I'm pretty interested in doing some of that "annoying tuning." Do you have any 
suggestions? Anywhere I should be looking?

[qubes-users] No Internal (Notebook) Keyboard and Touchpad.

2017-01-30 Thread Marc Lucks
Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.2): R3.2 Affected TemplateVMs (e.g., fedora-23, if 
applicable): dom0 Steps to reproduce the behavior: Not sure. Did some template 
updates in fedora-23 and debian-8 installed a windows HVM (not in Autostart)

General notes: The Keyboard is working when entering the disk encryption 
password. After that the internal Keyboard and the Touchpad aren't working. 
External mouse and keyboard work. I have no USB VM and didn't tinker with 
USB/PCI devices.

I started creating a ProxyVM which doesn't autostart, and is not yet used 
anywhere.

The Keyboard was working until the last full reboot today.

Any ideas?

[qubes-users] Getting new hardware, GPU question

2017-01-30 Thread Sybil

Hello,

I'm considering getting a new desktop PC. It'll be more or less based on 
the one mentioned in the "cheap" barebone.


My current desktop has only 8GB and doesn't support any more even though 
the CPU is up to most tasks (i7-2600). It has a Nvidia GTX 750Ti and 
handles Qubes okay by default (on its own SSD) although 8GB is very tight.

I also have another SSD with Win 7 on it for games only.
While this setup works, 8Gb isn't enough for what I'd like to do. So now 
I'm considering a replacement.

  * Change the X99 motherboard for a Z170 one. X99 motherboards are more

  * Use a quad-core or dual-core Skylake. Performance will be worse but
you can buy a mid-range Skylake for a third of the 6800 price
  * Drop the GPU. All Skylake processors have integrated Intel GPUs so a
dedicated card is not necessary.
  * Drop the M.2 SSD and use a SATA one. M.2 SSD are still relatively
expensive so that's another corner to cut
  * Buy 16GB of RAM instead of 32GB. This one I don't really recommend
since it will yield the smallest savings but for completeness sake I
include it.

[snip]

My desired specs would be:
- Z170 motherboard with support for up to 64GB RAM (future proofing)
- i7-6700 or maybe even i7-7700 (is it supported yet?)
- Intel HD graphic from CPU
- M.2 SSD for Qubes + SATA SSD for (HVM) Windows (games only)
- 32GB of RAM
- A/dual GPU, but which? AMD seems most likely (see below)

I'd like to be able to play some games on it, so I'll need a GPU and 
thus the choice ends up between Nvidia or AMD.
My thinking is that if the Intel HD graphics is used by Qubes on one 
screen, the additional GPU could be dedicated to a HVM and perhaps even 
play games on it on another screen (in the future, for now rebooting 
suffices).


I've been digging through the posts and seen lots of issues getting 
NVidia to work with Qubes, although Qubes didn't need any additional 
configuring for my current NVidia card. But since I have only one GPU I 
can not test HVM graphics separation.
I haven't found any posts about AMD GPUs, however, I did see on the Xen 
website that secondary ATI/AMD GPU passthrough is possible, depending 
the hardware.

(Source: https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Secondary_GPU_Passthrough )
I know that page does say Nvidia will only work with certain patches and 
certain Windows versions, so that route is turning into a no-go.


Ideally I'd be able to use Qubes and be able to play Windows based games 
without having to resort to dual boot. (Kind of like in the Ubisoft demo 
of 2011: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gtmwnx-k2qg )


Is this possible? Can it be done with Qubes or do I need to "build" my 
own Qubes variation on Xen?


If this isn't possible, I probably end up getting a PC for the games 
albeit lower specs and a separate laptop for Qubes.


Any thoughts or recommendations are highly appreciated,
Sybil

I've been using only f25 for about a month now. the upgrade was smooth. just

looks like now there is a version conflict. qubes-gui-vm requires pulseaudio 9

I've been having this "broken dependency" problem too for a few days now.

Is pulseaudio so fast in deprecating functionality that it's best to
rely only on a specific version?

[qubes-users] Hardware report

2017-01-30 Thread Loren Rogers
Hi all,

I've attached a hardware report for an Asus G750JW. I can say that Qubes 
appears to run just fine overall, but with a few limitations. The most 
important is the wifi -- the Broadcom unit installed isn't supported, so no 
wifi out of the box. Somewhat annoying, but workable, is the monitor - the 
display brightness doesn't work, so it's stuck at 100%. This is a known issue 
with the kernel, and may be fixed in future releases. Could be worse, but still 
annoying. Also, the keyboard functions don't work out of the box. Things like 
the keyboard backlight brightness, wireless on/off, enable/disable touchpad, 
all don't work. However, the volume buttons do work, along with the monitor-off 
button. I didn't really try any of the other functions or the webcam/mic.

[qubes-users] Graphics card problem with Intel HD Graphics 530

2017-01-30 Thread Opal Raava
Hi all,

I've been running QUbes OS for a while, an I built a new PC with an intel 
i5-6500 cpu and intel hd graphics 530 card. When I just install fedora25 
workstation on it, the graphics look cool, 3d is fast enouhg. When I boot from 
the disk of my old computer the screen gets black at the point the gray screen 
with progress bar should be. I checked grub and it does give the 
i915.whatever=1 to the linux commandline.

Any ideas? should I perhaps buy some old compatible graphics card and just use 
that?

[qubes-users] Wine/PlayOnLinux Best Practices

2017-01-30 Thread mojosam
I am in the process of installing PlayOnLinux into my Fedora 24 template.  
Currently, my only use for it is the Kindle app.  I suspect I'll find further 
need for it in the future.  My original plan was to just use the Kindle app in 
one of my existing app VMs.  In the future, I might want some other application 
available in a different app VM.

I was rather shocked to see that PlayOnLinux hogs 800 MB on my hard drive.  I 
guess there's support in there for just about every freaking service that any 
Windows application might want.  I had just assumed that that stuff would be 
installed on an as-needed basis (Maybe standalone Wine does this?).

This got me thinking about attack surface.  Since this is in my regular Fedora 
24 template, won't this codebase be included in every app VM I run, whether I'm 
running PlayOnLinux in that app VM or not?  Presumably none of that code would 
be running, but it would still be accessible to malware that wanted to call it.

Related to that, if I am using a PlayOnLinux application, then whole hunks of 
that codebase would now be running in that app VM, so any preexisting 
malware/bugs would now be alive and fermenting within the app VM.

To minimize these effects, I'm now thinking that the best thing to do is to 
install PlayOnLinux in a standalone VM and run all of its applications in that 
VM only.

I'd kind of like to minimize the rampant spread of standalone VMs in my system, 
but it seems like this one might be justified.

Is it reliable though? For example will the result always be exactly the same 
as if the drive was managed in Dom0? Does the used file-system matter if 
applied through a VM or are any possible factors completely unaffected? For 
example is there a difference to manage BTRFS, ZFS, NTFS, EXT4, random exotic 
FS, RAID of any build kind, HDD/SSD, old or new cutting edge drive 
technologies, or any other possible factor, through a VM compared to a bare 
metal OS?
Anything at all to look out for if undertaking changes on a drive through a VM?

Does it pose a risk change in the rate of bit errors? For example from file 
system or drive error odds with an 1 in 10^15, to 1 in 10^7 risk increase?
It is after all better to be proactive to prevent possible issues, than it is 
to leave it unknown, when it comes to precious irreplaceable important data. 

Best practice in terms of security, yes sure, but is it also best practice in 
terms of data integrity? Is there any possible trade-offs here to be aware of?

There may be no difference at all, or there may be. But the point is, for those 
not in the knowing, which one is it? It would be great to be reasonably certain 
when using new technology where important data is involved, where common sense 
may need an update, rather than being among the first victims due to outdated 
assumptions, relics of an old age in an ever faster changing world.

So taking all that into account, all possible factors included, is it really 
just as reliable to manage drives in VM's as when done in Dom0?

If you're using Network Manager MAC randomization described in the doc, 
then yes---it will use a different random address with each "connection" 
(each radio access point or router). It can also do this for wired 
connections. (This has nothing to do with IP addresses... Tor handles 
anonymization at the IP level.)


Unfortunately, other identifiable information was recently discovered in 
the Wifi hardware handshake packets, so full anonymization at the MAC

I already have a bunch of proxyvms running different VPNs for... different 
reasons.

Unless I get a box with more ram or someone much smarter than me does one of 
those super-fancy <100MB RAM unikernel VM things, but for ipsec tunnels, this 
is the best option.

Besides, it's not a "high risk" VM or anything like that.

So big thx for your answer.
But now I have another problem. I have put some number in my phrase key for ssd

I noticed that in my BIOS I have now 2 disk for boot :
SATA6G_1: Crucial_CT525MX300SSD and Qubes(SATA6G_1: Crucial_CT525MX300SSD1).
I get stuck with that now. If you have any idee tell me. I ll try to find a

I choose a GTX 1060 because I believed Qubes was best compliant with nvdia, and 
I plan to use double screens with QHD + use of blender + game if possible yes.
I am new to Qubes and it's a new machine. I prefer avoid dual boot and will get

If I use BTRFS as my filesystem? I don't know.

[qubes-users] Memory and network problems

2017-01-30 Thread Chris Willard
Hello All,

I  have  installed  Qubes  3.2  and am having problems with memory and
networking.

Firstly, Qubes only sees 4GB RAM but I actually have 32GB RAM!

Secondly,  networking  keeps  stopping.  I  can  initially  ping (e.g.
4.2.2.1) but then I just get "Destination Host Unreachable" from
the DHCP IP given by my router.

I  am  installing  on  a  Dell  PowerEdge  T710  and  have  added  "--
efi=attr=uc" to the boot command.

