[qubes-users] Play Audio from AppVm on device attached to USB Cube
Hi all, I am a new Qubes user and amazed by the awesome work you put into Qubes to make compartmentalization usable. Also great to see how much you care about the community. Feels already good to be a part of it. Now to my question: I am running a USB Qube that has all my USB controllers attached. There is an external sound device attached and I managed to make it show up in Pulseaudio and play audio from the USB qube. However, the pulseaudio daemon running on the USB Qube is of course isolated from the rest of the system, so if I want play sound in a disposable VM (e.g. from Youtube) for example, it doesn't play. I guess this is because Pulseaudio in dom0 doesn't know about this output device. Is there any way (maybe with an additional vchan sink) to make this output device available globally so it can play sound from ideally all AppVMs? I've read https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/external-audio but this requires assigning an entire USB controller to a different VM and I think it also assumes that only this VM will play the audio, right?

Yes, like I wrote, I ideally want to mix sounds from multiple VMs. So I would prefer to find a solution for that. However, as a temporary solution I would be fine to use my output device only from one VM. The problem with that is that the output device is connected via Bluetooth and I don't really like to expose that to other domains. But even then, the Bluetooth adapter (which is part of the WiFi card) fails to properly attach to different VMs and when trying that the USB cube does no longer routes mouse input from the USB mouse to dom0 until I restart it. So if somebody has an idea for how to expose an external audio device to pulsaudio globally, I would appreciate some hints.

[qubes-users] How to remove KDE from dom0?
Hi all, I installed Qubes 3.2 with KDE and XFCE with the intention of continuing to use KDE as I did before. However, there were so many problems and bugs that I decided to use XFCE in the hope of having less of those. Although, it is not bug free, it works a lot better, so I would like to remove KDE from dom0 now. I already tried removing the @kde-desktop-qubes group, but that wants to remove all sorts of other rather essential packages.

I tried it now and it works, but is barely usable, because it is very(!!!) slow. On top of running ARM emulation in an AppVM, I needed to turn on software graphic rendering, because hardware rendering didn't work. It would be nice if Android guests would be officially supported by Qubes OS, but until that's the case, maybe there's a way of running Android guests in the meantime. An Android image comes with these files: kernel-qemu ramdisk.img system.img userdata.img Shouldn't it be possible somehow to create a XEN guest VM with these files mounted, so Android can actually boot?

[qubes-users] Inhibit Screensaver During Video Playback
Hi, I am using Qubes 3.2 with XFCE. When playing videos with mplayer or VLC in an AppVM, the screensaver in dom0 is not inhibited which is pretty annoying especially during long movies. Is this supposed to work or just an issue with my setup? If this is not supposed to work, how can we make it work?

Indeed, if people relied on their screen to lock automatically and then some compromised VM disabled the screen locking while an attacker waited for the user to be away and then gained physical access to the computer, this would be quite bad. However, it would be nice if there would be a way to allow specific VMs to still do this like it is with fullscreen windows or keyboard input. > Simple solution is to disable screensaver manually before playing the > video... Of course. I was hoping this wouldn't be necessary :( > Some more convenient would be to create a qrexec service, which VM could > trigger to disable screensaver. But this will be surely more work. I guess that would need to hook into whatever inhibition method the various players are using (heartbeat, fake keys, etc.). Or is it just a question of passing a call to xdg-screensaver to dom0 via qrexec instead?

If I boot into the system right after installation it works, but if I shut it down and try to boot later, it just maxes out the load on one CPU and hangs at "Booting from Hard Disk..." The partition is bootable and I installed GRUB and tried EFI GRUB 2 as well. It doesn't even seem to reach GRUB, so maybe an incompatible vga mode is not the problem. Do you use GPT? Which filesystem? When trying around I could even once get GRUB2 to start only to then fail with an error 17. I have the same issue with Android 4 and 6. Do you remove the "CD" from the VM config after the installation or do you always boot from the ISO?

It is not defined on the server side at all. But you need to load the 'module-native-protocol-tcp' module on the server side. Also on the server, you can list your existing sinks like this and get the name to specify on the client side: $ pactl list sinks My Bluetooth speaker is added there automatically whenever I turn it on.
