Re: [qubes-users] is dom0 based on Fedora 25?

Btw, my next hardware purchase was specifically to run Linux with minimal fuss (Linux will run on just about anything if you invest the time to learn and iterate on fussing with it). I didn’t want to do that (been there, done that, too damned old to waste time) I wanted something that was as

I can’t think of anything that one would want to run in dom0 that needs Nvidia. In general, the only software that should be run from dom0 is to manage the system. If you find yourself typing something on a dom0 window that isn’t straight out of the Qubes docs. Stop and think and be sure that what

Strange but I just noticed default-mgmt-dvm for the first time? After noticing this I noticed that one of my less trusted templates was being used as the template for default-mgmt-dvm. In this less trusted template I had browser add-ons, libre office, print drivers in addition to other less

Additional note which might be important: The sys-net VM which is based on the fedora-29 template I have built can connect to the internet (I tried ping and also using the CLI-browser w3m). The sys-firewall VM is unable to connect to the internet, when using sys-net as Net-VM. If I choose my

I've written a qrexec script which, among other things, attempts to place something into the clipboard, using `xsel`. xsel fails, with error: "xsel: Conversion refused" Attempting to troubleshoot, I've learned that `xsel -o` can show the contents of the clipboard, but `xsel` fails to set the

Poor gaming performance in a VM is a myth. This may have been true several years ago however it is no longer true with KVM. XEN needs to step up their game. Here are two videos that will show you what I am referring too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvcxPufSRNo
