[qubes-users] getting win7 VM working licenses etc

[yreb-qusw]

forgive me , if this seems off topic.  but, somehow I need to have a 
working version of windows that doesn't require me to reboot preferably. 
And i've been looking around, for this answer , but maybe someone else 
here might know:


I have a windows 7 license that came preinstalled on an old desktop, I 
then used that license on a laptop reinstall,  for win7,  I then 
upgraded and have been using win10  on the laptop,  is the original 
win7 license likely now invalid?  as it was upgraded to win10  which 
uses a different system?


Because I guess I need win7  to use in a Qubes  VM ;   and further,  the 
win10  is still installed on the 1st partitions of the laptop, though I 
am at a loss how to boot it,   as you can see in my other post.


If I can't dual boot the win10  with Qubes on this  InsydeH20 Bios   , I 
may have to go reinstall win10  and not use Qubes on the laptop , hmmm

[qubes-users] Laptop Dual Win10 boot problem

[yreb-qusw]

Hello, so I have win10  on the 1st 2 partitions of my SSD, and install 
Qubes 3.2 onto the empty partition/s  after the win10 installation.


However, looking in my InsydeH20 BIOS, I am given no option to select a 
win10 vs. Qubes boot.  Only "notebook HD", "USB" etc.


Perhaps my mistake for thinking the laptop BIOS might function the way 
the ASrock BIOS, does, which does give me a choice.


So, Now the "notebook" option just boots Qubes,Can I still boot 
Win10 on the other , 1st, partitions?


if so, how ?

thx

If you have the the type of job that allows you to purchase a server
that costs as much as a nice used car you probably know how to compile a
distro or pay someone to do so so there isn"t anything stopping you from
compiling it for POWER, but yes I also can"t understand the rabid x86

You could also compile it for ARM and get a performance server board or

I suppose that with the word "attached" you mean what in  Qubes definitions
is called "assigned".

In this case can tell that when I tried to assign two different USB
controllers to two different VMs, dom0 refused to do that claiming that the
controllers were sharing some resources and so there was a security risk.
So, if in  your case you were allowed to do that, then your controllers
should be really separated and that may be encouraging.

[qubes-users] Booting with dom0 exposed to usb controllers.

[Alan Got]

Hi,
I'm using usb mouse and keyboard attached to InputVM (usb controler 1). Another usb controller (2) is attached to UntrustedVM. When I need to restart computer I'm disconnecting physically all usb devices attached to controller (2). It is possible that controller (2) would compromise Qubes at boot time?
My mainboard don't have any PS/2 ports and my processor don't support TXT (to use AEM), it only support IOMMU.

I understand compiling for another arch is not difficult, but are there not any 
special requirements from Qubes/Xen which are ISA based?

I found some clues in the qubes-gui-daemon source:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-gui-daemon/blob/ad966ddd5d57b30a47651471a1cbdbe7ac8231fa/gui-daemon/xside.c#L2957

However, I'm having problems using Mod4 as a key identifier here.

Anybody else having success with this?

[qubes-users] Keyboard shortcuts in /etc/qubes/guid.conf

[Noor Christensen]

Hi,

I was about to change the key sequences gobally used for VM clipboard
managament and found /etc/qubes/guid.conf to be the correct place.

Then I got curious, what subsystem is Qubes using for the keyboard
bindings? I need to figure out what the Mod4/Meta/Windows key is called
in this particular context.

I took a peek at the libconfig manual[0] as mentioned in the "Getting
started" docs[1] but it does not mention anything specific about
keyboard or input control, so I guess those values are parsed by some
other entity actually handling the key bindings.
