[qubes-users] Re: HCL - intel NUC10i7FNK

2021-01-20 Thread Stephan Hagen
Ok, I just found small solution for stable display without artifacts and 
blackouts. But I think hardware rendering is still of. May be I´ll get a 
hint here.
For making it stable I found following solution:

Many thanks Unman, I tried to start cups using Qubes manager GUI and now
even the VM works and this survives reboot. No way I could have thought it

Well I suspect that cups is running in my template Debian 10. In fact if I
digit  system-config-printer it starts the printer GUI without errors.

[qubes-users] Re: HCL - intel NUC10i7FNK

2021-01-20 Thread Stephan Hagen
Hello all,

I got it running on Intel NUC10FNH and use already latest kernel and 
network is up and find.
Can you give me a hint what you want to tell with 
" - check GPU driver provides a better resolution (>= full HD display), "

I have already 4k resolution but only software rendering.
My xorg.0.log told me:   AIGLX error: Calling driver entry point failed. 
...reverting to software rendering."
I can not find what I have to change. Graphics is lousy. 
In my EFI - Boot settings at xen.cfg   is already (without my changes)  
 options   "iommo=no-igfx" and kernel "i915.alpha_support=1"  like described

May be somebody can help me to fix my graphic.

Thank you
Stephan

[qubes-users] Problems setting /etc/hosts

2021-01-20 Thread mgla...@gmail.com
Hi,

Hopefully I'm doing something silly here.

I want to add a couple of entries into my /etc/hosts file in a specific VM. 
The instructions here are nice and 
clear: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/config-files/ except... that doesn't 
work.

I've added the following to my /rw/config/rc.local :
echo '127.0.0.1 example.com' >> /etc/hosts
And after a VM restart my /etc/hosts is unchanged.

Also, as an aside, is it odd that rc.local is owned by root, if it's 
something that's expected to be changed per-VM?

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Might have to add "sudo" in front of that echo. Also, double-check that 
rc.local is set as executable and in proper script format. Does it work 
if you run it yourself from the command line?



Also, as an aside, is it odd that rc.local is owned by root, if it's

No, because it's only the root account that belongs to the VM.

I do this with a (fairly) extensive list , and block dns.
I keep the entries in a file in /rw/config/hosts, and then in rc.local:
cat  /rw/config/hosts >> etc/hosts

Doesn't need sudo for that - and the file should be in proper format and
executable already, (but always worth checking).
Works for me.

Re: [qubes-users] issues with i3, xrandr and keyboard

2021-01-20 Thread Patrik Hagara

On 1/19/21 6:27 PM, 'qtpie' via qubes-users wrote:

Hi,

A few questions about using Qubes with i3. I think the idea behind i3 is
great, but getting everything to work is a bit of a struggle.


I'm using the i3 window manager with Qubes in a multi-monitor setup. The
laptop monitor is 1920x1080, the external monitor is 2560x1440. To
enable the second monitor I do $ xrandr  --output eDP1 --auto --right-of
DP1 --output DP1 --auto.

The issue I keep running in to is that about half of the time, my mouse
will not work on the the external monitor on the rightmost quarter and
lowest quarter (approximately). The pointer will move there, but clicks
are not registered. It is as if the mousedriver sees the second monitor
as 1920x1080 instead of its actual resolution. The status bar is
displayed on both monitors.


Hi,

This can be fixed by increasing the dom0 Qubes GUI video memory [1].

[1] 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/gui-configuration/#video-ram-adjustment-for-high-resolution-displays


Cheers,
Patrik



I have read much of what there is to read on xrandr and tried many
options, like switching monitor postitions, scaling, panning,
positioning, but to to avail, the issue keeps returning. I have tried
comparing the output of $ xrandr -q, but there is no difference between
working and error situations.

- Does anyone have a comparable setup and what xrandr command do you use?
- Is there an alternative to using xrandr under i3?


Also, how do you change your keyboard settings under i3/Fedora/Qubes? I
want to use the us-altgr-intl keymap. Under i3 when I do $ localectl
set-keymap us-altgr-intl in a qube vm terminal, this has no effect in
applications. The right alt key instead remains used to open menu's
(altgr+f for File, altgr+e for Edit, etc.) If I could use altgr-intl and
retain that functionality that would actually be great.

thanks!

[qubes-users] Desktop suggestion

2021-01-20 Thread Franz
 Hello,

A Desktop suggestion with various independent USB controllers, an open
source firmware, at least 32gb RAM and possibly a nerfable microprocessor
to disable ME or equivalent.

No gaming, no hyper speed. Just working well with Qubes.

Well it seems basic requirements, but I doubt it is easy.

Three years ago Taiidan suggested an ASUS KCMA-D8, keeping in mind the
above requirements. See this thread:
https://groups.google.com/g/qubes-users/c/MEMdWdsht5k

But three years passed and possibly even the above board or the processor
changed, or something better had been released. Things change, even Taiidan
disappeared from this email list.
Best
Franz

By default Debian will enable services (and start them) after
installation. This is a problem for templates, which is why there is
specific advice about installing services in to Debian templates.
By contrast Fedora does not automatically start services.

There are many services which can be enabled or disabled in an template
based qube. cups is just one of them.
That said, I'm puzzled as to why cups *is* running in your template - it
doesn't seem to be in my Debian 10.

Many thanks Unman, but why does the template not give the same error?

I understand this kind of problem should be fixed in the template, not in
the VM that depends on the template.

But if the template works, how may I fix something that already works?
