Re: [qubes-users] UEFI boot problem
Thanks for the hint. The commands I used to restore the entry were efibootmgr -v -c -u -L Qubes -l /EFI/qubes/xen.efi -d /dev/sda1 -p 1 efibootmgr -o 0,1 Now I can boot Qubes using the UEFI boot manager again.

Since the T470p is now supported by the Linux Firmware Vendor Service I did the last BIOS update from Archlinux using fwupdmgr. Everything went smoothly.

Re: [qubes-users] Additional USB controllers for a laptop expresscard to PCI-slots
Franz: What do you think, will something like this be able to add more usb controllers to a laptop? https://www.integrate-computer.de/Exsys-EX-1015-ExpressCard-Bus-to-4-x-PCI-Slot-compact-Expansion-Box This is reported to be linux compatible. The idea is to add a USB keyboard to a laptop using a PCI USB controller, perhaps using another slot for an audio card or whatever. Having a separate keyboard will also allow to add an external monitor, making home use more comfortable for eye strain now that e-ink monitors are getting available. But may Qubes architecture be able to assign these additional cards to specific VMs even if they are connected by an Expresscard? If that adapter registers as a PCIe-PCI bridge and the PCI cards as endpoints, it might work. Might depend on your laptop hardware and firmware too. Probably only way to know is to try it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Yeah, that's the downside of dispVMs. My workflow for updating my profile is: 1- every now and then I start a dedicated appVM where my "master" firefox profile/folder lives, in order to update addons, tweak prefs, ... 2- I then copy the folder to the dispVM's *dvm* template (not the dvm template's template). I assume you're on R4.0 - IIRC for R3.2 you'd have to update the template itself. It seems to be pretty much what you did though. It doesn't take too much time but then I update my profile every month or so - maybe your addons require more frequent updates. You could try to automatize the process with a script in dom0 that would start the VMs, `qvm-run` commands, copy files, ... Another way would be to skip updating the dvm template (step 2 above) and instead copy the updated profile to one of your VMs that is always started (or to dom0, provided you don't open/read any of these files). You could then write a qubes extension [1] that automatically sync the dispVM profile with the "master" one when a dispVM starts.

Because I'm certain that the only thing I'm copying is the .mozilla folder. Now, if I start the dvm template itself it's difficult to know if something else has changed when things are being updated. Also, the dedicated appVM can be firewalled to allow only mozilla/addons sites. You could do the same with the dvm template but that would involve tweaking the firewall each time you update the VM and revert it to its original settings afterwards. If the points above are not a concern, using the appVM template is indeed more straightforward. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Updates to all recommends Vms on Qubes 4.0
Black Beard: Hey Community, I'm an absolute novice regarding Linux, especially Qubes. I have already understood many things very well and I really like the OS. Now I would like to update some virtual machines, including Fedora26, Whonix etc because they are outdated. I have already read and followed the instructions for updating Fedora 26 to 27 and 27 to 28. Unfortunately, I always get an error message when updating (I do not have it in my head because I'm at work). According to a forum, I should change the identity at Tor to successfully install the upgrade. My system tells me that no gate has been installed ??! At Whonix I get an error message from 13 to 14 to update. How can I update Fedora and all other Vms? Of course I am very happy about your feedbacks. regards and many thx to all of you I find it easiest to install the new version of the template instead of upgrading. For Fedora 28 that would be "sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-28", then change your AppVMs and qubes-prefs to point to it instead of fedora 26. You can do the same with Whonix 14, check the instructions on their website. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] How to correctly install AMD graphic driver on Qubes?
entiosis via qubes-users: Thank you for your reply. So much to learn in this new environment That certainly is a nice thing. Can I understand it as Qubes having a pre-baked driver that covers AMD Radeon cards? that the graphic card is ready to be used at full capacity if/when needed? Right. Technically, Qubes is using Fedora in dom0, so it's using the video driver that comes with Fedora's Linux kernel. It can be used in a full capacity as much as Qubes needs of it which is 2D acceleration. Usually when installing a new OS (any OS) one also has to install drivers, graphic driver to get the full benefits of its devices, I brought that way of thinking along with me to Qubes. I’m happy if that is not the case here. I also had some lagging when watching 720p video files, I attributed that to lack of proper graphic driver. Haven’t had the chance to test more yet. There was an old bug that limited playback to 24fps, but shouldn't be the case any more. A side question: How does the Virtual Machines make use of the graphic card? I read that for heavy works like large photo editing or video editing, gaming, its preferable to add a second card and dedicate it to that particular VM where the work takes place. IIUC, VMs draw to an X Windows buffer that dom0 takes and converts to graphics driver calls that actually paint the screen. There is some overhead with this, but Qubes tries to isolate hardware from software for security. It works fine for most day to day use like watching videos etc., but that's why the dedicated card for heavy/3D usage. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] How to correctly install AMD graphic driver on Qubes?
entiosis via qubes-users: Is there a guide (step by step, the more detailed the better) similar to the Nvidia driver installation guide found in Qubes user documentation for AMD graphic driver installation? I was not able find any helpful threads on Qubes reddit, Qubes users google group, nor in Qubes documentation. Is there someone who could help me with tips and info (easy, specific, understandable to a newbie) on how to go about installing AMD GPU driver? For the sake of argument, I choose to trust AMD’s driver to be safe in order to make use of the GPU. The driver should be installed in dom0 (Nvidia guide explains), I attempted at downloading the AMD driver tar.xz file and move it from my VM to dom0 (with the idea of unpacking and do normal install by following the guide on AMD homepage) with the command described in Qubes documentation; “Copy from (and to) dom0”. Here I face the first problem; how to get the syntax correctly? I’m unsuccessful in doing so. What am I doing wrong with the syntax and what other considerations/approaches/preparations should I make in order to get the file to dom0? If at all this is the right way to do it. Example: dom0 username: Iceland, VM name: personal [Iceland@dom0 ~] $ qvm-run --pass-io personal ‘cat /home/user/Documents/amdgpu-pro-18.30-641594.tar.xz’ > /home/Iceland/amdgpu-pro-18.30-641594.tar.xz System OS: Qubes R4.0, Processor Ryzen 7 1700x, GPU Asus Radeon RX 580 I’m stuck, lost and in need of help. I really want to use - and learn how to use - Qubes on my desktop computer. I’m determined to make Qubes my home. Please help me fly :-) The nice thing about AMD Radeons is that you shouldn't have to do anything special to use them- just install Qubes. That's why there's no special documentation.
