Andrew, did you ever get this resolved? I seem to have this exact same
problem, but only after installing Qubes 3.2 (worked fine with 3.1) on
my Thinkpad T430.

Yep. That's the ticket.

Re: [qubes-users] Bitcoin Qubes tutorial

2016-06-28 Thread Todd Lasman

On 2016-06-28 12:01, Franz wrote:

Hello,

is there some form of tutorial for using Bitcoins with Qubes,
considering that I have no experience of bitcoins?

It seem I should have a VM for a hot wallet for making transactions
and another for a cold wallet to keep the bitcoins. But have no idea
if it is possible to move bitcoins between the two

Also imagine a good practice would be to make a backup of the VMs
containing the wallets using Qubes backup.

It would be also interesting to know which clients you consider safer
for buying and selling bitcoins.

Thanks

Best
Fran


Hi, Fran. I've done exactly this using the Electrum bitcoin wallet. I 
have a dedicated hot ("watching") wallet in its own VM, and a cold 
(offline) wallet in a separate VM that's never network-connected. 
Although I'm hardly a bitcoin expert, I don't think it's a matter of 
"transferring bitcoin from one wallet to another." Rather, I think the 
cold wallet just holds the private keys used when authorizing bitcoin 
transactions. For example, if I'm buying something with 1 bc, I generate 
a pending transaction in the hot wallet, sign that transaction in the 
cold wallet, transfer the signed transaction back to the hot wallet, and 
then broadcast it from there. That way, only that 1 bc is ever 
vulnerable in a network-connected VM.


If I'm misunderstanding this, or doing it wrong, I'd love to be educated 
by a bitcoin guru!

[qubes-users] Can't open an attachment from thunderbird (3.2 rc-1)

2016-07-04 Thread Todd Lasman
There is a PDF in an email attachment I'd like to open in a dispVM from
Thunderbird. When I choose that option, I get this error message:

qopen-in-vm: Fatal error: send filename to dispVM (error type: Broken pipe)

Shouldn't this be "qvm-open-in-vm..."? Or is there another issue I'm
missing. FWIW, this is the first time I've tried this in 3.2rc-1. In
3.1, this procedure worked as expected.

Re: [qubes-users] Backup Error

I'm trying out the backup feature in Qubes but getting an error.

I'm trying to save VMs totaling 22.4GB in size on a USB stick with 63GB 
free.


At 19% progress is get:
"[Dom0] Backup error!
ERROR: Failed to write the backup, VM output: cat: write error: File 
too large."


Is there a maximum file size for backups? A RAM limitation (I have 8GB
RAM and when I do the backup about 6GB is free)? Something else I'm
not thinking of?

I am able to do a small backup, such as just Dom0 itself.

Also a general question about backups: if I do a backup and then
restore, will it add what I backed up to what is already on the
system? Or completely overwrite everything? For example, if I have 10
VMs and backup 3, then restore the 3, will it just overwrite those
three and leave the other 7 alone? Or will I only have those 3 and the
other 7 are wiped out?


Also, be sure you didn't make the mistake I made once. I (stupidly) 
mounted by backup USB stick in Dom0. Then, when backing up Dom0, it 
tried to back up all the data on the backup stick, which of course kept 
increasing in size as more stuff got backed up onto it. I've since 
learned to use a USBVM, and mount the stick in a dedicated BackupVM.

[qubes-users] Why should I clone a template?

2017-05-20 Thread Todd Lasman

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

The dogma, as I understand it, is that it's safer to clone a template,
make changes to the clone, then base your AppVM's off of that cloned
template.

- From the Qubes website:
"It is highly recommended to clone the original template, and make any
changes in the clone instead of the original template. The following
command clones the template. Replace your-new-clone with your desired
name..."

My question is, why? It seems to me that if you ever needed the original
template back, you could just download it again from the repository. Am
I missing something?

Hmm. Not sure I understand that logic. The cloned templates still need
to be managed and backed up, so where's the advantage?

[qubes-users] Apps not starting on the first try

2017-05-06 Thread Todd Lasman

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

This seems to be a new issue on a recent reboot.

If I try to run a program from a VM that's not yet running, the VM
starts as expected, but the program never runs. Even after the VM is up
and running, I can't get any program to run in that VM. Even opening a
window in dom0 and using the qvm-run command does nothing.

However, if I kill the VM, the next time I try to run a program (which
reopens the VM), it works perfectly.

Any thoughts on troubleshooting this?

Thanks.

appVM's is that each one has specific docs along with specific
customizations. I back up Dom0 because I store some scripts there. To my
knowledge, backing up Dom0 only backs up the home directory, so I'd
check the contents of your home directory in dom0 to see why you have
500Gb stuff stored there.

I don't back up templates, as they are easily downloaded, and I don't
back up trivial, easily creatable appVM's like my backupVM, which is
essentially an empty placeholder for mounting external media.

Hope this helps.

[qubes-users] DispVM starts and halts

2018-10-06 Thread Todd Lasman
Help me troubleshoot this:

When I launch a terminal from the menu using the fedora-28-dvm template,
I get a message that disp407 is starting, disp407 has started, and
disp407 has halted. No terminal comes up.

However, if I launch the browser (Firefox), it works fine.

If I run from dom0:
$ qvm-run --dispvm=fedora-28-dvm --service qubes.StartApp+gnome-terminal

I get exactly the same starting/started/halted sequence, and no error is
reported.

[qubes-users] i3 Tap to Click

2018-12-13 Thread Todd Lasman
I just can't get i3 to respect my synaptics touch to click!

I've put this snippet in a variety of places (both in dom0 and the
template), including:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
EndSection

Just can't get it to work. Any thoughts?
I'm on Qubes 4.0, using a ThinkPad T430.

Thanks.

[qubes-users] qvm-copy-to-vm question

2019-02-12 Thread Todd Lasman
I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly.

According to the usage, the syntax is:
qvm-copy-to-vm destination_qube_name FILE

When I do this, I get a dialog that asks me which qube I want to copy my
file to. Why have this, if I already specified it in the command line?
Is there a way to suppress the dialog? And if not, what's the purpose of
having the destination_qube_name in the command line in the first place?

I'm told that some use qvm-copy instead of qvm-copy-to-vm. Whenever I
use the qvm-copy command (with the destination qube and the file to
copy) I always get the error message "Can't stat destination_qube. File
or directory doesn't exist (or something like that)"

All I want to do is copy a file from one qube to the next without
hassle. Suggestions?

Thanks!

Todd

3.2 used to permit the destination_qube_name in there, but 4.0+ doesn't.

From a terminal session inside the source qube, use "qvm-copy 
[filename]". It will then prompt for the destination qube.


Ok. Thanks for the explanation. Still doesn't seem right to me, though. 
I think I should be able to do the whole copy/move with one command, 
rather than two.

[qubes-users] Anyone using protonmail-bridge

2019-02-14 Thread Todd Lasman
For anyone using protonmail-bridge with thunderbird:

What kind of settings are you using to allow sending/receiving through
the firewall? I've allowed protonmail.com and 127.0.0.1 (which is the
address the bridge uses), but when the firewall is activated, I can't
send or receive anything. Turning the firewall off allows normal operation.

Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I'll try this method for getting through the firewall.

Regarding updating the bridge: my email VM is based on a fedora clone.
In that clone, I've just installed the newest version (1.1.1) of the
protonmail-bridge, which I had to download manually from the protonmail
site.
