[qubes-users] template debian-9 no network (Q4r4) ?
you probably ticked update over Tor option when installing. templates do not connect to network directly, they use an updates proxy.

Re: [qubes-users] [HOWTO] use 2nd drive partition as 'home' drive.
I’ll disagree with comparison of btrfs to lvm. there is a very significant difference between btrfs and lvm. btrfs is like a namespace and lvm volumes are block devices. one can put a namespace on a block device. but yes, layers and layers of metadata processing required.

Re: [qubes-users] [HOWTO] use 2nd drive partition as 'home' drive.
I agree with Chris. Data specific to a qube should be stored on one of that qube’s volume. Backups work then. so in short, first create a qubes storage pool qvm-pool --add qvm-create -P if you go for a thin pool, create it first and use volume group and thin pool names as options for qvm-pool. P.S. I’m not sure lvm backend operates properly. File-based backend can also be used instead.

[qubes-users] Re: PFSense
I don't do hotplugging to pfSense. I've created separate Fedora based netvms with bridges named LAN and DMZ and connected pfSense to those at start. Then other VMs can use those netvms and connect either to a bridge or do the usual Qubes routing. Physycal NIC's can be added to tjose vms and bridges. In case of routing one needs to masquerade selectively on the bridge interface (qubes does masquerading on all interfaces except lo and vif+ by default). In case of bridging, vm's config file has to invoke vif-bridge script, provide source bridge name and vm's ip address. Then the script will do the rest. qvm-start --custom-config=... This may be not optimal as bridges consume cpu cycles and irq processing. On the other hand Qubes currently doesn't support HVM netvms so until v4.0 that's the only solution I see. I'll keep playing with it but I suspect virtualised pfSense is not a good idea for real life use. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] VPN-ProxyVM: "Leakproof VPN" by Rudd-O vs. "more involved" method in Qubes Wiki
Rudd-O's solution uses a separate routing table thus ensuring that all traffic from VMs go either to VPN or a "blackhole". This is more robust than relying on the main routing table that can be messed up. However, that requires relaxing the reverse path filter and I don't remember any mitigation for potential attacks by VPN servers exploiting this. The main advantage is that an rpm package is produced so there's an easy way for creating and maintaining multiple VPN VMs based on the same template = easier updates. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Display Calibration
the filename of the colour profile .icc-file is stored in the X atom _ICC_PROFILE. perhaps, if that is available then the correct profile can be selected by gnome settings manager which currently says there are no colour managed devices in vms.

Re: [qubes-users] Display Calibration
darktable and firefox can use a defined profile without colord. the profile has to be in a specific place and selected as the display profile (with colord option switched off). for firefox the full path to the profile should be entered in some property that I don't remember exactly right now but it starts with "gfx". the rendering intent and colour management mode is set there as well. those are documented by Mozilla, you need to google what those codes actually mean.

True. There's even no display object to have profile attributes, so colord is
useless.

Yes and no. ICC profiles consist of two parts, vcgt and colour correction. vcgt
is used by X server to set gamma and white point. it can be produced separately
("calibration file"), and loaded by dispwin in dom0. this corrects tint and
sets midtones as you need them (gamma).
when calibration is working then you can create a colour correction matrix for
the specific rendering intent you're going to use in icc aware applications.
that matrix can be saved as an icc profile for vms and manually selected in
apps. that profile should be used only with the calibration file that was
loaded when creating the icc profile. as I use only one display and at a
specific brightness setting then there's no need to change settings anymore.
when re-calibration is due then files can just be overwritten with new ones.
>
> Can you please describe in more details what and how you achieved?
follow the guide I referenced above and remember to transfer the calibration
file to dom0 and apply it there before proceeding. the settings in the guide
are rather crude but for a first pass they're ok. if it works for you then you
can try higher quality settings.

