Re: [qubes-users] Disk Manager does not start
William Fisher: I just installed qubes 4.0 and the disk manager doesn’t start and show any disk drives. It just shows the settings for the mAnager. I can’t get the manager to start. I try to install or back-up vms and when I try to select a destination I get the error: whoops a Critical error has occurred. This is most likely a bug in Qubes Restore VMs application. Qubes VM Error. Cannot start Dom0 fake domain at line 102 of file base.py Did you update dom0 & templates after installing, and reboot? I am not following where you are running into trouble. Are you trying to backup VMs, or restore them? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] HCL - DELL M6800
Unfortunately this computer has ME in the firmware. Most modern BIOS is A23 I am running the old BIOS A16, but plan to update when I found out how to disable or disturb ME firmware w/o bricking the laptop. I know there is me_cleaner. I have fear to update the bios as it could prevent me from down dating if I need it. ME is vulnerable in A16 BIOS, I use at the moment. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] UnicodeDecodeError during Qubes 4.0 installation
I have a similar problem installing Qubes R4.0 - it fails when loading the graphical installer with an "unknown error". The error is similarily: "UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can not decode byte 0xc0 in position 3: invalid start byte". Looking through the stack trace reveals that the problem is related to the file system (not hardware naming): "... line 67, in ensure_unicode_string value = value.decode(sys.getfilesystemencoding())". This is used in the blivet osinstall populator, I haven't read through this package yet though to figure out its purpose in detail. I have been forced to use the nouveau.modeset = 0 flag to get the installer running to this stage, otherwise it stops before starting the graphical installer. I have also tried the text installer but it stops with the same error: https://imagebin.ca/v/4LROpDUqDhVz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Cannot boot new HVM from cdrom. What is the new command?
Previously when creating a new Windows HVM on Qubes 3.2, to boot from a physical CD in the physical CD drive I would do: qvm-start --cdrom=/dev/cdrom win7 When I try that in Qubes 4.0, I get an error that starts with "Traceback" and ends with "Not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)."
