Re: [qubes-users] Installing qr-exec on HVM

Update:

Got all services to run, including qubes-gui-agent.  Turns out the dependency 
it was failing on was meminfo-writer which was enabled in the 
/usr/lib/qubes/init/qubes-sysinit.sh script, but promptly disabled because it 
wasn't "checkmarked" in dom0's VM settings page.

That said, with all services running, still same behavior of getting no replies 
to "qvm-run --pass-io" nor does any qvm-run for executing commands, e.g., touch.

  qubes-db.service
  qubes-early-vm-config.service 
  qubes-meminfo-writer.service  
  qubes-mount-dirs.service
  qubes-qrexec-agent.service 
  qubes-sysinit.service

Unfortunately, it didn't work still when qubes-gui-agent was running.

I tried recompiling everything again, and the results have changed quite a bit. 
 Now, instead of autohiding the HVM window in dom0, I can see a very clear 
failure which points me in the direction of Xorg instead.

Sadly, this feels like a regression, but alas... I'm sure I'll get there 
eventually.

As far as "xl console lfs", dom0 reports "unable to attach console".  And in 
terms of dom0, it is still giving no sense of failure:

$ qvm-run --pass-io personal whoami
user
$ qvm-run --pass-io lfs whoami
$ qvm-run lfs "touch /tmp/dummy"
Running 'touch /tmp/dummy' on lfs

Needless to say, /tmp/dummy doesn't ever emerge.

The new error is

systemctl status qubes-gui-agent.service
...
Process: 660 ExecStart=/usr/bin/qubes-gui $GUI_OPTS (code=exited, 
status=1/FAILURE)
...
lfs qubes-gui[660]: XIO fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable on 
X server ":0"
lfs qubes-gui[660]: after 37 requests (36 known processed) with 0 events 
remaining)

X works (startx shows me a desktop and consoles), but nothing yet from getting 
Qubes GUI agent and qrexec.

[qubes-users] Installing qr-exec on HVM

2018-09-28 Thread Will Dizon
I am currently working on trying to make a TemplateVM out of a Linux from 
Scratch installation (or more accurately, BLFS).

Progress has been immense, but I've run into a roadblock I'm not sure how to 
diagnose.

For starters, I've gone through and successfully compiled: 

vmm-xen
core-vchan-xen
linux-utils
core-agent-linux
gui-common
gui-agent-linux

I've done the best I can to adapt Archlinux instructions, taking note of path 
modifications and installing everything, gruelingly by hand.  Everything built 
as best as I can tell, but I cannot get `qvm-run` to execute a command.  I'll 
try to give as much information as I can about the state of this systemd-based 
BLFS run.

1) lsmod shows xen_netfront, xen_netback, u2mfn loaded successfully on boot
2) The following systemd scripts are enabled (at boot) and run and exit cleanly:
  qubes-early-vm-config
  qubes-iptables
  qubes-misc-post
  qubes-mount-dirs
  qubes-sysinit
3) The following systemd scripts are enable and run in the background:
  qubes-qrexec-agent
  qubes-db

Any other services have been either a) mistakenly missed and not installed OR 
b) ignored as they implement a functionality I believe is non critical at the 
time, e.g., qubes-sync-time

If there are any other processes I've missed, please let me know, because it's 
probably just one of the make targets I've somehow overlooked.

4) /dev/xvdb mounted as /rw.  /rw/home and /rw/usrlocal all work as expected.  
xen mounted at /proc/xen also listed in fstab and seemingly working (based on 
xenstore-read name returning system name).

5) Lastly, theres qubes-gui-agent, which when run automatically hides the HVM 
window and makes it non-interact-able.  This is currently disabled in systemd, 
but is installed.

And this is where I'm stuck.

I'm trying on dom0: qvm-run lfs "shutdown now -h" and it returns "Running 
'shutdown now -h' on lfs" but the VM never responds.

What else might I provide to help troubleshoot this and to detect what seems 
like the last-mile in getting this working as a template?

Thanks in advance!
