Re: [qubes-users] issues with i3, xrandr and keyboard
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! qtpie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

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

[qubes-users] Desktop suggestion
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 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

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.

[qubes-users] Problems setting /etc/hosts
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?
