Re: [qubes-users] Fixing a VM's botched grub install

2019-10-19 Thread Jin-oh Kang
Thanks for your contribution!

That said, I think I might have caused some misunderstandings here. The
reason I used asciinema.org was just to animate what the console output
originally was, and the service by itself doesn't have the ability to
automatically substitute escape sequences or whatsoever. What I actually
did was just substitute all dots followed by '[', ']', '(' or ')' to the
ASCII ESC (0x1b, ' ') character, a method that could have false positives.
Since the patch I mentioned also adds the '-r' flag which reverts its
escape filtering feature, you can try it out with `xl console -r ` (although highly not recommended).

I'll submit the correction PR when I get to have some free time for it. I
apologize for not having made this clear. Meanwhile if you'd like to do it
instead -- since you're also the author of the article -- then I'd
appreciate it ;)

[qubes-users] Upgrading from R3.2 - R4.0.1 or 4.0.2-rc1?

2019-10-19 Thread Gaijin
I have a worstation on R3.2 and was holding out on an update to R4.x. I
was hoping that R4.0.2 would have been finalized by now, but news on
that has been pretty scarce since the July 10 announcement of RC1. I
can't afford a lot of time to troubleshoot an upgrade on this particular
machine.

If I were to upgrade, is it safer to proceed with R4.0.1 and then to
manually upgrade the VMs, or is 4.0.2-RC1 stable enough?

Since the project explicitly doesn't trust the infrastructure, can you
explain what advantages these might bring?

Otherwise, read the FAQ - https://www.qubes-os.org/faq/

Re: [qubes-users] Anyone tried Qubes on HP Paviliion x360 14cd

2019-10-19 Thread Anil Eklavya
I tried again and it did get installed. I have just installed it and so far 
it’s working fine.

There was probably a mistake in the dd command.

Right now I am using the stable version, as this model or anything similar was 
not listed in the HCL list. I have separate sys-usb and sys-net.

It would have been good if Coreboot or Heads Linux was available for this model.

Can you point me to directions to change the whole disk passphrase. I had done 
it earlier, but I seem to have forgotten the exact way. Mainly, I am not sure 
whether I have to use cryptsetup on the disk device or the boot partition 
device. I have not played around with command line encryption much.

Regards,

Anil

Forgot to mention, /usr/lib/firefox-esr/distribution/policies.json may or may 
not be a Debian specific location.

That should work. Is the integrated video disabled/non-existent? Also,
see the appropriate sections in the UEFI troubleshooting document
depending on if it is hanging prior to the installer ever appearing or
if it is after you've installed and rebooted for the first time.
