Application similar to google authenticator?

Whonix's sdwdate might not be accurate enough for it.

Can you use that tool offline? Doing such code generation you're much
better off doing this in a non-Whonix offline (vault) VM.

I am wanting to purchase a Panasonic Toughbook either CF-20 or CF-33 model, and 
I want to run Qubes on it. I am assuming that the USB container will not work 
well, but I am wondering if anyone has information on the operation of the

Any information on Toughbook compatibility is welcome.

[qubes-users] MSI-x support in domU

2018-08-07 Thread permezel
I have a Mellanox 10G adapter in my Qubes box.
When I spin up a domU with the device passed-thru, I am unable to load the 
device driver due to what appears to be a lack of support for MSI-x interrupt 
mapping.

There was some chatter a while back regarding MSI support:

https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.qubes-os.org%2Fnews%2F2017%2F10%2F18%2Fmsi-support%2F=D=1=AFQjCNGXTUp6QSX9Fb0v5Q6hyVc0i6NwfQ

One might hope that this would enable MSI-x support as well, but apparently, 
not.  My guess is that someone added a kluge to permit writing to the MSI 
enable regions in PCI config space for a device, neglecting to add the kluges 
for MSI-x as well.

I find that I need to flag the mellanox as 'permissive' or else I get errors 
flagged on the dom0 console log regarding attempts to write to PCI config 
space.  Once I do so, I am still unable to load the device driver for the 
ConnectX 4-LX device (mlx5_core).  It fails when it attempts to allocate the 
set of MSIX vectors sized based on the # of CPUs online.

The driver assumes MSIx are available.  No fall-back to MSI.  No fall-back to 
INT A/ INT B.

Are there some other magic knobs I need to tweak?


MSIx and Xen does raise some interesting issues.  I would like to have to 
option of spinning up a domU with, say, 20 VCPU and, knowing that the Mellanox 
will assign queues to MSIx and I can assign MSIx to CPUs, I would like to have 
dom0 bind the vCPU to real CPU so that the interrupt mapping works correctly.  
This would be for some network performance work I have to do occasionally.

I am also keen to enable the VF devices in the adapter (using  some domU 
instance to enable) so that these VF instances can be passed to other domU 
instances.   Also want to see if I can get hardware offload working and OVS 
working in qubes.  Just for fun.

Q: if a domU kernel enables VF devices in a mapped PF device instance, will the 
dom0 kernel discover the VF devices?  IE: what is the mechanism whereby a 
kernel discovers the need for a bus-walk?
This has to work correctly for Xen, no?

[qubes-users] Re: ANN: Testing new VPN code for Qubes

2018-08-07 Thread smcmj
Just got this going, awesome Tasket. Thank you again Qubes team for what you 
do! 

Works like a charm...the only feedback is the newly updated "Qubes Manager" is 
sometimes "buggy" with the VPNApVM. I don't believe it impacts performance.

Some notes:
-Qubes 4.0
-Worked in Fedora28 and Debian9 template/Proxy VM
-Changed the DNS to use Quad9 and it worked
-Using PIA, utilizing the OpenVPN-IP files (haven't tried the other PIA configs 
from their site)
- I needed to install Nautilus and OpenVPN for Debian9 (using my instructions 
below)

I really struggled setting this up, but below are the steps/notes I followed in 
combination with the instructions on Github, the order to set this up does 
matter...hope this helps others out(open to feedback):

Instructions for the "terminal" challenged:

Using qTunnel: https://github.com/tasket/qubes-tunnel

In a Template do this:
For Debian proxy, add OpenVPN package to your VPN template(Fedora already has 
OpenVPN included):
su
apt-get install openvpn

Download and transfer file to VPN template: 
https://github.com/tasket/qubes-tunnel.git

cd “Then drag downloaded, unzipped file into terminal from tasket”
sudo bash ./install

sudo mkdir /rw/config/qtunnel

Close Template.

Create a proxy VM:
Create proxy AppVM using VPN template: sys-VPN
Colour: Green
Provides Network  Checked
connect to sys-net (or firewall)
Launch settings  - Checked

Settings:
Add “Files” and “Terminal” to “Applications” in ProxyVM
Add “qubes-tunnel-openvpn” to services, hit the +

Optional - Change config DNS(Quad9 DNS), by adding the text below to the VPN 
config file, then hit save:
setenv tunnel_dns '9.9.9.9 149.112.112.112’'

In terminal move VPN config files to new proxy AppVM:
sudo mv “Then highlight the VPN folder and drag to terminal” /rw/config/qtunnel

cd /rw/config/qtunnel
sudo ln -s xx.ovpn qtunnel.conf
(xx is the VPN client config)

sudo /usr/lib/qubes/qtunnel-setup --config
Enter VPN name and password

exit

Restart AppVM...look for “Links is up” pop-up

That's normal. (see https://www.qubes-os.org/faq/#why-is-dom0-so-old)

Those are EOL, you should upgrade to Fedora 28

> 
> It means, that I must hear sound already in Dom0 and any other VM's?

In theory, yes, but given that you're using an older f26 template, I
can't say if there are/were problems with pulseaudio like with f28 now.

In dom0, open pulseaudio volume control (in the settings menu), you
should see the VMs where you have pulseaudio running.

In one of the VMs, say 'untrusted', play something ; in the volume
control you should see the volume monitor/level moving for that VM.

- if you don't, something's not OK with pulseaudio between the VM and
dom0 (sorry, can't help to debug further)

- if you do, then your soundcard is likely muted for some reason. Check
for instance the levels in the volume control's "Output devices" tab. It
could also be that the sound driver for your soundcard is buggy, or that
your headphone jack has something stuck in it, which automatically stops
audio to the speaker (this happened to me after my kids played with my
laptop).

Thank you for your help.

Actually when I am update Dom0 I see version 25 of Fedora.

But in Templates I see 26 version of Fedora.

It means, that I must hear sound already in Dom0 and any other VM's?

You don't have to attach any device to an AppVm in order to get sound
(but you need to attach the microphone if you want to record).

That said there was problem with fedora-28 and pulseaudio, there are
quite a few recent posts on the mailing list about that. The updated
package/fix is in the current-testing repository and should be pushed to
current soon.

[qubes-users] Whonix 14 has been Released

2018-08-07 Thread Patrick Schleizer
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

After more than two years of development, the Whonix Project is proud
to announce the release of Whonix 14.

Whonix 14 is based on the Debian stretch (Debian 9) distribution which
was released in June 2017. This means users have access to many new
software packages in concert with existing packages such as a modern
branch of GNuPG, and more. [1][2][3]

**Major Changes and New Features**

Whonix 14 contains extensive security and usability improvements, new
features and bug fixes. For a detailed description of these and other
changes, please refer to the official release notes. [4]

* Rebased Whonix on **Debian stretch** (Debian 9).
* Whonix 14 is **64-bit** (amd64) only - 32-bit (i386) images will no
longer be built and made available for download. [5]
* The new **Anon Connection Wizard** [6] feature in Whonix simplifies
connections to the Tor network via a Tor bridge and/or a proxy.
* The Tor pluggable transport **meek_lite** [7] is now supported,
making it much easier to connect to the Tor network in heavily
censored areas, like China. [8]
* **Onioncircuits** are installed by default in Whonix. [9]
* Tails' **onion-grater** program has been implemented to enable
**OnionShare, Ricochet and Zeronet** compatibility with Whonix. [10]
* **Onion sources** are now preferred for Whonix updates/upgrades for
greater security.
* Reduced the size of the default, binary Whonix images by
approximately **35 per cent** using zerofree. [11] [12]
* **Updated Tor** to version 3.3.7 (stable) release to enable full v3
onion functionality for both hosting of onion services and access to
v3 onion addresses in Tor Browser.
* Created the **grub-live package** [13] which can run Whonix as a
**live system** on non-Qubes-Whonix platforms. [14]
* Corrected and hardened various **AppArmor profiles** to ensure the
correct functioning of Tor Browser, obfsproxy and other applications.


