I just faced this issue, and tried every possible setting in BIOS to no avail. 
Did you find a solution?

Your welcome :)
I hope your new laptop will run Qubes 4 smoothly, it can be a hit and
miss sometimes, but generally you can reduce the risk by i.e. checking
if it supports VT-D, like you already did :)


My Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, runs 3.2 smoothly, with only a few bumps on the 
road. The steep learning curve is the personal setup I think, and the 
muscle memory on what to use, when :)



I definitely agree too that more could be done to communicate, sadly,
despite how pretty awesome Qubes is, communication with its
communicate, seems to be its weak point. Most people around here seem
to care about each others, it's just, there is so little organizing
and corporation, both within the community, and between the community
and developers.


Fair enough.

I actually installed 3.2 and found some interesting solutions to 
annoying things, an example such as fedora goes amok in large fonts with 
high resolution displays that have been scaled down( solution is to 
install gnome-tweak-tool in fedora and scale down and up again, 
resetting the system). That works. These things, I would like to share 
with others, if they run a laptop with a screen resolution of 3200x1800 
scaled down. I might have provided a simple guide to Yoga 2 Pro users, 
but I think it won't be worth the hasle, when 3.2 soon hits EOL. But 
experience is always best, shared.



But having said that, the developers are awesome to step in and help
fix user issues, despite being so busy. It's just, I think at least,
that Qubes could use more staff members to help fostering the
community a bit more. I.e. like you said, help communicate so people
don't fall into security traps, instead of relying purely on OS system
designs to make sure people don't get into trouble. A mix of both,
seems like a good balance.


Yes, I have been grateful for your help, and hopefully the Qubes 4.x 
setup will break and not continue, if Qubes 4 cannot work without VT-D. 
A warning sign should only be enough if the setup works.


It seems we have meetups, promoting privacy and security (and Qubes) 
here in Copenhagen, so I might follow up with these guys. Promoting 
Qubes seems like a necessity these days.


Thanks again and take care.
Sincerely
Max

Hi awokd,

Thank you for your response. I have tried to reset BIOS, deselect UEFI / 
select legacy, but other errors come up. Missing hardware support VT-d, 
etc, and Interrupt Remapping, so it would be perfect if setup succeeded 
with another user, using this specific laptop.


The Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro has no DVD, so I hoped the USB would suffice. I 
might test this further with 3.2.


Thank you again for your reply. I've pasted screenshots here, if

Try legacy boot or burning to a DVD instead.

Re: Re: Re: [qubes-users] Re: Install Failing on Lenovo Yoya Pro 2

Hello again,

I tried to ignore the "Missing hardware support" error and found this to 
be a possible similar issue with wrongful detection (Since my BIOS shows 
vanderpool support):

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3208

It seems the installer accepted my configuration and the system gets 
installed(?).


My issue is now that the menu looks nothing like version 3, and I have 
no qubes related that works. I have "Qubes Global Settings", that fails. 
I cannot update dom0, and gets an error.


I've uploaded screenshot at imgur, and any help will be appreciated:

Legacy/UEFI boot mode should not affect processor features. Check to 
see
if there's a newer BIOS available for your laptop? If there is, it 
might

help with the installer too.

Unfortunately, Xen issues with UEFI are pretty common. Search this 
mailing

list for "EFI 4.0" (or maybe "Lenovo EFI 4.0" in your case). You could
also look at https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/ but it
might be more 3.2 specific. I've managed to work around UEFI issues on 
a

Lenovo before by booting Refind from a USB key, then the installer from
that. Sorry I don't have a silver bullet!

I can see from your screenshot that you're trying to install Qubes 4,
and you commented that you have no VT-D. You mayde sure its not just
disabled?


I have VT-x ,but not VT-d :
https://ark.intel.com/products/75460/Intel-Core-i7-4500U-Processor-4M-Cache-up-to-3_00-GHz


Write "lscpu" in your dom0 terminal, and find the CPU processor name.
Then you can yourself, or put the name here and we can do it for you,
quickly check if your CPU supports VT-D or not.


Thank you. Output is the above CPU.


Qubes 4 is much more strict towards missing hardware support than
Qubes 3.2. Specifically the security/privacy hardware support
features. Qubes is meant to be about security, by making it only
install on security enabling hardware, falls within reasonable so that
no one install Qubes on unsafe hardware, and thereby falsely believe
to be "safe".


A very solid point. A mere mention of the implications should suffice in 
my book, then the choice could be mine and my choice to compromise, 
evaluating the risk involved. Then I would not think to be 100% safe, 
but actually be safer than running a non qubes-OS.



The most dangerous kind of lack of security around, is ironically not
technical of nature. The most dangerous one, is the attitude, or
belief, that you're safe, when you in fact are not. Think of it like
ancient humans sleeping on the havana, and lions sneak around in the
grass. Because you're not on watch, i.e. build a house or barricaded a
cave entrance, then you'll likely die pretty darn fast. The same
applies to Qubes, this move, in my view, is the developers kindly
pushing us all to buy VT-D (and similar) security enabling hardware.


