Re: [qubes-users] Qubes 4.0 rc3, Whonix template: update-command-not-found

Yup, if you type curl it works, but you can't curl anything out of it because 
you don't have connection. To reproduce what I'm talking about, open a terminal 
in whonix-ws/gw and type some random stuff (like "sdshgow"). Press enter. 
Whonix will tell you

"Could not find the database of available applications, run 
update-command-not-found as root to fix this"

Equivalently, you may just directly try to type 'update-command-not-found' and 
find that the template tries to curl some files without success...

Re: [qubes-users] Qubes Controller as the new Qubes-Manager

Hi guys,

during my Christmas holiday I spent more time to get myself a decent
GUI

tool in order to replace the Qubes Manager from the 3.x release.
As I promised some weeks ago, today I released the tool as free/open
source
software and I have received some positive signs that the Qubes devs
may

ship packages in a future release.

For me it already is quite useful as I prefer clicking to typing
repetative

tasks.

I'll attach two sceenshots of the tool, to give you a bit of an idea of
what

it already does and maybe if its worth your time to compile :)

This small GUI is split into two projects, one is a library and one is
the

GUI application itself.
The reason for this is that there is currently no way for people that
are
not at home with python to contribute to Qubes. The library will allow
a

much bigger set of developers to start to contribute ideas and code.

Its a long term thinking, in other words.

What works;

* starting/stopping/pausing and naturally listing of qubes.
* showing basic info (see screenshot).
* starting the tools with a single click which are associated with a
qube.

* showing statistics (cpu-time-spend, CPU percentage used).

What (basic expected stuff) doesn't work yet;
* No systray icon just yet.
* keyboard navigation.

I haven't had a chance to compile this yet but it is a fantastic idea! I
was kinda missing the old manager. Much thanks!

I'm not seeing any of the memory balancing log messages I was expecting,
maybe they aren't listed there in 3.2? I'll check on my system later.

Is it possible to remove or disable device 04:00.0 for a while to see if
that's causing your issue? I'm guessing it's an Ethernet card. You can
check with "lspci".

"sudo journalctl -b" might also give you some clues.

1)
Thanks for responding.  I have always have these ACPI complaints when I
boot, it may have grown to about 5-6 lines, but flashes by and continues
to boot, FWIW.

2) Below, is what a "memory balancing error" might look like?   If so ,
what , if anything in the  BIOS  or elsewhere  would you advise ??

3) 
Meanwhile.  Please excuse the long post below of 

$xl dmesg   (actually I used the copy from dom0 log feature)

I agree with Zrubi list. I would add some way to make some order in the
applVM list, so that a standard view may show only the most commonly used
VMs, while rarely used VMs are hidden and shown only clicking a button. To
do that, there should be a flag to differentiate the visibility of VMs.

This may be helpful also in a corporate environment when an administrator
can decide which VMs should be shown and which should be hidden.

My aim has so far been to show which VMs are there, which type they are and 
if they are running. This is visible in one go. Including even which VM has 
a high CPU usage.
I'm not happy yet with the way that the netVM is visualized, as you say it 
costs clicks on each VM.

Great idea!

Fully agreed, this is what I added last week. I'm using it all the time. 
Much more convenient than the start menu.

Present :)

Yes, definitely.

Probably this is very subjective, but:
For me, the most important parts/feature of the current Qubes Manager
are (in order of importance):

- - Full overview of the state of the VMs in ONE screen, without clicking.
The new widget is failing on this badly, just as your proposal.


- - Changing the NetVM of a given VM.
Mainly because I always starting DispVMs without net access.
And even the current solution is far from comfortable:
(VM settings -> NetVM selection -> OK
instead of a simple "oneclick" NetVM selection)

- - Starting programs from a given VM.
Yes the "start menu" is nice, but sometime it is just more powerful to
type directly what I want. Especially on an already started dispVM

- - start/stop VMs

- - attaching/detaching devices.

- - reading VM logs.


Probably these are only my personal preferences. Hence I have no time
to write a new manager for the Qubes 4.x I just shared my use case.

Look in "xl dmesg" for memory balancing errors. You might need to add
loglvl=all to your Xen command line.

In 3.2, I opened a terminal on my whonix-ws template, typed "curl" and it
worked right away. If yours doesn't, you might want to reinstall the
template. Also, on 3.2 double-check to see if you whonix-ws and whonix-gw
templates are set to use sys-whonix for their netvm. (Does not apply to
4.0).