Any help with these problems would be much appreciated as I would like
to use Qubes as my main operating system.

Best regards,
Chris

Hm, this sound like you're running a VPN in your AppVM. Are you? If so,
a better solution (that can easily achieve your goal of preventing
leaks, albeit for an entire VM instead of a specific user of a VM) is to
use a ProxyVM, as documented here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vpn/.

I am in the process of installing PlayOnLinux into my Fedora 24 template.  
Currently, my only use for it is the Kindle app.  I suspect I'll find further 
need for it in the future.  My original plan was to just use the Kindle app in 
one of my existing app VMs.  In the future, I might want some other application 
available in a different app VM.

I was rather shocked to see that PlayOnLinux hogs 800 MB on my hard drive.  I 
guess there's support in there for just about every freaking service that any 
Windows application might want.  I had just assumed that that stuff would be 
installed on an as-needed basis (Maybe standalone Wine does this?).

This got me thinking about attack surface.  Since this is in my regular Fedora 
24 template, won't this codebase be included in every app VM I run, whether I'm 
running PlayOnLinux in that app VM or not?  Presumably none of that code would 
be running, but it would still be accessible to malware that wanted to call it.

Related to that, if I am using a PlayOnLinux application, then whole hunks of 
that codebase would now be running in that app VM, so any preexisting 
malware/bugs would now be alive and fermenting within the app VM.

To minimize these effects, I'm now thinking that the best thing to do is to 
install PlayOnLinux in a standalone VM and run all of its applications in that 
VM only.

I'd kind of like to minimize the rampant spread of standalone VMs in my system, 
but it seems like this one might be justified.



Or rather than a standalone VM, you make a separate TemplateVM just for 
the wine stuff. That's what I do. But, those are different paths up the 
same mountain. I just make it a TemplateVM rather than standalone to get 
all the benefits of the Template/AppVM model. All the user PlayOnLinux 
stuff gets stored in /home anyways and I have the free disk space, so 
why not?

It could be the graphic driver inside the VM of Fedora Workstation OS? 
The way I understand Qubes graphic driver management, is that you need Qubes 
specific graphic driver in the VM since the graphics are (translated) to/from 
the system graphics, which again uses more common Linux drivers to/from the 
bare metal hardware. In other words, you might possibly need a second graphic 
driver inside Fedora Workstation OS to properly translate the graphics, the 
issue might not be related to your actual graphic card, but rather the graphic 
translation between OS/VM.

This too should be the reason why heavy graphics rarely works too well in VM's 
since it essentially is a translation or emulation before it arrives at the 
actual system graphic driver, and the translation isn't of the best or 
snappiest quality.

I could be wrong, this is only a guess of mine, but it may be worth considering 
before you go out buying another graphic card though.

A potential worst case scenario would be if you bought a new graphic card and 
the exact same issue happens again because of the issue translating the 
graphics over from the VM to Qubes. 

Also I use i5-6500 my self, I never had issues with it, but then again I also 
never installed Fedora Workstation on it.

A potential worst case solution may be to buy a cheap graphic card as you 
suggested yourself, however instead use the card to use GPU Passthrough 
directly into the Fedora VM, thus bypassing the need of a second graphic driver 
altogether. At this point should act like any other OS regarding the graphics, 
talking directly to the graphic card (Make sure the graphic card support GPU 
Passthrough). 
It may or may not be a lot of work to get GPU Passthrough working though, I 
failed with my GTX 1060 Nvidia card, since newer non-quadro Nvidia card models 
typically do not allow for virtual environments, due to Nvidias market 
segmentation design.

AMD/Intel should however more commonly allow for Virtual GPU Passthrough, 
though, make sure they support first. 

I'm not any expert on this, just floating ideas, and since I never managed to 
get it to work my self, I cannot tell you if it will work (Possibly because I 
got a non-GPU Passthrough card, but I can't say for sure, I need a new graphic 
card before I try again my self).

If you try a GPU Passthrough, be sure to read up on it or hopefully someone 
with better knowledge will be able to fill in. GPU Passthrough sure as heck was 
a can of worms for me, so I'm not endorsing the idea by anything but highly 
experimental and only if you got time/money to pass to try see if you can make 
it work.

What does 'xl info' print next to total_memory and free_memory?

I'll have to give that a try. Pretty sure that I was using LVM.

[qubes-users] HCL - Dell Inspiron 3520 (Modified)

2017-01-30 Thread Christopher Miller
Original wireless card replaced with Intel Centrino card to fix system hang
during networking setup.

Chipset does not support IOMMU (no VT-d), but does support VT-x.

Audio, html5 video, sleep, shutdown, and hdmi to external monitor all work.

I don't know if you've figured it out yet, but I also had this problem a
while ago. I reinstalled it a few dozen times and realized it was
because of the way that I configured the disks on the virtual image.
Don't encrypt the disks or use an lvm. I got it to work with using
standard partitioning.
