Please have a look at the following instructions, modified what you
wrote. I hope we could simplify/clarify for novice users and add this to
the Qubes documentation.


You should be able to fix this in grub: something like this -
Interrupt the boot process and change the parameters to remove
rd.qubeshideallusb, and add
rd.break=cleanup.

You'll be prompted to decrypt disks and then drop to shell.
The root filesystem will be mounted ro at /sysroot.

umount /sysroot

mkdir /mnt/disk

mount /dev/mapper/qubes_dom0-root /mnt/disk

chroot /mnt/disk

qvm-prefs -s sys-usb autostart false

exit

sudo umount /mnt/disk

[qubes-users] iommu=force - security risks?

I had to use iommu=force to make a notebook boot Qubes R4. [1]

Does that pose any security risk?

[qubes-users] Qubes R4 RC1 GUI backup tool doesn't exist yet?

2017-10-09 Thread Patrick Schleizer

I guess a GUI backup tool doesn't exist as of Qubes R4 RC1 (plus all
stable upgrades)?

The progress in

'Qubes Manager Decomposition for Qubes 4.0'
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2132

is a bit hard to follow in such a lengthy ticket. May I suggest
splitting the remaining tasks into new tasks and close that one?

That requires to chroot into the mounted disk system?

Isn't it difficult to run grub from a chrooted disk without messing up
bootloader of the disk that was booted or messing up which devices grub
is referring to?

> Remove rd.qubeshideallusb parameter from grub [...]

If that's all... Then why not just do this during normal system boot at
grub?

Even if it's not hidden all the time from dom0... Won't the
keyboard/mice USB controller be quickly assigned to sys-usb, detached
from dom0 and still leave an unbootable system?

As I understand the documentation rd.qubeshideallusb is "only" for
improved security. One can render its system unusable even without using
rd.qubeshideallusb.

The Qubes documentation explains how to hide/unhide it with the gui. But
when the disk is not booted (for recovery booted from USB), the gui
cannot be used since it refers to the USB booted and not internal disk
supposed to be recovered.

To undo it some file on the internal disk needs to be modified. Which
files needs what modification?

[qubes-users] How to recover Qubes when keyboard / mice is dysfunctional due to USB qube setup issues?

How can one recover from such a situation if there is no PS2

I guess... Unless there is a better way...? Boot the system using from

That guide totally does not apply. It starts with "1/ You will need to
install Qubes in UEFI mode, *NOT* BIOS/CSM mode". Doesn't fly - cannot
boot Qubes anyhow.

[qubes-users] UEFI Troubleshooting workaround does not work

2017-09-17 Thread Patrick Schleizer

Hi!

Got a new notebook. Tried to install Qubes R3.2 as well as Qubes R4 RC1
but failed so far.

Got this

Filepath:
ACPI(a0341d0,0)/PCI(2,1f)/UnknownMessaging(12)/File(/EFI/Boot)/file(Xen.efi)/EndEntire

boot loop bug. The workarround
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/ does not help. Still
a boot loop. Tried installation from USB as well as DVD.

And I couldn't find a legacy boot option in the BIOS.

For comparison, an Ubuntu dvd booted.

Meaning, no Qubes for that notebook?

So the only option left nowadays is "when you buy a new notebook, make
sure it supports legacy boot"?

Cheers,
Patrick

Thanks Chris, I decided to go ahead and install it in the template. I had tried 
that once and had another problem, tried it again, same thing. Once installed I 
can't access the folder where it was created, which was the /opt/splunk/ 
folder, check this:

[user@fedora-24-work-splunk /]$ cd opt
[user@fedora-24-work-splunk opt]$ ls
google  splunk
[user@fedora-24-work-splunk opt]$ cd splunk
bash: cd: splunk: Permission denied
[user@fedora-24-work-splunk opt]$ sudo cd splunk
[user@fedora-24-work-splunk opt]$ ls
google  splunk
[user@fedora-24-work-splunk opt]$ 

So it didn't choke, no feedback, but I didn't get into the splunk directory...

What's happening?

Thanks, Patrick

[qubes-users] Use of qubes question

Hi, I'm trying to use app vms to test an app called splunk..

Anyway, am I thinking about this correctly? This is what I did:

* I created a special template vm called - splunk-template

* I then downloaded the rpm package to that template's tmp folder

* I verified it was there.

* I then restarted the template.