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Lenovo G505s with Coreboot and Qubes R4-rc3 fails to boot

2018-01-05 Thread 'Emil Novik' via qubes-users

Does any G505s owner ever tried to put more than 16Go ram in it?
The limit is meant to be 16Go but some laptops can use more than officially 
supported, wondering if the G505s is one of these.

Would be nice to run 32Go ram on it for Qubes !

I know a bit about Radeons at least. Suggest making sure it's on at least
one of these lists in case you ever decide to try passthrough, and try to
not get one that's been burnt out mining coins.

[qubes-users] Qubes 4.0 rc3, Whonix template: update-command-not-found

Hello all,

This very very annoying thing happened to me also on Qubes 3.2. Essentially, on 
a whonix-based template, (whonix-ws or whonix-gw, doesn't really matter), every 
time I type something (aside of some basic commands such as sudo, firefox, ls 
etc) I receive the message:

"Could not find the database of available applications, run 
update-command-not-found as root to fix this"

If I try to give sudo update-command-not found then whonix tries to curl some 
files, but not having any connection (template vm) fails. The result of this is 
that I have to run this command directly in the interested appvm, EVERY TIME I 
start them up. Is there a way to make whonix communicate with the outside 
world, so that curl succeeds?

Cheers,
Fab

Re: [qubes-users] Netowork Manager not running (minimal VM)

I obviously checked that page (it is the first thing I did, actually). But
qubes-core-agent is not mentioned at all there. After hours of research, I
stumbled into this thread
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2771

>From here, dnf search qubes-core-agent gave me what I needed. I'd suggest to
>mention (at least) the existence of the qubes-core-agent-... packages in
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/software-update-vm/

I'd also suggest to mention qubes-core-agent-passwordless-root in
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vm-sudo/

I am aware that building an entire operating system is a lot of work and there
are literally thousands of packages, always changing, to consider. But pages
like these should be kept up to date. I wouldn't suggest to edit them (some
information that is still useful for previous qubes versions may be lost), but
just to index them according to qubes new versions: I'd propose to have a qubes
3.1, a qubes 3.2 and a qubes 4.0 section, for each page.

Cheers,
Fab

Unless it's a model M. Those can serve a double purpose in both shielding

Re: [qubes-users] Re: new Desktop build recommendation

hmm,  they do say they can get readings from electrical sockets on a power 
grid.  That sounds like it can be done remotely.  nuts.

They keep stressing "on older ps/2 keyboards" though which makes me wonder if 
its as practical for newer hardware.  Newer cell phones emit more radiation 
then older ones,  wonder if its the opposite for computer hardware?I still 
think using lasers is probably the most practical,  and for that you have to 
have line of sight.   Even for accurate wireless data they are around 60 feet 
away.

But I guess to sum  it up,  if the government assassin is after you...  DON"T

Yes if you have some programs and data open to continue working on them.

Otherwise if rather just shutting down the vms,   There is a script someone 
made in the community to shut down all vms with one command.  Its on forums 
somewhere.

TY again for your posts!  Sounds like someone has to be in the same room.   I 
did hear about this on Steve Gibsons podcast a while ago from some college kids 
research who did it successfully.  but guess I didn't think of it as something 
practical.

"The researchers found a way to sniff USB keyboards, but older PS/2 keyboards, 
which have ground wires that connect right into the electric grid, were the 
best."

And so they can still sniff usb keyboards apparently.  And contrary to what Tai 
believes,  it also works on laptops...

Still think its not something to worry about unless in a public setting, and 
even still probaby very uncommon.

Then again,  the government agent can break into your home and place a device.  
But I always say in that case,  you have way more other problems to worry 
about,   and they have more practical devices to put in your home.  At that 
point they might as well use a camera and just watch your keystrokes.

[qubes-users] Frequent 3.2 crashes , How to troubleshoot?

2018-01-05 Thread yrebstv

Hello,  I've had a stable system for >6 months, but in the last month,
I'd say I've had 4-6 total crashes, where the machine reboots itself ,
then maybe 2-4  crashes where  the system doesn't reboot, but closes all
VMs and asks me to re-login . 

The last machine reboot was after initiating a Fedora-25 update ; I have
16GB of RAM, but am always up against the max RAM  allowed , and have to
close VMs to open others etc 
Is there a particular log item I can post  or  look for  to explain or 
maybe fix this?   Or maybe  it will just fix itself  eventually ?   Kind
of annoying to have to  re-open and set up  my VMs over and over  more
than I already do .