And that is a really good idea. Nudging works, but pushing works better 
;) I believe that I'm never truly safe, but only "safer" using Qubes, 
than if running another setup. Being a 100% safe is utopia in my book. 
Just want to go as far as my brain and hardware takes me. Apparently 
that is not far enough in version 4's case.



However, you can probably still install Qubes 3.3 and sleep on the
hanava just fine. The type of attacks that affect you, are rare
enough, to justify Qubes 3.2. on a no VT-D (or similar tech) machine.
And it's more likely to work on a non VT-D machine, than Qubes 4 which
require VT-D instead of just recommending it.


I'm waiting for my new notebook that has actual VT-d 
support(https://ark.intel.com/products/88194), so it seems that my 
pre-training on version 4 collapsed with the above setup :)



Also Qubes 3.2. should be updated for a while yet,
https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2016/09/02/4-0-minimum-requirements-3-2-extended-support/`


thank you very much for your time and feedback.

[qubes-users] USB security in Qubes (Yubikey, rubber ducky, etc.)

[max via qubes-users]

Hi there,

I'm not a seasoned qubes-user. I have used it for some months and beginning to 
get the hang of it.

I'm curiously trying to investigate how to use yubikey as a means to utilize 
ssh with my gpg keys, sudo or anything else that might work with yubikey and 
Qubes.

Plugging my new yubikey 4 in my Qubes workstation/desktop and pressing the "Y", 
actually produces output in the VM's that is "selected/in front" and not 
allowing me to select the specific VM in which I wan't the yubikey to act. It 
acts in whichever of them I selected.

That is probably because it acts as a keyboard and not as storage.

Is there a way to protect myself against this kind of rubber ducky stuff?

A kind of OTP/2FA on keyboards, so you need to accept input after typing a 
specific on screen code or something? Just so it doesn't blindly accept any 
stream of data? 

The closest thing I found online was Duckhunt for windows, but for obvious 
reasons, that doesn't work for me, and badUSB is just to difficult for me to 
understand how to counteract, since I need to trust hardware at some point.

Sincerely
Max

I have had similar experiences and used a tool called "gnome-tweak-tool" to 
correct the situation 
(https://www.militant.dk/2018/05/21/qubes-3-2-fedora-26-large-icons-and-large-fonts-on-lenovo-yoga-2-pro-high-resolution-laptop/)

But lately I think it has changed to "gnome-tweaks", so you can try that, if 
the first package is missing.

I actually used the upgrade guide on qubes-os homepage to use fedora-27 :
- https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/template/fedora/upgrade-25-to-26/

and switched the numbers. It requires editing the qubes repository file, 
changing "fc$releasever" or something just to fc26, then it works with 27. No 
guaranteees though :) since it's not tested, I guess.

I made a guide mostly for myself, if I have to do it all over again :)
https://www.militant.dk/2018/04/04/cloning-fedora-26-to-fedora-27-template-qubes-3-2/

The template seems to work for me, but I'm a not a demanding user, and only did 
it for the KeePassXC version upgrade.

I could not resolve the issue with the answers in this thread, but fedora 
mailinglist did help me resolve the issue. The solution provided is provided 
here:
https://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/fedora-users/msg488308.html

The command resolving the issue is:
sudo dnf --best --allowerasing --enablerepo=updates-testing update hplip

[qubes-users] fedora-28 upgrade to fedora-29 messes up the wireless network icon

[max via qubes-users]

Hi everyone,

After upgrading my fedora appVM's to use the fedora-29 template instead of 
fedora-28, sys-net icon is weird looking. When the network starts, the circular 
drawing is only creating red color and not deleting it, smudging  the icon out 
so you can hardly see how good your connection is, or if the connection is 
broken/unreachable.

fedora-28
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0m8gx9v2qt0t8ay/networkicon-1.png?dl=0

fedora-29
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xf1k1avfuono03x/networkicon-2.png?dl=0

Anyone know of a fix? I'm looking at the fedora sites, but haven't found 
anything yet.

Sincerely
Max

I did a reinstall of 4.0.1 last week and it went smooth, so you should be good, 
if your coreboot is fairly recent

I run Qubes 4.0.1 on Purism Librem 13v2 laptop with all the bells and whistles 
(16GB, nvme pro). 4k is only working @ 26Hz through the HDMI port, so that is 
the definition of laggy right there. Terrible. Horrible. The keyboard mapping 
is also faulty, from the factory, so you have to adjust it in rc.local or 
similar.

I wrote up my experiences a while back, and just updated it with the latest 4K 
annoyances: 
https://www.militant.dk/2018/02/22/ordering-a-purism-librem-13v2-to-run-qubes-4-0rc4/

These faults are actually a dealbreaker for me. I can't live with this device 
anymore, so I'm looking to switch it out with a mac mini size device or 
something similar, that can run 4k @ 60Hz, like normal machines, claiming to 
support 4k, should.

