Chris, thanks for the input. I'm attempting the BIOS update route today, if I 
can get the computer to boot from the upgrade drive... Lenovo claims there are 
security fixes in the latest BIOS version as well, so I figure it can't exactly 
hurt to try it.

Also Frank (not quoted above, sorry): thanks, I'll look into hibernate-to-disk 
settings. If that's turned on somewhere I definitely think that could be the 
culprit. Once upon a time I actually had a Gentoo laptop that could do it, but 
that took a lot of work and a custom initramfs.

Cheers all,
//MLF.

[qubes-users] S3 sleep on Thinkpad T460 issues

2017-03-16 Thread Martin L . Fällman
Hi list! So, I have an issue with my Thinkpad T460. What seems like randomly, 
it will not wake up from S3 sleep. Opening and closing the lid, hitting the 
power button and doing a little jig on the keyboard does nothing. The indicator 
light is however pulsating, and I can get the FnLock light to light up by 
pressing Fn+Esc.

I'm fairly certain it happens when it's slept for a long time, e.g. overnight, 
and it may be related to putting it to sleep with an Ethernet cable and/or 
power connected. I've set the TPM to the discrete chip and done some other BIOS 
fixes that have gotten sleep and shutdown to work properly most of the time, 
but this issue still eludes me, and it doesn't seem like I can find anything 
about it in the logs either.

Can't find anything on the issue in the list archives, so I figured I should 
bring it to the list to see if anyone has an idea of what could be going wrong. 
I have logs from my attempt to suspend yesterday, which ended with the computer 
not waking up this morning: http://pastebin.com/yny6QL4j

As you can see, first there's some sort of i915 warning, then xfdesktop dumps 
core, and then systemd merrily goes on its way suspending the system. I suspect 
the issue is in there somewhere-could be i915, right?

I'm also running the stock BIOS revision but I've prepared an update USB that 
hopefully will allow me to update to the latest version. Could maybe resolve 
the issue, no?

Any input or ideas appreciated...

Cheers,

Just tried it, yep. This is strange!

This is the problem: the files are nowhere to be found. Somewhere they do get 
written because the file copy mechanism identifies that there's already an 
object there by the same name and it shouldn't be overwritten, but there's no 
way for me to find it. I did a proper clean re-install of the Windows tools, 
and set the default user for my W7 HVM to the correct name (the one I log in 
as) in qvm-prefs, but the problem persists.

Wherever the files I send to the VM gets written, I can't find them from inside 
the VM, and they persist between restarts. Could it be that they're written to 
private.img but somewhere Windows doesn't consider "real" for whatever reason? 
Tried reading the source too but I'm not a C programmer and can't make heads or 
tails of what's going on.

Best,
//MLF.

[qubes-users] Win7, qvm-copy-to-vm, QubesIncoming location?

2017-03-03 Thread Martin L . Fällman
New Qubes user here. Running a Win7 VM for many work tasks. Once I set it up I 
could copy-to-vm just fine, with a QubesIncoming folder showing up and 
everything. Then I domain-joined the W7 install and got a new user account, the 
user account I set up during install was renamed admin and I dont use it unless 
I have to now.

 

All of a sudden, copy-to-vm doesnt work as expected. The file is clearly sent 
just as normal. But I cant find it anywhere on the W7 hard drive. Whats weirder 
is, if I try to send it a 2nd time I get the error message

qfile-agent: Fatal error: File copy: not overwriting existing file. Clean 
QubesIncoming dir, and retry copy; Last file: test.txt (error type: File exists)

 

So, my guess is that its written somewhere to the W7 disk, but qfile-agent is 
confused as to where exactly it should end up, and its probably written to a 
dir that Windows for some reason doesnt even see. Is there anywhere in the 
settings for the VM where I can change the incoming directory to match my 
current user profile?

 

(Ive tried to re-install the Windows tools as well; didnt make any difference.)

 

Thanks!
