[qubes-users] Did Qubes actually brick my PC?

2020-06-01 Thread chindokae

I installed the most recent Qubes 4 two days ago.  After trying it out and 
getting some things working, I decided it wasn't for me and tried to revert 
to Ubuntu and Gnome Boxes.  

When I tried to reinstall I could not boot Ubuntu (or any of several other 
distributions of Linux) due to fatal ACPI errors.  The only way I can boot 
to Linux now is setting acpi=off in grub.  

Now, even if I do manage to boot and attempt an Ubuntu installation it dies 
with a fatal grub error.

The machine has been running Ubuntu just fine for over a year.  It has 
never had an ACPI error before.

I am running an RX-580 in an Aourus Ultra Gaming Z370 board.  I hadn't 
changed anything other than the OS before I started troubleshooting. 

I flashed the motherboard bios from F12 to F15 and loaded optimized 
settings.  Didn't help.  Still won't boot Linux normally.

I used dd to zero out my NVME drive and totally remove Qubes.  No help

What the heck did Qubes change and how do I fix it?

Hi unman,

you mean, those crashes didn't happen on Fedora-31 ?

Cheers :)

And *that* is exactly why I suggest testing first with an automatic roll

It would help if you could take a picture of the log files, and maybe
the result of trying a text only installation. from the screen on
run2.jpg press ctrl+alt+f2 to get to the shell and send pictures of the
log files under /tmp, and I haven't done a non-graphical installation,
but you shouid also be able to use the inst.text file there to try a
text only installation.

What are you hoping to do? Change the template to a newer one, while your 
mouse & keyboard are USB-connected?

If so, the only way to do so is via the CLI: e.g. 'qvm-shutdown sys-usb && 
sleep 20 && qvm-prefs sys-usb template NEWTEMPLATE && qvm-start sys-usb'

[qubes-users] Re: Updating sys-usb template

2020-06-01 Thread TheGardner
Always using for updates of sys-usb the following commands in Terminal in 
dom0:

Just a restart:
qvm-shutdown --wait sys-usb; qvm-start sys-usb


A change of the (already installed) new template, when all other vms 
already working with this new template:
qvm-shutdown --wait sys-usb; qvm-prefs -s sys-usb template ; qvm-start sys-usb


So for an update to Fedora-32 it would work with:
qvm-shutdown --wait sys-usb; qvm-prefs -s sys-usb template fedora-32; qvm-start 
sys-usb


Sometimes it crash and the cube won't starting proper again, so I have to 
turn the machine off and start new, but in 80% of the cases it's working 
this way.
The changes definitely are done in all cases, so you will run your sys-usb 
with the new Ttemplate then.

Cheers Steffen :)

Re: [qubes-users] Qubes won't boot

after the luksOpen, check with lvm tools:

run "sudo vgs -a".
(if you dont have vgs installed: "sudo dnf -y install lvm2") 
does it report a qubes_dom0? good.

now check for logical volumes: "sudo lvs -a"
_lots_ of reports, with vm names in them? good!
what are the attrs on those (third column)? "Vwi---tz--"?
(the important part there is: no "a" in the attrs.) 

then you need to activate the volume group: "vgchange -ay qubes_dom0"

after that, you should have a-plenty of new devices in /dev/mapper
and the vm-private-volume ones are the ones with names ending in
-private.
you should be able to mount these.
(or just restore them with dd to new vms)
