I'm running Qubes 3.2 successfully on a Macbook Pro 10,1 (I just happened to have one of these sitting around, and it's known to be good on the HCL), and I'm actually posting from that machine right now. I opted to blow OS X off of this machine completely as I don't really need it, so Qubes is the only OS currently on the machine. It was a total pain to get wireless up and running, but it works fine as long as I don't reboot (I just have run some modprobe and insmod commands to get things running again). So, no Filevault on this computer. Overall, this machine has been fairly stable. The computer with which I'm having trouble is a 13-inch Macbook Pro 12,1. This machine doesn't support booting in "legacy" mode (BIOS compatibility mode, which is how I installed on my other MBP), so it needs to boot using EFI. This is where I'm running into trouble. I'm also trying to install to an external USB drive, so I'm guessing that's only adding to my woes. I'm also using rEFInd as my initial bootloader. I can get to a branded Qubes grub interface by using "configfile /EFI/qubes/grub.cfg" from the grub command line I get dumped to after selecting grub.efi in rEFInd, but I find it odd that I need to do so. When I select Qubes, I get an error message that says that it can't find the multiboot command. I'm fairly sure that this module needs to be insmod'd in at some point, but I can't figure out where. Or maybe it doesn't, and there's just some hiccup along the way. I've been doing a ton of reading about the EFI boot process and GRUB, but I have no answers yet. If you have any advice, I'm happy to follow it! regards, deadseeds -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] lemur7 Unable to reset PCI device
used a working desktop to install and update to qubes-unstable. this time the
lemur was able to boot, but sys-net could not run. heres an hcl-report followed
by a typescript session showing pci devices and the error. adding pci devices
to sys-net in the qubes-manager gave the same result.

I havent encountered this in a number of upgrades. If you want to use a chroot, then you need to do something like this: Mount the decrypted disk to /mnt $ sudo mount ‐‐bind /dev /mnt/dev $ sudo mount ‐‐bind /proc /mnt/proc $ sudo mount ‐‐bind /sys /mnt/sys Then chroot, and the passwd command should work within the chroot.

I don't use whonix so cant check this but I believe that onionshare relies on access to a tor control port opened with Tor Browser. I think that the whonix design would preclude this. You can try with a normal qube connected to sys-firewall. You can't use the normal qubes torVM because that doesn't have the control port open, but with some minor modifications you can fix this, and then try to run onionshare there.

[qubes-users] Qubes install on EFI MacBook Pro
Starting a new thread, as the previous seems to be mislabeled at this point (Empty Xen.cfg after install). Booting from the install media for Qubes 3.2 works 100%, and so far, I've used the automatic partitioning to do all of the work for me. Anaconda uses a trick for EFI Macs (ie. Macs that can no longer boot into "legacy" BIOS mode) that creates an HFS+ ESP partition, ostensibly to boot the final product. This tricks the Mac into thinking that there is a bootable OS X installation on the partition, allowing the user to use the Mac's internal bootloader(?) by holding down the Option key at startup (this lists all available OSs, for those who don't know). The problem with the Qubes 3.2 config is that it kicks out a boot.efi file in the expected place (again, where the Mac would expect it, trying to fool the Mac into thinking it's a viable OS X install), but the boot.cfg file is nothing more than an alias file. This file links back to /EFI/fedora/grub.cfg, but the grub.cfg file does not exist there; it's in /EFI/qubes. The grub.cfg file certainly seems like the correct boot instruction file, as it correctly points to the Qubes lvm by uuid. However, it also points to a completely different partition on the disk (the HFS+ parition would be hd1,gpt1, but grub.cfg is looking for hd1,gpt2). hd1,gpt2 contains an empty "efi" folder, initrd-plymouth.img, xen-4.6.1.gz (and other files) along with a grub2 folder containing the exact same grub.cfg file. At this point, I'm wondering if there is supposed to be some weird chainloading going on that's not happening, or possibly that the installer is not supposed to make the HFS+ ESP partition, but is doing so because this is the default Anaconda behavior on a Mac. My next step will be to try doing the partitioning by hand in the Qubes installer. I realize this is likely not the fault of the Qubes development team, but the fact that there are nine different .efi files on the HFS+ partition, all in differnt places, is very, very confusing. regards, deadseeds -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] External VM?
Hi all, I have a VM that I use for Calibre to read ebooks, and my library is getting quite large. Rather than putting the books on an external drive and connecting that to my Calibre VM, would it be possible to move the entire VM to an external drive? It doesn't need to be fast. (It's just a bunch of books.) At the moment, I just have all my documents on my HD, which is a bit of a waste of SSD. I'm only going to access these files through this VM, so it would be handy if I could just have them all collected together in one place. I imagine that this feature doesn't exist today, and it may be somewhat complicated because of the integration with dom0. But I figure this ability may be useful to folks who have large VMs for specific tasks that aren't used very often. Is there a better way to approach this? Thanks!

Which tool/syntax will let me do this? there are two ways: 1) (the better way if you can get a working setup) for sound/video you can use streaming software (i did this some time ago). you have a windows vm W and some linux vm N. you set N as netvm for W. then you use some virtual soundcard (i think i used hifi cable) and some streaming software to stream the sound to the linux vm (i can't remember what i used.) on N you receive the stream. since you can hear all audio output of a linux vm, you will hear sound from W. my setup was fiddly and had about 2 sec audio delay. (but i did not really bother to fix it, so you probably can do better) 2) again have some linux vm N as netvm of a windows vm W. then you can use public folders on W and mount the public folder on N. now you can play the video from N. i used both methods for a while (until i completely switched to linux for all my work-flows). in both cases i did not use the windows tools. if you have working windows tools, you should have a qvm-open-in-dispvm command . you could also try this command.

Jeremy: That's all well and good (though without being specific, the criticism doesn't really impress me, unless the unstated assumption is that 'stable' software doesn't get security fixes), but (esp. in the case of Tor) you can just as easily turn that around: precisely because of the constant updating of firefox (tracked by the tor browser), and because features are constantly being added, it's not the most logical choice of browser.