* Then I created an appVM pointed to the splunk-template

I then looked in the /tmp folder and it wasn't there by name, here was the 
contents of that folder:

firefox_user  qubes-session-env  qubes-session-waiter  ssh-fnBwiL4QxbUY  
systemd-private-1789b20d2d894850aa8d42bf8e0075f7-rtkit-daemon.service-d4xIHy


I thought I would be able to install it from the appVM at that point, is this 
some kind of security thing?

Am I even thinking about the process correctly? Because I want to be able to 
install it in different appVMs as part of my learning process.

Thanks.

Thanks noor. I tried that but it said I had to do that in the template VM, 
weird. Tried it there and command wasn't available.

Anyway I decided to update the overall template VM and all of a sudden the 
shortcuts showed up as available - weird again!

So I guess it's solved, sort of :)

Thanks,
Patrick

[qubes-users] Why doesn't the TemplateVM make the newly installed software present the option to add the shortcut?

2017-07-18 Thread Patrick Bouldin

Hi, I added routine software like libre office draw or writer in the 
TemplateVM. I am then able to run it in the corresponding appVM - however, I 
attempt to "add shortcuts" either on the template or the appVM they don't show 
as available. I think I can do it manually but would like to fix this bug, it 
wasn't a problem before. I have done a dom0 update by the way.

[qubes-users] VM root image file gone after simply creating a VM Backup

2017-06-07 Thread Patrick Bouldin

Hello,

I got an APP VM to the point where I wanted it and thought it would be best to
clone it for the future. I tested it prior and it worked. But when I went
through the backup steps on the Qubes VM manager it worked, but after that none
of the app VMs worked - they would all report:

" Qubes
Error while starting the 'fedora-24' VM: VM root image file doesn't exist:
/var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/fedora-23/root.img "

I have started this process over twice now:

Reload Qubes fresh
Update dom0
Upgrade fedora-23 to fedora-24

I would save the template as "base fedora-24"

I would continue and add the apps I want: Chrome, Dropbox and printer settings.

I would save that template as well, different name.

I would test the Work and Personal Chrome browsers, no problem, worked fine.

I would then backup the final fedora-24 and store it in a folder in dom0, under
/user/Downloads.

After that it broke, again - error message as stated.

1 - Can anyone explain what happened?
2 - How can I fix this without starting over?

Thank you,
Patrick

Update - I started again and I'd imagine I did something wrong, so I suggest 
the following update at the top of the upgrade page:

Experienced users - use Summary, otherwise use detailed instructions.

In the detailed instructions I'd suggest adding:

(Recommended - After upgrading the Fedora 24 (from the Fedora 23 clone), clone 
the new Fedora 24 to a copy - and THEN continue with clean up steps.

Patrick

[qubes-users] Documentation for upgrading Fedora 23 to 24

2017-06-07 Thread Patrick Bouldin

Hi, I started with a fresh install of Qubes 3.2

Then I upgraded dom0

Then I decided to upgrade fedora-23 to fedora-24 using the steps here:

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/template/fedora/upgrade-23-to-24/


I followed the "summary" instructions at the top. Then I decided to remove 
fedora-23 from the system and added in some of the commands from the detail.

This caused the image of fedora-24 to disappear as well. Note, one command I 
used was:

sudo dnf remove qubes-template-fedora-23 (and indeed I ensured I typed 23, not 
24).


When launching the VM it indicated there was no image file.

So I'm doing this all over, loading a new Qubes. Question though, can someone 
please edit these instructions to include deleting fedora-23 properly?

They are: 

  [user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-23 fedora-24
[user@dom0 ~]$ truncate -s 5GB /var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-24 gnome-terminal
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-block -A fedora-24 
dom0:/var/tmp/template-upgrade-cache.img
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/xvdi

[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf clean all
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf --releasever=24

[qubes-users] Can Google Drive be installed on a VM?

2017-05-31 Thread Patrick Bouldin

Hi, similar to Dropbox where I was able to install it as an app within a VM 
template - and it syncs automatically when I open the VM - AND it's a folder 
mapped in the VM files manager for easy file movement

Can I do the same with Google Drive? Where it also can be accessed in the VM 
Files manager?

[qubes-users] Boot problem that I created!

2017-05-24 Thread Patrick Bouldin

Hi Qubes fans.
Ok, my royal mistake - not realizing I had a keyboard error and in trying to
fix the computer I created other issues. Now my system is not booting to Qubes.
When I didn't realize I had a keyboard issue I changed secure boot mode back a
few times, among other things. Here's what I did:

So, I tried these scenarios:
Legacy Support enabled, Secure boot disabled. It asks for a new four digit
code, and then reboot - nothing but black screen. Honestly, I do not remember
if I had secure boot running before!

Then this try:
Legacy Support Disabled, Secure boot disabled.
Result: "Boot device not found - install an OS on your hard disk"

Then this try:
Legacy support Disabled, Secure boot enabled - Same result as above, no boot
device found.

Finally this try:
Legacy support enable, secure boot enabled - it won't allow this combination.

So then I boot to the USB - Qubes - and selected the recovery option:
(Legacy support disabled, secure boot disabled) - it said a changed in OS was
detected, I had to confirm with a four digit key.

Then Qubes loaded and I continued to rescue mode.
It asked for my LUKS passphrase, this is the same as my disk encryption right?
So I entered that.

Then it displayed this prompt:

sh-4.3#

Is that my hard drive Qubes it found?

Any suggestions on what to do from here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Patrick

Thanks unman, that actually worked. However, apparently the QubesOS install 
apparently corrupted the Windows OS partition that was installed first. I guess 
that's a different problem! Do you think I need to start over? If I try to boot 
to the USB windows7 ISO it doesn't recognize it, but I know the ISO is good.

I'm probably a 3 out of 1-10 scale in my expertise on this, hopefully someone 
else can jump it too - but I ran into some similiar issues. Check this out: 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/thinkpad-troubleshooting/

Notes like disabling VT-d on the ThinkPads, in the bios. Also had to disable 
some other things - look around there as a start, if you haven't already.

Best,
Patrick

By chance are you logging into the same Google Account in the different VMs?  I 
have noticed this same behavior, but only when logged into the same Google 
account. In fact, many times something causes the session to disassociate with 
the browser and hang - I suspect there's something in the network part of the 
hypervisor that is causing google to get confused as to which VM should be 
authorized, etc - as the same IP is being used. Or, something in this regard.

If I close out of the Google Sessions each VM seems to work fine - but, when 
this does happen it surely causes the VM to hang up for a very long time.

[qubes-users] Multi Boot Question

2017-05-05 Thread Patrick Bouldin

I was attempting to go by the instructions here:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/multiboot/

Confused on which instructions to execute. First, I repartitioned, then 
installed Windows 7 - it booted fine. Then I installed Qubes on the other 
position - and Qubes now boots fine to that partition. With that in mind, do I 
follow the instructions under Windows or Linux on the guidelines?

And, if I'm to use the Windows instructions, then when doing a blkid in order 
to get the volume for windows and substituting that name into the X in the 
"ntldr (hd1,X)/bootmgr" line of the /etc/grub.d/40_custom  file - I am unclear 
as to what to use there. If I blkid I see this: 

/dev/sdal: LABEL="System Reserved" UUID="lotsOfcharacters", and then type, and 
then PARTUUID="othercharacters".  So, which do I want for the X substitution. 
Either way upon boot I get "error: hd1 cannot get C/H/S values"

Thank you,
Patrick

Thanks. Ok, can you recommend the linux installer, or are you saying just do 
the allocation from a USB boot to a linux iso installer?

Thank you,

[qubes-users] gparted suggestions?

2017-04-20 Thread Patrick Bouldin

Hi, I am re-partitioning a corrupted drive on a Lenovo laptop with an i5. Do 
not need to save data, I'm starting over.

So, I have booted to a USB with gparted tool. I would like to have two 
partitions, one for qubes and one for windows 10. I would also like to have it 
boot to something that asks me where to boot, either qubes or windows 10, so 
maybe that's another partition.

Being brand new to gparted I don't know how best to set it up.

If you have experience with this I'd appreciate any suggestions before I dive 
in.

Thank you,
Patrick

busybox will be installed on Whonix 14 by default.

On the other hand, what about adding busybox as a dependency to the

[qubes-users] grsecurity kernel 4.9.20 not working - Qubes ErrorHandler: BadAccess MIT-SHM

2017-04-07 Thread Patrick Schleizer

Proxying a message from torjunkie at Whonix forums here due to google
group vs Tor spam false positive issues. Source:

https://forums.whonix.org/t/long-wiki-edits-thread/3477/55?

#

Greetings,

I am currently using Qubes 3.2 and have had success to date with
running the 4.8 grsec kernel series (coldkernel) with Debian-8 AppVMs
following the steps / advice outlined on the coldhak blog and github
account.

I have recently tried to apply the 4.9.20 upgraded kernel to the
Debian-8 TemplateVM and hit some problems.

I have followed the advice to install the latest
qubes-kernel-vm-support package from the Qubes testing repository (for
the Debian-8 TemplateVM) and avoided the error messages around "Bad
return status for module build."
[https://github.com/coldhakca/coldkernel/issues/55]
[https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2691]

The upgraded kernel successfully builds and the TemplateVM boots.
However, the TemplateVM state light soon shifts from green to yellow.
The qrexec.log and console.log look okay (no obvious error messages),
but the guid.log shows a new cryptic error message I've never seen before:

ErrorHandler: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
Major opcode: 130 (MIT-SHM)
Minor opcode: 1 (X_ShmAttach)
ResourceID: 0x219
Failed serial number: 49
Current serial number: 50

Any attempts to run applications fail e.g. terminal. So, grsec
groups can't be set, paxtest can't be run, and obviously it's not
functional, so there is no point creating a new AppVM based on it.

Can anyone who has the 4.9 grsec kernel up and running provide any
advice on how to resolve this problem?

Regards

Sorry for the top post, I knew better! :)  

Ok, I think I am almost there. I am still confused on how the shellscript is 
invoked. Do I create a shortcut that activates this? Once I have the shell 
script in dom0, how do I invoke it from a screen print?

Thanks,
Patrick

[qubes-users] Copy/Paste images

2017-02-08 Thread Patrick Bouldin

Hi everyone,

One important thing that really keeps me back from totally converting to qubes 
is the inability to create documents with screenshots. On a windows pc I can of 
course do a screen print, then quickly crop the image and paste it right in a 
document.

This seems extremely difficult in qubes. I do see someone created some image 
copy/paste between domains here: 
http://jrruethe.github.io/blog/2015/09/17/screenshots-in-qubes/

Am I missing something basic or will I need to do something like that?

Thanks,
Patrick

Right.

Gave the upgrade low priority and I am pretty conservative when it comes
to stable upgrades. It's not too hard to upload a package to the stable
repository that then would wreck connectivity for most users.

Just would like to add to my last post that I found some code related to the 
bugzilla, here: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/attachment.cgi?id=6590

So would I somehow install that and how? Or, download a tar file and install 
(and how?)

Thanks,
Patrick

Hi, it does look like it. I searched around a lot and this is new territory so 
can you guide me a bit? It says to use patch 53. I assume that's available as a 
pull request on Github (also new to me). Can you give me instruction on how to 
find the patch? Could you give me basic instructions on applying it? Would I 
download the tar file and then install it at Dom0 terminal? New ground, all of 
it. Not afraid of it just need a push.

[qubes-users] Monitor won't wake up after temporary hdmi switchover

2017-02-02 Thread Patrick Bouldin

Hello again, this problem is really causing issues. I have multiple hdmi 
connections on my monitor. Whenever I switch over, away from the Qubes machine, 
and then back again, the Qubes machine loses its hdmi connection. I can tell 
the machine is still running, and ok, but I can't see anything!

PS - on boot, I'm still always getting this error:
[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.

Could this be related? It seems to operate fine, except for the hdmi monitor.


Thank you,
Patrick

[qubes-users] ios in Qubes

2017-01-31 Thread Patrick Bouldin

Hi, I'm not seeing that as an option, is that correct?

I thought maybe I could avoid buying an Apple in order to do some mobile app 
development if I could load the OS into a VM.

Thanks,
Patrick

PS - I see the following to add shortcuts to app that didn't make them 
available: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/signal/

But I still confused with step 1. Am I even on the right track? What shortcut 
has been created in step 1 of the Signal example? How did he "get" the shortcut?

Darn, still not working - I noticed this link is not working: 
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/\$releasever/
gpgkey=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc


So it's not finding the file, tested that just in my browser address bar.

Hi Andrew, thanks and I guess so. When I removed one or two with the right 
click it still left it on the Applications menu selection. So I guess was 
looking for a remedy to get that last step done.

Hi, I have looked and can't seem to find advice or documentation on manually

Any hint?

