what kernel your dom0 will boot when you 
start your computer and what kernel your other VMs will boot with when you 
start them. The yum package *kernel-qubes-vm* package installs/upgrades the 
kernel your VMs will boot and *kernel* upgrades what kernel your 
computer/dom0 will boot. The 'Default kernel' under 'Global settings' only 
affects what kernel the VMs inside Qubes will boot afaik, not the dom0 
kernel.

You control what kernel dom0 will boot inside */boot/efi/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg*. 
At the top you can set the default variable to the name of one of the 
sections after it, you should be able to find your 4.1 kernel there. Change 
that value, save the file and from now on what kernel is booted should be 
changed. Beware that any kernel upgrade will probably change the default to 
the newest one again.

I'm not sure that the location I mounted the .iso from is related to my 
problem.  I had no issues installing from the ISO, hosted from my personal 
vm.  The problem was post install.  I will try running the vm with debug, 
and possibly play with amount of memory and qrexec_timeout  tonight to see 
if I can find more information.

Then it'll just fail to update. I log all the output and check it
periodically, so if something requires manual interaction, I just do
it manually at some later time. Most of the time, no manual
interaction is required for standard updating.

Sounds like it might be an issue with your network card. Try
installing any available drivers for it if you can, and post the exact

Congrats on the install.  I for one would be really interested in a 
step-by-step description of what you did to get it working.  Although not quite 
the same, I have an old MacBook Pro on which I'd like to install Qubes!  :-)

[qubes-users] Updating Dom0, Qubes, grumbles, things that need to be fixed and not need to be fixed.

[Drew White]

Hi folks,

Please, do not take this whole thing the wrong way.
It will seem like it is sounding the way it is not sounding, just because 
of the way
it is put together. It's all things that I find need to be looked into, 
things that I know
need to be fixed, and that I have fixed on my local.
Hopefully you will understand where I'm coming from and understand this the 
way I
intend for it to be understood, and not the way you will most likely take 
it.



When will Dom0 be updated to a recent version of something?

If this was CentOS for Dom0 then there would not be this update issue where 
Fedora
removes the packages and repositories for their "obsolete" operating 
systems, and
you wouldn't have a useless Dom0 that one couldn't get updates for.

This is the problem with Fedora. CentOS is heading the same way slowly 
after version 7.

But at least they have long term updates and stable system that doesn't have
invalid repositories after a few months.

Please change the way things are done so that they work long term, not 
short term.

Or else have a workaround for things to work properly over a long period of 
time.

Another thing, please get the menu structuring and naming correct, that way 
we don't
have to alter your code to make the menus correct.

With Windows HVM Templates and AppVMs wether they are standalone or not, why
do you have the menus the way they are? Why not build the tools to build 
the menu
correctly instead of us having to edit EVERY menu item to get it the way it 
should
have been built?

Why is the networking so difficult?
I have my DNS server set to the parent virtual (proxyvm or netvm) which has 
the main
DNS server as the one that's on the network acting as the DNS server, but 
the
virtuals can't find it, unless I specify it explicitly.

Why is it that the Qubes-Windows-Tools almost never work?
Why is it that the tools never set up the screens right?
Why does it set it up as ONE screen, instead of multiple screens when I use 
2+ monitors?
 (This is the reason you are having the issue and bug that you have 
with the tools on
large displays)

When reading https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1870
There are some good ideas, and some that aren't really good at all.

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1870#issuecomment-223055937
If THAT is what the manager will be like, it has no structure, no layout 
that is understandable,
it is designed to be "*wanky*" and not *functional*.

Your current manager needs only altering to work better, and adding onto 
it. Not a facelift to
make it look like crap.

The installer doesn't allow for multiple HDDs to be used. It just decides 
that all HDDs are 1 HDD.
If I select the smaller HDD that the O/S is going on, and the drive I want 
/var/lib/qubes to go on,
then it sets them up as one hdd and just wants me to assign space.
But that's not what I want. The one that will have the virtuals on it is a 
mirrored drive, to
keep my virtuals protected.
I don't want half of the virtual to be on the main drive and the other half 
to be on a mirrored drive
because then if my primary drive dies I won't have the first part of the 
virtual, only the second.
That's pretty useless to me.
