[qubes-users] HCL - Lenovo E460 (i5-6200U)

2016-10-18 Thread Shakthi Kannan
Hi,

The E460 hardware specification:

14"
i5-6200U
Intel IGP
8 GB RAM
1 TB HDD
Anti-glare screen
No OS
1.8 kg

I initially tried Qubes 3.2, but, it simply kept rebooting after
printing "dom0: detected vCPUS ...". So, I proceeded to install 3.1.

I booted with secure boot off, EFI disabled and in legacy mode. VT-d
is enabled in BIOS.

I set Dvorak keyboard as default. Keyboard, touchpad and trackpoint
work fine by default.

Display is good, and connecting to an external display works.

I have not tested the camera. Suspend to resume works partially.
Sometimes, unlocking does not allow me to log into X server, and I get
a blank screen. I have to login to console instead.

Audio has been tested. Attaching USB devices also works. Wireless works fine.

Regards,

SK

[qubes-users] Qubes 3.1 on Thinkpad E460

2016-10-08 Thread Shakthi Kannan
Hi,

I have installed Qubes 3.1 on a Lenovo E460 with VT-d enabled in the
BIOS. Also, booting with "Legacy only" and "Secure boot" disabled.

(I initially tried with 3.2, but, after loading initrd.img, the boot
messages proceeded until "Dom0 has 2 CPUS" and the installer failed to
start.)

Couple of questions:

1. I would like to know if there are any proprietary binary blobs in
Qubes OS. If yes, how can they be replaced? I came across this thread:

  https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/qubes-devel/w2ssPzYemQ8

Is dom0 completely free? I do not have linux-firmware installed and
mostly use ethernet or USB-wireless. Suspend/resume work fine.

2. I see Puri.sm shipping Qubes OS. How is it different from the 3.1
or 3.2 release? Please let me know.

I shall submit the HCL report soon.

Thanks!

SK