Enjoy

[qubes-users] Qubes on Intel NUC8i7hvk

[max via qubes-users]

Hi,

I'm contemplating purchasing the Intel NUC8i7HVK pc, as a replacement for 
my laptop. Before doing so, I would like to know of anyone attempting to do 
this, installing and running Qubes 4.x succes or failure. The HCL is scarce 
on NUC's, and the latest is not there. I'm also interested in knowing if 
anyone has tried Intel Optane in this type of configuration also. I've read 
the https://www.krisconstable.com/qubesos-on-an-intel-nuc/ which seems like 
a small hassle I'm willing to accept.

Sincerely
Max

Hi Andrew,

I can see that Joanna's key's are still to be 
trusted(https://www.qubes-os.org/security/pack/#how-to-obtain-verify-and-read), 
even though she is no longer an active member of the team 
(https://www.qubes-os.org/team/)

Is there a need for off-boarding former members, on-boarding newer ones(and 
their keys), or are there practical issues, regarding that, making it 
problematic?

I had success with entering a command like this just before doing the 
dist-upgrade(don't remember all the packages):


sudo apt install qubes-core-agent-dom0-updates qubes-core-agent-passwordless
-qubes-gpg-split qubes-img-converter qubes-input-proxy-sender qubes-mgmt-
salt-vm-connector qubes-pdf-converter qubes-thunderbird qubes-usb-proxy


That, I seem to recall, removed the need for package removal and made my 
first easily installed kali based on debian-10.

I actually believe that the general adoption of Qubes in the world would be 
larger if the windows guest support was better, you might actaully be able 
to get funding for your efforts 
(https://opencollective.com/qubes-os/expenses/). You might ask a QubesOS 
representative for that possibility(Andrew, maybe?) 

That might push the adoption to be broader and the sponsors to be more and 
helping Qubes to be even more widespread than it is now.

Max

I understand why, but it is not an issue for me, since I have small 
children :). The latest BIOS update did turn out for the better, and you 
can actually select "Quiet" in the BIOS. I run around 6-9 AppVM's with 
different specs.It is a noisy fan, though.

The big issue is support for the firmware, because Intel, bless their 
apparently black hearts, only support Windows on the machines, so I am 
hoping for better support soon. Wireless, sound, does not work and my 
Windows HVM shuts down unexpectedly after a few minutes.

Can't recommend it yet. running the latest 5.6.4-1 and it works apparently 
fast and nice, except for the flapping wireless, no sound a missing all 
USB. Nice graphics and speed.

[qubes-users] Build USB install with kernel 5+

[max via qubes-users]

Hi everyone,

Any help appreciated.

I managed to install a Qubes 4.0.3 on an Intel NUC10FNK. No VM's can start 
due to an error like: Internal error: Unable to reset PCI device 
:00:1f:6:no FLR, PM rset or bus reset available. Se log for details. 
The logs states unable to read console tty path 
/local/domain/[1,2,3,4]/console/tty resource temporary available.

The kernel in QubesOS seems quite old and not supporting a lot of new stuff 
in the NUC. I was trying to copy the kernel 5.5.7-1 and other rpm's  from 
the yum 
site(https://yum.qubes-os.org/r4.0/current/dom0/fc25/rpm/kernel-latest-5.5.7-1.qubes.x86_64.rpm)
 
to the installation, but a lot of dependencies is making it harder than it 
might could be. Any great ideas to build a new USB installer?

Or any advise in other directions?

Sincerely
Max

I tried:

[max@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubes-dom0-update 
--enablerepo=qubes-dom0-current-testing qubes-template-fedora-31
Using sys-firewall as UpdateVM to download updates for Dom0; this may take 
some time...
Last metadata expiration check: 2:24:09 ago on Sun Mar 22 08:07:23 2020.
No match for argument: qubes-template-fedora-31
Error: Unable to find a match: qubes-template-fedora-31
[max@dom0 ~]$ 

Last it seems I did something like sudo dnf install 
qubes-template-fedora-30, but I don't remember.

Any clues?

Sincerely
Max

I have Kali rolling installed and happy using it for CTF gaming and small 
stuff. I love Qubes and Kali together, but for reverse shell, etc. Andrew 
Douma wrote en evaluation some time ago, and recommended not using Qubes 
for pentesting.

Both suggestions are good, I believe.

Whatever programs you need in your AppVM's, needs to be installed in your 
template VM's, the AppVM's are based on. Then you have to "refresh" the 
menu, becuase you might not want everything in the menu. That is mentioned 
here:https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/managing-appvm-shortcuts/

However, I am still working on the Zoom install, hopefully, I can figure

This might work if you change 30 with 31:

follow the guide mentioned earlier:
