[qubes-users] AMD Ryzen 7 PRO compatibility

2020-10-19 Thread 'trichel' via qubes-users
Because of the security issues with Intel Processors, AMD processors seem to be 
a very interesting alternative for a new system running Qubes.

The AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 4750G with integrated graphics would be ideal 
price/performance wise and it ticks all the boxes: no Intel, no  Nvidia, 8 
cores, and integrated graphics which are just fine for most Qubes users, 
certainly for me. But right now apparently Qubes has problems with the AMD PRO 
features SME and SEV. (I read in an older thread)

Would it be too much of a gamble to still get the AMD Pro for a new system and 
hope it will be possible to run Qubes in some (4 -8) months? Or maybe it is 
(will be) possible to get these PRO processors running Qubes with all the Qubes 
security features intact but with SME and SEV switched off?

Try with `dnf install --refresh --enablerepo=qubes-repo-contrib
qubes-tunnel`. It may be that either the new metadata hasn't come down
(happens a lot on Debian, not so much fedora) or the repo isn't enabled
by default in the package.




Thanks for the suggestion, I get pretty much the same kind of error (in 
the template and in dom0 when trying to install rofi)


bash-5.0# sudo dnf install --refresh --enablerepo=qubes-repo-contrib 
qubes-tunnel

Error: Unknown repo: 'qubes-repo-contrib'

yet when I installed something (Sakura in this case) it clearly showed 
it was checking the contrib repo in addition to the other repos?




1. The reason you're getting "Error: Unknown repo" is that the 
repository name is not "qubes-repo-contrib". Rather, the name depends on 
your Qubes release and whether it is in dom0 or a TemplateVM. For 
example, in a Fedora VM on Qubes 4.0, the new repository is:


  /etc/yum.repos.d/qubes-contrib-vm-r4.0.repo

2. After I installed the repository in a Fedora VM, I checked and found 
that it was already enabled, so --enablerepo is unnecessary.


3. I then tried to install the "qubes-tunnel" package in the same VM. 
Even though dnf reported that the contrib repo was checked, the 
"qubes-tunnel" package was not found. So, I can at least partially 
reproduce this. However, I don't know whether this problem is specific 
to the "qubes-tunnel" package.


I suggest filing a bug report.
