[qubes-users] Unable to reset PCI device 0000:02.00.0
Qubes 4.0 Error - "Start failed: Requested operation is not valid: PCI device :02:00.0 is in use by driver xenlight, domain sys-usb I don't know how to copy the log folder over and qubes doesn't have the wireless network, which I believe is related, but I've attached a picture of the log. This is a new Qubes install on a new Acer laptop Aspire A515-51-86AQ Booting in legacy mode. I can get into the main desktop and get to Dom0 terminal, but can't launch any of the default domains. There is another thread on here with the same error. He ran: $ qvm-pci attach --persistent --option permissive=true --option no-strict-reset=true sys-net dom0:00_XXX And it worked for him, but doesn't work for me, the response I get is "error : backend vm "dom0" doesn't expose device "00.XXX" So I wonder what "xenlight" is and it won't release what pci device? Suggestions? Thanks, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Suggested order for loading Qubes 4.0?
Hello, I got some great advice about having two hard drives since I want Windows on one drive and qubes on another. So I now have a good I7 laptop with two - 1/2 TB SSDs. I had in mind to load it this way, is the following correct? I'm starting with both SSDs empty, no OS on either. 1 Physically install both drives 2 Install Windows on disk 1 after booting to flash drive with windows ISO 3 Unplug windows based SSD drive just to be sure I'm on the right drive next 4 Boot to bios, modify bios to change 2nd SSD (to be Qubes) FROM Windows UEFI to other OS (correct?) 5 Boot to a flash drive loaded with the Qubes 4.0 install ISO This is the part I'm really not clear about, remember I'm working with two drives, booting to either the drive to windows or the drive to qubes. So, am I following the advice here?: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/multiboot/ - select custom layout, assign existing /boot partition as /boot, deselect the 'Format' option, continue with installation. Or, do I let Qubes install in automatic configuration and then manually modify the grub file?

Thanks for that. Also, I just have to find the details on how I'd approach that solution. If I get a laptop that's preloaded with the SSD+HDD already then I would need to unwind that. Perhaps should just by something that has the SSD already, and add the HDD - but then I need to find the details on how to boot to either one.

[qubes-users] Qubes OS dual boot question
I have a goal to buy a new laptop, preconfigured with Windows, and then within Windows I will reallocate disk space in order to install Qubes4.0. In the past with prior versions of Qubes that has sometimes been problematic, is that fixed with 4.0 or still a problem? Any input on how to proceed?

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...

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!

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

[qubes-users] Documentation for upgrading Fedora 23 to 24
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 mount /dev/xvdi /mnt/removable [user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf clean all [user@fedora-24 ~]$ sudo dnf --releasever=24 --setopt=cachedir=/mnt/removable distro-sync (Shut down TemplateVM by any normal means.)

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

[qubes-users] Boot problem that I created!
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!

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?

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
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 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

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

[qubes-users] gparted suggestions?
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.

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?

[qubes-users] Copy/Paste images
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?

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.

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!

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.

[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?
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 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[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?

[qubes-users] Where is Chrome once installed?
Hi, newbie question. I am using 3.2 and an HP I7 processor. I created a Fedora VM. I wanted to run a Chrome browser, so I used Firefox to download and save in the Fedora VM file section, where I installed Chrome. Then it asks if I want to run it, and I do - no problem. However, I don't see a way to actually launch Chrome anywhere (other than when it asks me after installing). No trace of Chrome anywhere. Any help is appreciated.

I am a medium tech type, definitely Windows background and trying (out of "learner" interest) to gear up on Linux and derivations. When I first heard of Qubes I was very excited because it would finally solve a lot of problems I've experienced with my previous windows systems. And, since I have begun to do things on Linux the idea of having the Qubes framework seemed awesome and simple. If find however that reproducing my day to day paradigm is an extremely difficult journey. My paradigm includes a lot of technical, and also musician interest. Just getting to the basics of playing mp3s or running what I normally run in windows seems like a battle. I have a need to be "learner" on the Linux systems, but still flip to Windows on my day to day routine. I have to swap monitors and go to trouble right now switching - it concerns me that it's this hard. I want to learn, but getting answers is also difficult. I do understand the mantra on here about teaching people to help themselves. But, if the goal is to achieve wide spread adoption of Qubes then something else needs to happen. On the forum question specifically - I frankly like the idea. I also share the concern expressed that all the info is not in one place. For what it's worth, my vote would be to dump everything except the forum, take this to the next level. Thanks,.