I've been getting this message ever since loading 3.2 from scratch. It doesn't

Wow, this is a bear for me. 

Dropbox said:Add the following to /etc/yum.conf.


name=Dropbox Repository
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/\$releasever/
gpgkey=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc

So I performed a sudo gedit on that file and added the above three lines. When 
I saved it I received this:

** (gedit:1791): WARNING **: Set document metadata failed: Setting attribute 
metadata::gedit-position not supported
[user@fedora-24 ~]$ 

So I do see that you can't save metadata by extending the yum.conf file, and 
tried a few other things that I think it was suggesting.

When I try and run $ sudo dnf install nautilus-dropbox
I get this:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:14:35 ago on Tue Dec 27 15:23:35 2016.
No package nautilus-dropbox available.
Error: Unable to find a match.

I'm sorry if this is beyond the scope of qubesOS assistance, perhaps I should 
check in with a dropbox forum?

Thanks,
Patrick

Thanks David. housekeeping question - before I started I copied my Fedora 
template, just in case. Am I correct I can easily undo those changes 
incorrectly made by deleting the template and renaming the backup template to

Ran into some issues, can I confirm what you said?

So I first installed dropbox according to dropbox instructions:

$ cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64; | tar 
xzf -

That completes ok...
Then they say:

Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.

~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd

I attempted this in the same Fedore template, is that correct? It installs but 
doesn't complete - it actually starts dropbox file synching.

I know you said that after I install according to your instructions to do:

$ sudo dnf install nautilus-dropbox 

I assume that is also on the Fedora template?

I tried that with and without the last instruction from dropbox on the template.

Incidentally, I am able to successfully load dropbox and synch on any of my 
VMs... (of course I lose it when restart). So just need clarification on the 
template.

PS - I do not want Dropbox to start in a VM unless I tell it.

Thanks!

one day of poking around more, let me just ask this. I looked but could not 
find, is it normal to be able to launch Fedora GNOME inside a Fedora 24 VM? How 
does one do that? I tried StartX... that doesn't work. Do I need to install 
something?

Hi Chris, well that is a new topic for me, but did some checking. To clarify, 
one would adjust that at the CLI right? A command like "sudo systemctl stop 
qubes-qmemman" ?  If so, I haven't done that. I also see a setting related to 
the memory balancing in the advanced part of the memory allocation, a checkmark 
for "include in memory balancing" - and that is checked, I think it's default.

Is that what you referred to? Incidentally, I've not installed it on the 
template yet, just testing on a created VM until I see it working well.

Thanks,
Patrick

[qubes-users] Fedora Desktop in Qubes

Hi, I saw some threads on this but am not clear at a high level.

I thought I would install dropbox client on one of my Fedora VMs so that 
working with files is much smoother than from a browser. So, is installing a 
Fedora Desktop the best plan to do that? Don't assume I know enough of native 
Qubes ability please - maybe I'm missing a key point!

Question, are you plugging in at the standard mini jack on the machine or are 
you by chance plugging into the audio jack of an hdmi monitor?  I was using the 
hdmi monitor and had serious intermittent issues. Once I replugged into the 
standard audio output it was 100%. Note: I downloaded Google Chrome into the 
Fedora VM template and run ALL the audio within Chrome. I had problems running 
some sound out of the other browsers so I just use Chrome now.

[qubes-users] Can I speed up the loading of an APP?

2016-12-20 Thread Patrick Bouldin

Hi, compared to running a certain app in windows (Anki), installing it in the 
Fedora template in Qubes means the first time to run is very slow to launch. 
Maybe up to a minute. To install it to the template I just said "sudo yum 
install anki"

Otherwise, other things running are very fast. If I do launch it manually from 
the fedora CLI it's the same slow launch. Maybe it comes down to compiling it?

Thanks,
Patrick

[qubes-users] Qubes-Whonix DisposableVM documentation created

2016-12-15 Thread Patrick Schleizer

https://www.whonix.org/blog/qubes-whonix-dispvm

Before we had just a [stub][1]. Now [Qubes-Whonix][2] [DisposableVMs][3]
are fully [documented][4] thanks to [contributions][5] by the
[community][6]. ([wiki history][7])

**What are DisposableVMs?**

Under the Qubes TemplateVM model, any changes made to a
TemplateBasedVM's root filesystem are lost upon reboot. This is
advantageous for several reasons: it allows centralized (and therefore
faster) updates for all applications (most) inside the root filesystem,
saves time and disk space.

