Hi Sven,

That's great info, thank you!

Other than these issues mentioned above, your fhd mod worked smoothly? As 
in, no need to add change anything during the heads build process?

I will certainly let you know how it went although, I will probably be back 
asking more stupid questions in the future before it's finished lol

Thanks,
Stacey

Oh I see, okay that's a key piece of info, thank you.

I am not aversed to research but Heads is seeming enigmatic, do you have 
any suggestions for guides etc. any advice you could give me would be much 
appreciated.

Will I have to add my FHD 1080p screen to the build?

Thanks,

I have to compliment your taste in hardware, I’m building almost exactly 
the same machine as we speak except for the SSD, I'm using a 1TB 870 Pro.

 

Although, I’m entirely new to coreboot and am trying to gather as much info 
as possible, I’m at the last stage before flashing but I am struggling to 
understand some of the config options. 

If at all possible, could I have a look at your config file Sven as our 
builds are almost identical.

 

Also did you flash Coreboot with seabios and then internally flash heads?

 

Thanks,

[qubes-users] Asus Touchpad - Mouse pointer movement weirdness

2019-06-03 Thread Adam Lewis
Hi all. I posted this HCL, which should help us to answer this particular
question as well;
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/qubes-users/HCL$20-$20ASUSTeK_COMPUTER_INC_-GL553VD$2020190519%7Csort:date/qubes-users/QDLjiYT6pEI/COi35_WxAwAJ

This machine came to me with Windows 10 on it, which had no issues with the
touchpad, suggesting that whatever is going on isn't hardware related. On
qubes, however, I've used xev to identify that the touchpad doesn't send
pointer movement events (generally speaking), unless I also hold a finger
over either the left or right touchpad mouse buttons. If I do place a
finger on either button, no matter how light or hard I press, the pointer
will move as I like. It will also operate as desired if I place a finger
somewhere else on the touchpad, but less reliably than on the buttons. Tap
to click (left and right), and multifinger scrolling work perfectly no
matter what.

Holding the left/right mouse buttons of my external usb device doesn't
influence whether it works or not, so perhaps the button press isn't as
important as having a larger surface area to complete an electrical
circuit? I've also tried using the synaptics driver, but it actually seems
less functional than the libinput default.

The only exception to the rule is that, rarely, the pointer will catch a
movement request and jump before immediately reverting to being
nonresponsive. This doesn't seem entirely dependent on "sweet spots" as I
originally though, but I still think there is some correlation between it
deciding to work and where I try from on the touchpad.

All help is appreciated, and if I can provide more information, please just
let me know.

Much thanks,
Adam

[qubes-users] HCL - ASUSTeK_COMPUTER_INC_-GL553VD 20190519

2019-05-19 Thread Adam Lewis
Key changes required to get working were to set the following boot arg for
both the installer USB and the live system
* efi=no-rs

The installer USB also required the nouveau blacklist args:
1. nouveau.modeset=0
2. rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau
3. video=vesa:off

The final iso to USB method used was the Fedora Media Writer with Qubes
R4.0.1 iso onto an HP 32 GB usb. Many USBs and writing methods were used,
but I can't say which would have worked if I'd gotten my boot args right
initially.

Altering boot args was difficult, since mounting the /dev/sdX2 partition
didn't allow direct manipulation of the BOOTX64.cfg file. Upon advisement
from #qubes on freenode irc, I copied the file, altered it, and then moved
it back in place on the USB partition, which worked well.

Post installation, Qubes configuration after initial boot had to be done
with TABs, because the mouse did not appear to work properly. After
configuration, I found that the touchpad behavior seemed to depend on using
a very specific section (top right corner, it seems). USB mouse was a
preferred alternative, but it may be true that the initial configuration
could have been done with the touchpad mouse if I'd known about the
sensitive areas.

Without efi=no-rs, post install allowed LUKS decryption before going black
and freezing.

Thanks to all who helped me figure this out, and hopefully this is
sufficient payback for the support I got :),
Adam/ilsonno

2019-05-19 Thread Adam Lewis
Thanks for the response. Rereading my messages, it's clear that I was
lacking some information about what my current state was, so I apologize
for that. Issues were primarily occurring during installation from a live
usb, before even getting the chance to select a storage device. I've done
some screwing around and am working on submitting an HCL now. I did run
into post installation issues, but those were due to a typo in my boot
args, and correcting nouveau.modeset=0 (was nouveau.nomodeset=0) cleared
that bit up for me.

Thanks again.

Thanks Mike, here's the results:
* Trying to start the USB VM results in error: ERROR: Start failed: internal 
error: libxenlight failed to create new domain 'USBlogs', see 
/var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log for details (at least I know why I 
couldn't get it to work the 1 time I tried before OP).
* Trying to start -net resulted in the same error, with the NIC removed.
* Trying to start -firewall resulted in the error saying -net couldn't start, 
pointing to libxenlight's log also.

Other things I observed again

2019-01-18 Thread Scott Lewis
Thanks but unfortunately I don't know that issue helps, as those who were
able to resolve it did so by updating which I cannot do since sys-net fails
to start.

This issue, https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3349 , seems to
cover that problem but nothing's mentioned about net & firewall failing to
start.

[qubes-users] sys-net & sys-firewall fail to start, new install

2019-01-17 Thread scott . lewis . engineer
Hello, I apologize in advance if this has already been addressed but searching 
for "sys-net" & "libxl" give many confusing results, I don't see any that match 
both not working, and I'm completely new to Qubes.
My problem is that after 2 different installs of the same version, 4.01, I keep 
getting the same problems: When I get into Qubes I cannot update dom0, and 
sys-net & sys-firewall both fail to start even though my NIC is correctly 
listed in devices for -net.

Basic info:
Dell Optiplex 780, bios= A15 as recommended in HCL.
Qubes 4.01, sigs checked good.
Install 1 done by USB, created in windows, had same issues as described below.
Re-installed by DVD thinking I'd muffed something (think I read on reddit that 
USB installs made from windows had issues) and the behavior is exactly the same.

Behavior observed:
(anything in [xxx] is me telling you the variation, as I get this for 2 VM's, 2 
error codes, etc.)
* Dom0 starts and runs, but -net & -firewall will not.
* When I attempt to manually start either, I get this error message:
"ERROR: Start failed: internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain 
'sys-net' [or sys-firewall], see /var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log for 
details".

When I less the log, I get these errors dozens of time with timestamps ranging 
from date of install to today: 
1: "[date:time]: libxl: libxl_create.c:610:libxl_domain_make:domain creation 
fail: Operation not supported"
2: "[date:time]: libxl: libxl_create.c:982:initiate_domain_create:cannot make 
domain: -3"
Those errors and nothing else.

I've tried to update dom0 by command as found in docs, as well as through GUI 
without success. I found a page elsewhere that described temporarily putting 
NIC in firewall or another VM to see if it worked, but I must be doing it wrong 
as I always get loopback errors when trying to save.
It always tells me failed, regardless. No wonder if network isn't working.

Under sys-net, I see the correct name and model of my NIC, but I can't seem to 
figure out how to see if the NIC is operational since sys-net isn't working 
(new to qubes sorry!), however I verified my router is not showing an IP 
assigned, though link LED is on.

If anyone can help me try to figure this out, I'd really appreciate it. I'm 
still a bit green on linux but I learn fast, I recently gave up on Windows (I 
hate 10 so much I could scream) so I'm trying to dive in with qubes (deep end 
of the pool I think) as it best suits my needs with the VM implementation.

I'd post the log itself, but I can't seem to figure out how to make USB copy 
work yet since I've been beating my head on the networking issue.

Thanks, and sorry in advance if this duplicated another thread.

[qubes-users] HCL - Y480

2017-03-09 Thread Andre Lewis
Here's the basics, everything seemed to work correctly out of the box,
although there was an initial hiccup when installing from USB stick, I
suspect it had to do with missing hardware support. I had to turn on bios
features for virtualization, but otherwise it worked correctly.

The only other issue on installation I wasn't asked for timezone, so it now
assumes I am in UTC-0 and I don't see a way to change that for all (or any)
of my VM's.

Some applications like Blender use the Intel GL stack correctly, but other
apps want the internal NVIDIA gpu, which so far I haven't had working.
I've run a variety of linux kernels but haven't tried the Windows instance
yet.
