[qubes-users] Re: XScreensaver randomly popping up

2020-07-26 Thread fiftyfourthparallel
Also, since I started a thread, I also want to ask whether SHA1 or other 
deprecated algorithms are used in the PGP verification of dom0 and domu 
updates. This is somewhat related to my original question.

[qubes-users] XScreensaver randomly popping up

2020-07-26 Thread fiftyfourthparallel
Has anyone else experienced the screensaver/lock-screen popping up in the 
middle of typing? 

I had this happen to me twice while typing in dom0 (the second time, I was 
in the middle of typing 'qvm-shutdown debian-10'), so I went and checked 
all of the XFCE and Qubes shortcuts to ensure that I didn't hit some 
shortcut by accident. The default keys were ctrl-alt-del and ctrl-alt-L, 
along with some xf86 shortcuts, so my fingers were nowhere near the keys.

zhaojx88,

    you got a *network error*, so may be, you should follow my steps 
with a USB Network Interface Controller (aka USB ethernet), because the 
internal ethernet card isn't recognized by the default 4.9 linux kernel.


    My BIOS setting:

Boot (section)

  Secure Boot    Disabled

  UEFI Boot    Enabled

  Legacy Boot    Enabled

  > Secure Boot (sub-section)

    System Mode    User

    Secure Boot  Disabled

    Not Active (title)

    Secure Boot Mode   Standard

  > Boot Priority

    UEFI Boot   x (i.e. checked)

    Legacy Boot   x (i.e. checked)

    USB            x (i.e. checked)

    I used the 4.0.3 ISO from https://www.qubes-os.org/downloads/  on a 
USB storage stick. On boot I used the F10 key for choosing the *UEFI* 
USB device stick. And I installed Qubes-OS on my SSD with the help of 
the Qubes-OS documentation.


    Note also than my first 4GB USB stick was too small for the iso, 
finally I used a 32GB stick (but 8GB will be fine).


    If this doesn't resolve your problem, give more information (BIOS 
screenshots, when you got the above error message, ...)

 Same problem on Lenovo t460 but "standard" repo/update.

In dom0, edit /etc/dnf/dnf.conf and change install_limit=3 to higher number to 
keep more kernel versions installed. Have you tried also kernel-latest? It's 
5.7.X version.

You say that you have black screen since kernel 4.19.125?

Best,
Frédéric

The newest kernel (128) won't boot neither :-(
So I am still using 4.19.107.
But on next update I will be out. (unless I can "preserve" the old kernel)
