[qubes-users] Firefox Account SyncVM
Hi Everyone, I'm trying to find a way to sync firefox bookmarks but I do not want to use firefox account. So my question to all of you is: Does anyone knows if there is a possible way to create local account that will be hosted on standalone VM so I could connect all Firefox Apps to connect to that source ans sync bookmarks, plugins, etc. The whole point here is to keep all bookmarks in safe place that same way some people keep their passwords keys etc. Maybe if there is no such a solution someone could start new project? I would do that myself, but currently do not have advanced coding skills :-( Thanks for all replays BR Raf -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

This is especially true if one cannot just write and publish a document, but needs to have it reviewed (and re-reviewed…). I am willing to make that commitment. First let me do some more reading (and finish setting up my Qubes installation — still some odds and ends to do).

[qubes-users] sys-net & sys-firewall fail to start, new install
Hello, I apologize in advance if this has already been addressed but searching for "sys-net" & "libxl" give many confusing results, I don't see any that match both not working, and I'm completely new to Qubes. My problem is that after 2 different installs of the same version, 4.01, I keep getting the same problems: When I get into Qubes I cannot update dom0, and sys-net & sys-firewall both fail to start even though my NIC is correctly listed in devices for -net. Basic info: Dell Optiplex 780, bios= A15 as recommended in HCL. Qubes 4.01, sigs checked good. Install 1 done by USB, created in windows, had same issues as described below. Re-installed by DVD thinking I'd muffed something (think I read on reddit that USB installs made from windows had issues) and the behavior is exactly the same. Behavior observed: (anything in [xxx] is me telling you the variation, as I get this for 2 VM's, 2 error codes, etc.) * Dom0 starts and runs, but -net & -firewall will not. * When I attempt to manually start either, I get this error message: "ERROR: Start failed: internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain 'sys-net' [or sys-firewall], see /var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log for details". When I less the log, I get these errors dozens of time with timestamps ranging from date of install to today: 1: "[date:time]: libxl: libxl_create.c:610:libxl_domain_make:domain creation fail: Operation not supported" 2: "[date:time]: libxl: libxl_create.c:982:initiate_domain_create:cannot make domain: -3" Those errors and nothing else. I've tried to update dom0 by command as found in docs, as well as through GUI without success. I found a page elsewhere that described temporarily putting NIC in firewall or another VM to see if it worked, but I must be doing it wrong as I always get loopback errors when trying to save. It always tells me failed, regardless. No wonder if network isn't working. Under sys-net, I see the correct name and model of my NIC, but I can't seem to figure out how to see if the NIC is operational since sys-net isn't working (new to qubes sorry!), however I verified my router is not showing an IP assigned, though link LED is on. If anyone can help me try to figure this out, I'd really appreciate it. I'm still a bit green on linux but I learn fast, I recently gave up on Windows (I hate 10 so much I could scream) so I'm trying to dive in with qubes (deep end of the pool I think) as it best suits my needs with the VM implementation. I'd post the log itself, but I can't seem to figure out how to make USB copy work yet since I've been beating my head on the networking issue. Thanks, and sorry in advance if this duplicated another thread. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

The biggest danger is that your bookmarks will carry identifying information between qubes, breaking the isolation model. If you plan for this and are aware of the risks then you can adopt anything between storing/syncing whole profiles between one "storage" qube and other qubes, and copy/pasting bookmarks from storage qube in to other firefox qubes as needed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
