[qubes-users] Re: How to install software on templates (Qubes 4.0)

2017-12-27 Thread Eric Scoles
I've tried manually placing the Softmaker Office 2018 RPM into the fedora-25 
template and installing is using 'rpm' from the command line. This did cause 
the applications to become available in templates, but they won't run because 
apparently the RPM creates files in user space. Next up I'll probably just run 
it in the VM & see if it creates the files I need.

I don't know what you're asking me to try.

Re: [qubes-users] How to install software on templates (Qubes 4.0)

2017-12-26 Thread Eric Scoles
Sorry, I guess I'm not understanding your answer. The 'usual way' to install in 
an upstream distro would be to connect to the network. Again, as I understand 
it, in Qubes 4, we can't do that anymore from templates: 


Templates don't have Net-VM's in Qubes 4. All updates are run over the 
Qubes-tools, and are no longer networked.

[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/aBE-U9YKhjU/0t7hspsbAgAJ]



What I imagine I'll try next is to get the RPM into the template filesystem and 
use command line tools to install it. Is that what you mean by "the usual 
methods"? That still leaves the package without a clear way to be updated.

As far as the 'trusted' or 'not trusted' nature of a particular piece of 
software: We need to install what we need to install. If the system prevents 
people from doing what they need to do, they won't use the system -- that's 
axiomatic. So that's a net reduction in security. ('The best security is the 
security you use.')

[qubes-users] How to install software on templates (Qubes 4.0)

2017-12-26 Thread Eric Scoles

Per this, in Qubes 4.0 software is to be installed using Qubes tools.
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/aBE-U9YKhjU/0t7hspsbAgAJ

Is there at this time any documentation of how that's done? The current list of 
CLI tools doesn't seem to include anything that relates. 

I looked at Yum Extender under System Tools, but don't see any way to either 
install arbitrary RPMs or add new repos.

This:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/334117/how-to-add-software-sources-for-dom0-in-qubes
...suggests that the correct way to do it is to temporarily add a repo, then 
remove it when you're done installing. 

1. Is that the canonical method?
2. How would we retrieve updates?
3. What if we need to install a package that's not available via a repo?

[qubes-users] Re: Installation "Couldn't obtain the File System Protocol Interface."

2017-12-23 Thread Eric Scoles
Currently trying to install on an Intel NUC. In order to get past this issue I 
had to disable UEFI boot, leaving only legacy. 

(Still haven't gotten past the first graphical install screen, but at least 
that change got me past the initial text-only screen.)
