Re: [qubes-users] Re: Recommended laptop?

Thanks for putting all this information in one place. I was earlier looking to buy Insurgio Privacy Beast, but it was not clear whether it could be shipped to India. I then ordered Librem 13. Is there any comparison available between these two, based on privacy and security considerations?

[qubes-users] Installation fails in many different ways

I have found problems with touchpad during installs of Qubes on various laptops and when installing R 4.0, R 4.0.1 and R 4.0.2rc3. I will be posting soon my guess about why this happens. But the first thing to say is I don't think this is hardware specific so please don't regret buying that

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Recommended laptop?

Hello Thierry, Thanks for all that you are doing for the community. Do you see a possibility of a Qubes Certified Laptop with an AMD CPU? Intel is affected a lot more than AMD by the sidechannel vulnerabilities in the last years. The Privacy Beast has a 3rd gen Intel CPU, Intel stopped

Re: [qubes-users] occasional hangs that stop trackpad and keyboard entry

I had problems with the trackpad on the install of R 4.0 over a year ago, and occasional trackpad hangs when Dom0 was busy. My guess at the time was that this was due to running Qubes on only 4gb ram. So, still on an Asus 360 but now with 8gb ram, I was shocked to find that there were still

[qubes-users] Debian standalonevm always enters emergency mode

Happy new year to everyone! I'm taking advantage of holydays to try to fix an issue that has been bothering me for a while now. I have a debian based standalonevm which recently started presented this issue after running out of space. The issue is that the vm never starts on it own. In order

[qubes-users] Re: Installation fails in many different ways

Thanks for sharing, trueriver, I finally got past the introductory boss of Qubes--now I get to roam the sandbox world. It wasn't so much an issue with the trackpad as it was the Nvidia GPU that can't be disabled. Since you seem to be a dev who's interested in Qubes' compatibility with this

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Recommended laptop?

Thanks Thierry, Thanks for the detailed explanation and thanks for the work you have chosen to do. Thanks even more for upstreaming as much as you already have so that others can benefit too. I want too add a couple of points that I hope are supportative, but let me start with an analogy.

[qubes-users] HCL - HP Elitebook 8460p

Now running 4.0.2-rc3, everything works. Have also run 4.0.1, 4.0, 3.2 and 3.1 fine. The only thing that doesn't work is S3 sleep in combination with Anti Evil Maid(problems started with 4.0) If S3 sleep is engaged, laptop will do a hard shutdown. When booting without AEM, S3 sleep works fine.
