[qubes-users] Help with qrexec [#usb #StandaloneVMs #external_devices]

2021-08-04 Thread 'Ing Gianluca Cavallo' via qubes-users 
I'm a completely newbie qubes os user and I have this issue to solve and maybe 
for you is too simple because you know what qubes is.
I created a StandaloneVM that means that it doesn't communicate with other VMs 
and it souds great.
But I need, temporary, to relax this option and I see that there is a deamon 
called qrexec that is responsable of this channel, so if I get what it is, I 
should need the command to give in dom0 to open and close the devices 
communication ports with the VMs.
In my case I created both a linux and a windows standaloneVM but I need to 
connect a digitalsign USB device because its driver is only for windows. For 
linux I have other needs.
Could you tell me how I can open this channel ? so how I can make the usb 
available for the standaloneVM ?
Is it possibile to execute a standaloneVM as root ?
Thanks in advance
Ing

Re: [qubes-users] HCL -Lenovo Thinkpad X230

2021-08-04 Thread Sven Semmler 

Hi Cody,

I am working on a list of recommended laptops for Qubes OS R4.0.4 as a 
community effort[1]. When reviewing your HCL report I saw you reported 
having to apply UEFI fixes when installing R4.0


My own experience with another ThinkPad was similar: I had to apply UEFI 
fixes for R4.0 but starting with R4.0.3 those where no longer necessary.


I am hoping you are still using Qubes OS and have meanwhile reinstalled 
with R4.0.3 or R4.0.4 and can confirm that UEFI workarounds are no 
longer needed. This would be required for this machine to make it on the 
list.


Thank you for your consideration & time!

/Sven

Everything now works. Turns out you need to set netvm and dom0 update vm to 
sys-firewall to make this work. My settings used sys-whonix to do u