**Known Issues**

* Desktop shortcuts are no longer available in non-Qubes-Whonix.
* OnionShare is not installed by default in Whonix 14 as it is not in
the stretch repository. [15] It can still be manually installed by
following the Whonix wiki instructions [16] or building it from source
code. [17]
* Enabling seccomp (Sandbox 1) in /usr/local/etc/torrc.d/50_user.conf
causes the Tor process to crash if a Tor version lower than 0.3.3 is
used. [18] [19]


While there may be other issues that exist in this declared stable
release, every effort has been made to address major known problems.

Please report any other issues to us in the forums, after first
searching for whether it is already known.

  https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Known_Issues

**Download Whonix 14**

Whonix is cross-platform and can be installed on the Windows, macOS,
Linux or Qubes operating systems. Choose your operating system from
the link below and follow the instructions to install it.

  https://www.whonix.org/download/

**Upgrade to Whonix 14**

Current Whonix users (or those with 32-bit hardware) who would prefer
to upgrade their existing Whonix 13 platform should follow the upgrade
instructions below.

  https://whonix.org/wiki/Upgrading_Whonix_13_to_Whonix_14

**What’s Next?**

Work on Whonix 15 is ongoing and interested users can refer to the
roadmap to see where Whonix is heading. [20]

Developer priorities are currently focused on easing the transition to
the next Debian release due in 2019 (“buster”; Debian 10) and
squashing existing bugs, rather than implementing new features.

We need your help and there are various ways to contribute to Whonix -
donating or investing your time will help the project immensely. Come
and talk with us! [21]

Many thanks, so, following this link, the command

sudo qubesctl state.sls qvm.anon-whonix

 should download Whonix 14, correct?

But the same link tells that this would download templates whonix-gw and
whonix-ws. But these are the same names of the old templates. So am I
expected to rename the old templates before calling the above command?

Yassine

I have a Dell Precision 5520 like yours except mine has the Xeon E3-1505M v6 
processor, so I think your solution should work on my Dell. I have not been 
able to get it to work.

Problem : Qubes 4.0 Installer hangs at anaconda screen.

I made the install USB using Rufus 3.1 in dd mode. I have tried and tried to 
edit the BOOTX64.cfg on the USB install drive but it is write protected and I 
have not been able to writew changes using several different approaches.
I booted UEFI,  The results of the install:

message :  "Not asking for VNC because we don't have a network"
message :  "44.288997 watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#5 stuck fot 23s! 
[Xorg:1383]

I then made a ISO mode install USB using Rufus and edited the BOOTX64.cfg as 
follows:

[global]
default=qubes-verbose

[qubes-check]
options=console=none
kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R4.0-x86_64 i915.alpha_support=1 
quiet rhgb rd.live.check
ramdisk=initrd.img

[qubes]
options=console=none
kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R4.0-x86_64 i915.alpha_support=1 
quiet rhgb
ramdisk=initrd.img

[qubes-verbose]
options=console=vga efi=attr=uc 
# noexitboot=1
# mapbs=1
kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R4.0-x86_64 i915.alpha_support=1
ramdisk=initrd.img

[qubes-rescue]
options=loglvl=all
kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes-R4.0-x86_64 rescue
ramdisk=initrd.img

I booted the ISO USB Legacy, At Blue Qubes screen, Trouble Shooting, TAB, added 
nouveau.modeset=0
The results of the install:

message :  "Not asking for VNC because we don't have a network"
message :  "X starting failed, aborting installation"
message :  "The installation cannot continue the system will be rebooted   
Press ENTER to continue"

Yassine,

I have searched high and low on the internet and your 5520 / Qubes sucess is 
rare. There is very little discussion of this specific combination.

If you could Please give me some guidance and edit my BOOTX64 above to match 
yours verbatim, I can try that.

Anyone else reading this post that may have suggestions, please add to the 
discussion

Thank you so much
