Hi Nicklas!

So besides following the steps described here under "Installation freezes 
before getting to Anaconda": https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/

I blacklisted Nouveau adding the following line as kernel option: 
"nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off"

With that you should be able to install Qubes. During the installation process 
the mousepad wasn't working for me, but you can do it anyway just using the 
keyboard or attaching an external one. After the installation it was working 
again though.

And finally, after the installation, in order to fix suspend, I had to add the 
following also as kernel option: "mem_sleep_default=deep"

And I think that's it. Hope this helps!

Thank you Yassine! now I fully understand why this happens.

I don't really care if I have to reboot to make it work, but the problem is 
even after reboot, it is not detected, so I have to turn off sys-firewall + 
sys-net, unplug the adapter and plug it again and finally start the VMs again 
for it to work, what is a bit of a PITA. I'd be happy if it was recognized 
directly when booting, even if a later disconnects make it stop working... Have 
any of you been able to achieve something like this at least?

Thank you!!

I made it work using permissive mode, although I don't think it is really 
needed. Now I'm having the unplugging/plugging issue described here:

This is great Brian! thanks for your help!

I have already figure it out how to make it work thanks to your description, 
and something similar is happening now with the plug/unplugging... I'll try to 
dig deeper but at least now I can use it!

Best regards.

Ok I just made it work playing with permissive mode: 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/assigning-devices/

But only if I add it to the sys-net VM directly instead of assigning it trough 
sys-usb.

Did you figured it out Laurent? I have the very same problem with the very same 
adapter...

Same thing happens with DELL DA 300 also. I have seen it working once, but not 
sure how it happened and I couldn't make it work again... so I know is possible!

Thank you in advance.

[qubes-users] Re: Updated HCL report - Dell Precision 5520

2018-12-17 Thread smvicente
So I have a Precision 5530, and after some similar tweaks to those described 
here, I managed to install Qubes 4.0. Everything seem to be working perfectly 
fine (Including Wi-Fi) except for the Ethernet adapter that I need to connect 
to the USB-C (Thunderbolt) port. The adapter is detected and I can use other 
connectors (DP, USBs) but the ethernet adapter is not listed. I've tried 
assigning devices, connecting it to sys-net, etc but no luck...

Asking this here because in the Precision 5520 you also need a similar adapter 
if you want to use Ethernet... so hopefully you have figured it out already?

Thank you in advance.