However, certain directories are designed to persist between reboots in
order to store files and settings. These directories are stored in /rw/
and include /home/user as well as additional directories defined by
"[bind directory][8]" settings.

To ensure that all changes to the filesystem are discarded after a
session, Qubes offers [DisposableVMs][9]. When a DisposableVM is
shutdown, the VM is removed from Qubes and all related VM images are
deleted from the host filesystem.

**What is a Whonix-Workstation DisposableVM?**

As the name suggests, this is a [Qubes][10] DisposableVM template based
on the Whonix-Workstation. This allows [Qubes-Whonix][2] users to create
throw-away instances of their Whonix-Workstation.

**Why Should I Consider Using a Whonix-Workstation DisposableVM?**

Whonix-Workstation DisposableVMs:

* Are quickly generated;
* Are disposed of (deleted) when the user has finished browsing and
other activities in a single session; and
* Will not remember any of the user's activities across DisposableVM
sessions, unless customized.

The major benefit of this approach is that the Whonix-Workstation
DisposableVM can be created in order to host a single application
usually the Tor Browser  mitigating the risk that a compromise of the
browser will affect any of your other VMs.

Critically, a Tor Browser exploit will not effect (poison) later
instances of the Tor Browser running in a subsequent DisposableVM
session, because the DisposableVM is always started in its original state.

**Can I Customize Whonix-Workstation DisposableVMs?**

Yes. For advanced users, the instructions include steps to create a
customized savefile that will remember specific changes, such as
personalized Tor Browser settings. Due to concerns over possible
fingerprinting issues, users should carefully read the wiki warnings
before proceeding on this course of action.

**Can I Easily Add DisposableVM Entries to the Qubes Menu?**

Not yet for Qubes R3.2 XFCE 4, but you can [edit existing DispVM start
menu entries][11] and [desktop shortcuts can be created][12].

**What Else Should I Know?**

Due to a few usability issues affecting anonymity, do not use
Whonix-Workstation DisposableVMs until:

* You understand Whonix-WS DispoableVMs are NOT yet amnesic; and
* Have carefully read and understood the available Qubes-Whonix
DisposableVM documentation.

Alternatively, you may wish to wait for Qubes 4.0 before you start using
Qubes DisposableVMs, due to [significant enhancements][13] planned for
the later release.

Re: [qubes-users] Qubes VM snapshots using git / SVN

2016-12-05 Thread Patrick Schleizer

Why I used git:

* I found it simpler and quicker to type to manage the whole
/var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/vm-name including all files using git rather
than manually that folder.

[qubes-users] Qubes VM snapshots using git / SVN

2016-12-05 Thread Patrick Schleizer

Has anyone used git / SVN on huge Qubes templates (in case they break
during upgrades or for development purposes) for snapshot / rollback
purposes and can can share some tips (for speeding git it up)?

(Since qvm-revert-template-changes works only on templates and can
revert only to the previews state, not any after multiple VM restarts.)

** 2nd update ** while the above update is true, unfortunately when the machine 
hibernates the only thing that brings the display back is a cold boot.

So it seems to be associated with losing the hdmi somehow - causing the machine 
not to be responsive to keyboard wake-up.

Any clues?

Thanks,
Patrick

Andrew,

I'm very willing to donate - and well noted that you all will continue to 
update the core changes in the public domain. I do understand the why, the what 
and the dollars for the change - however, will there be anyone left to work on 
the core, for the sake of the core? Just wondering where the donation dollars 
will be going. I ask because I agree with the person noting 20,000 current 
licenses. If we all sent in $100 US each then that's $2 million US. 

Is it possible to set up some separation of funding to ensure each group is 
getting what they want? Set up the public funding better with separate 
marketing, and let that fund improvements for the public domain (not just 
maintenance and slight core improvements) - and then fund your corporate goals 
using the methods you mentioned.

As a relatively new user I'm concerned about investing more time in this and it 
not progressing.

Thanks,
Patrick
Dallas, Texas

[qubes-users] Issue with hdmi

Hi, after returning to Qubes (I waited for 3.2 since my video was having 
issues) - seems to be working fine now.

However, when the machine times out into sleep, and if I've turned off my hdmi 
monitor I can't seem to wake up the video. I can tell Qubes is running, but 
have tried many ways to wake up the hdmi, haven't found a way.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Patrick