I used to have the same problem when I first tried Qubes R2 on Lenovo Yoga 2 13. ideapad_laptop module back then would work for all models except for my Yoga. nothing could help but patching the module and recompiling dom0 kernel. then around kernel version 3.18 it was fixed upstream and Qubes kernel has been good for me ever since. live distros based on Debian stable ( kernel version 3.16) can never initialise the built-in wifi card. i found the patch on some Ubuntu forum. you haven't provided any information about the kernel and Qubes versions that you've tried but I hope this information can be helpful. and check your bios settings just in case. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Newbie Qubes questions.. please help!
Think of Whonix as a possible compartment of your digital life that gives more anonymity online. It would be more or less securely separated from other compartments. In order to save space and admin effort common parts of these compartments (i.e., the root filesystem, kernels, modules) are made as templates. Templates cannot be persistently modified by a running vm based on that template. this is quite different from plain virtualbox machines. moreover, the type of virtualisation of Linux-based vms is different for the time being. you can compile your own kernel for dom0 but then you're on your own. there is a good reason to stick to LTS version though. no boot partition won't stop from decrypting and mounting a LUKS partition from any live DVD/ISO if the passphrase is known. wrong LUKS header may actually help (if you carry the correct one on a USB stick) but that is a very dangerous route. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: Request for test: Re: [qubes-users] Fedora 24?
I upgraded all fedora-based vms to 24 about a month ago when I noticed a qubes repo for that. all upgrades went smooth but I suggest backups first because of different versions of software. things may break if you switch back to 23. I had this problem with remmina, it couldn't work properly with config from 23 but after changes in 24 and switching back to 23 it was again broken. in the end I just stopped using it. I think f24 is more memory hungry. because of that I created a separate update vm so that RAM can be quickly freed up after updating dom0. I haven't noticed any downgrade in performance but that may happen for users with limited RAM and swaps on HDDs. f24 pushes substantial amount of updates daily, however delta RPMs don't consume much bandwidth. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Recovery Disk & Suggest Live Linux CD to recovery system like WinPE
I think nowadays many live installers that have capability to install on encrypted partitions give possibility use the tools in a terminal window. For instance, when I realised that somehow only a swap partition got encrypted in a fresh Qubes install I launched Manjaro live ISO, dd root partition to a temp location, created a new dm-crypt/LUKS partition, mounted that, dd root partition back, chroot'ed into that updated crypttab and grub config, rebooted and was happy. I think it would be most appropriate to use a distro with a recent kernel not much older or newer than Qubes dom0 kernel.

[qubes-users] Display Calibration and Audio Equalizer for Dom0 ?
I have calibrated my yellow screen using argyllcms. I don't attach usb devices to dom0 so installed it in sys-usb as well. used https://encrypted.pcode.nl/blog/2013/11/24/display-color-profiling-on-linux/ as a rough guide. to get the calibration done you just need to run dispcal and then transfer the calibration file to dom0. then test it with "dispwin xxx.cal" in dom0. if happy, create an autostart item with that command (probably, using the full path to the calibration file) and you're done. I went further and created an icc profile for use in firefox and photo software. note that some displays use proprietory colour-mixing algorithms so Linux tools may be ineffective with them :( (e.g., pentile matrix on some very high resolution screens) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Suggestions for running media server?
No. 4 makes sense. sys-usb shouldn't know the encryption keys. encrypted block device can be attached to a server vm where it would be appropriately decrypted and mounted, possibly from dom0 via qvm-run (you can start a vm, attach storage, decrypt and mount it by a short script using qvm-* command line tools) . server software should be run as a different user that can't login or use sudo. enabling services is a bit tricky in template-based vms, so the easiest solution is to create a small template with just the bare necessities for the server software, enable the service in it and then use it just for one server vm. I would suggest attaching that server vm to a separate firewall vm. that way allowing incoming traffic in iptables should be both easier and more secure. firewall rules are created in different scripts in proxyvm vs netvm and appvm. follow Qubes documentation and don't forget to make scripts executable :) although I used to run file and web servers on a Qubes PC I now tend to think that Qubes is meant to protect clients, not servers. P.S. Qubes networking uses NAT so LAN won't actually see any broadcast messages from the server unless it runs in a netvm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

just a word of caution, your network cards and thunderbolt devices will have access to all memory they can address and at least one USB controller will be in dom0 as the keyboard is USB. that controller actually has an external port. don't count on Qubes to prevent hardware attacks or keep it safe from buggy drivers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Custom initramfs
after giving it a thought I decided keep usb devices out of dom0. the solution for debian is real 2FA but ykfde is for lazy people. I gave it as an example of dracut hooks. theoretically you can rearrange hooks so that yubikey authentification happens before rd.qubes.hide_all_usb is processed but there is a risk that qubes hooks might fail and leave usb controllers in dom0. if you already have a controller in dom0 then perhaps it wouldn't make security worse. while initially I thought it would be interesting to try, the only situation when yubikey could actually improve security is having to boot a Qubes PC under unavoidable surveilance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Re: What do you think about the idea of a FileVM?
I used to run samba server on Archlinux inside Qubes. Actual data was stored on a separate volume group and mounted in the server vm on boot. The main difficulty was to do routing and firewalling properly on every change of network topology. The main risk was that eventually many vms had to be connected to one proxyvm and that was not safe. When I realised that the data is more often accessed from outside than inside I just created a NAS (Turnkey fileserver running in an unprivileged container actually :) ) Having done all that I believe there should be no traditional network services inside Qubes. A storage domain owning storage controllers and disconnected from network would make sense but it would require great care in dealing with concurrent file access. And it definitely must not have access to images of other vms. I agree with Axon. A need for simulteneous access can be justified only in case of different OS'es. My solution to that is simple - ditch Windows :))) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