Ah, that hint was enough, I didn't expect NAT, thanks!

Re: [qubes-users] Netowork Manager not running (minimal VM)

Yo everyone,

For future reference, problem solved. The packages
qubes-core-agent-nautilus
qubes-core-agent-networking
qubes-core-agent-network-manager
qubes-core-agent-passwordless-root
qubes-core-agent-dom0-updates
qubes-input-proxy-sender
qubes-usb-proxy
Are not included by default in the minimal template vm. The first one gives you
the cute (send here/move there/open in dispVM) stuff in Nautilus.
The next two are (I suppose) to make networking not a pain in the bum.
The fourth one should do what is done in https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vm-sudo/
for you.
The fifth one is needed if you are setting up a template you'll use as the
underlying one for the vm that takes care of updating dom0.
The last two are to set up a template for sys-usb.

All this information was somewhere between here and the github issues page, but
it should really (REALLY) be listed in
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/fedora-minimal/ since nearly always one
will end up needing at least one of the packages listed above.
At the moment setting up a template based on a minimal fedora distribution
looks like a treasure hunt, and I am pretty sure it would save people a lot of
energy and time to have this stuff added to the fedora-minimal reference page.

Cheers,
Fab

Hi Tom,

You don't say which Qubes version you're using, or how the sys-vpn is
configured. 
Look at the nat table in the upstream netvm.
You'll see that sys-net NATs these requests to the NS used by sys-net.

You should be able to change name servers in a qube using bind-dirs on
/etc/resolv.conf. Or, (somewhat better since it allows you to switch
qubes in and out of vpn), just change the NAT rules on sys-vpn to
capture DNS traffic and send it down the tunnel.

[qubes-users] dns in qubes

2018-01-05 Thread 'Tom Zander' via qubes-users

I'm trying to figure out how this works, and I am stuck.

In every qube (except sys-net) there is  a resolv.conf that points to two 
name servers.
10.139.1.1 and .2

This raises two questions;

* how does sys-net handle these requests on this odd address. No 'ip ad' 
network seems to listen on this address.

* how can I change this in indidivual qubes in the correct matter.
I have some qubes routing through sys-vpn and I adjusted the vpn VM to find 
the DNS, but users of the vpn can't find any DNS service now.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you for the write-up. Had been planning on upgrading my primary
workstation to 4.0 once it was out of RC status but in light of recent
events, might do that this weekend!

[qubes-users] Q4: Enabling updates for templates restored from Qubes 3

2018-01-05 Thread kototamo

I just spent a good time getting my backuped templates from Qubes 3 to work in 
Qubes 4 RC3. I'm posting here what I did (roughly) to get it work, in the hope 
it can help somebody.

After running qvm-backup-restore, starts a terminal for your VM:

$ qvm-run mytemplate gnome-terminal

In the VM, 

- Rename /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r3.list to 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/qubes-r4.list
   
- Replace mention of "3.2" to "4.0" qubes-r4.list

Now we will import the new GPG keys used to sign the packages.

- Start one of the official template:

 $ qvm-run debian-8 gnome-terminal

In the debian-8 VM:

$ apt-ket exportall > /tmp/keys.txt
$ qvm-copy-to-vm /tmp/keys.txt

Choose "mytemplate" as destination.

In the mytemplate VM:

$ apt-key import ~/QubesIncoming/debian-8/keys.txt

Now enable networking in the mytemplate settings by specifying sys-net as a 
network VM.

Updates the packages:

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get upgrade

When prompted, choose to use the qubes-r4.list from the maintainer (or merge 
manually).

Disable network in the mytemplate VM.
Restart.

Now the proxy updates should work again.

Good luck.

Re: [qubes-users] Netowork Manager not running (minimal VM)

Exciting news: I didn't know that polkit was a package, so even if I followed ( 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vm-sudo/ ) in detail, nothing worked.

Giving sudo dnf install polkit in the minimal template vm solves the 
authorization problems, both for sys-usb and sys-net.

Now I am able to use the minimal template as the underlying one for sys-usb, 
but I still have problems with sys-net.

sys-net keeps telling me that NetworkManager is not running. If I open up a 
terminal and give sudo NetworkManager then i can see the networks clicking on 
the wifi tray icon, but I can't connect. If I click on a network nothing 
happens (no error displayed, of any kind. Just nothing). 

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Fab
