[qubes-users] HCL — ASUS Q325UA

2017-08-01 Thread Tao Effect 
Ran into all of the same issues that Mike Freemon experienced:

- https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/qubes-users/Eq2zZU5yXEs/qs94AX1uAAAJ 


But, while attempting to follow Mike's recommendations, I ran into additional 
obstacles as described here:

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2945 


Ultimately I was able to get the laptop working.

HVM: Yes
IOMMU: Yes
SLAT: Yes
TPM: `qubes-hcl-report` says 'unknown`, but I think I remember reading 
somewhere that it does?
Qubes: R3.2
Kernel: Supports the one in unstable (4.8.12-12), and in fact requires it for 
proper screen resolution support
Remark: What I wrote above, including all relevant links

Re: [qubes-users] Qubes not loading latest installed kernel...? + How to remove old kernel versions?

2017-08-10 Thread Tao Effect 
Any update on this?

I just encountered a similar problem:

- Qubes 3.2 indicated there was an update for dom0
- I updated via the graphical utility, installed kernel 
4.9.35-19.pvops.qubes.x86_64
- Rebooted

Upon reboot, `uname -a` indicates I'm still running the old kernel.

So I tried manually running: sudo qubes-dom0-update 
--enablerepo=qubes-dom0-unstable kernel kernel-qubes-vm --best --allowerasing

It downloaded stuff (for some reason from "Fedora 23" repo even though I 
thought I'd updated to Fedora 25? Or is that separate - just for TemplateVM?) 
and then said, among other things:

"Package kernel-qubes-vm-1000:4.9.35-19.pvops.qubes.x86_64 is already 
installed, skipping"


Makes no sense! What do I do?

Like this fellow below, I do not appear to have any GRUB related things on my 
system being used.

Is there a way to force the machine to switch to using GRUB? Perhaps some BIOS 
option?

This is the machine I'm using:

Thanks for any help!

Re: [qubes-users] Qubes not loading latest installed kernel...? + How to remove old kernel versions?

2017-08-10 Thread Tao Effect 
Something else I just noticed:

/boot contains initramfs-4.9.35-19.pvops.qubes.x86_64.img

BUT /boot/eft/EFI/qubes does not!

Both /boot and /boot/efi/EFI/qubes contain 
"initramfs-4.8.12-12.pvops.qubes.x86_64.img", and the two files differ when 
doing a diff on them.

The /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg file does not have an entry for the 4.9 kernel, 
but it does have 2 entries for 4.4.14 and 1 entry for 4.8.

There does not appear to be any difference between the boot arguments for the 3 
entries other than the version numbers of the kernels (that I can spot with my 
eyes alone).

I'm scared of modifying the xen.cfg file for 2 reasons:

1. The fact that the .img files for 4.8 kernels in /boot and 
/boot/efi/EFI/qubes are different means that I don't know what that difference 
is, and I can't just copy the 4.9 kernel from /boot into the other directory.

2. The fellow below tried modifying his xen.cfg file manually and broke his 
machine. I would like to avoid that.

Any help greatly appreciated!

[qubes-users] How to change / swap behavior of Ctrl, Alt, Win, and fn keys?

2017-08-05 Thread Tao Effect 
Dear list,

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might go about changing the behavior 
of the keys mentioned in the subject?

I'm so very used to the OS X keymap and it is, I think, unnecessarily painful 
having to switch between different keyboard layouts.

I would love to remap keys as follows:

Ctrl => fn
Alt => Ctrl
Win => Alt
fn => Win

Any help appreciated!

Thanks so much,
Greg
