I have a couple consistent problems. 1) IMG_20190328_004611.jpg is still happening every time I load my computer, but it does not seem to affect Qubes functionality. It just takes a while longer to boot up. Only way I'd know how to narrow that down is to temporarily disable components one at a time and see if it goes away. Possibly storage related, so I'd start by pulling that PCI-e adapter first. 2) My motherboard doesn't support NVME but I do have a PCI-e adapter for a NVME SSD I bought, and I have that plugged in. The SSD is recognized by Qubes, and now I want to pass that through to my Windows 10 HVM and install the Win10 on it, for maximum speed. I don't know how to discover the backend for it, though. I am looking through the list of PCI devices in the qubes settings gui, and I don't see anything which resembles it. Try "lspci -tv". It will give the same list, but in tree view it might be more clear. 3) Another problem I have is that I cannot discover my hardware specs in gui mode, and I also do not know the terminal commands to discover it. I am looking for something like a "system properties" or "computer management" in Windows. "xl info" will give you some, but if you search on keywords like "Fedora hardware specs" you should find more commands. 4) Lastly, I think I made a mistake on which drive I installed Qubes on. I put it on a 2tb Firecuda drive instead of a 1TB Sata SSD. I would like to change that, by cloning the Firecuda partitions to the SSD drive. I don't know if that will work, but I cannot discover that unless I manage to find out how to shrink the partition to beneath 1TB so my Acronis 2019 boot disk can clone the partitions. How do I do this? The quickest way to fix this would be to temporarily disconnect that 2TB drive then reinstall Qubes, now that you have a functional process. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Re: Qubes cannot install on Asus x79 Sabertooth and 2 AMD GPUs. Need advice.
Update: I'm having some luck now since I randomly decided to change back my SATA controller to AHCI and use a new hard drive. Qubes started installing. I won't be able to update my question again for many hours, because I'm transferring data from my fast hard drive so I can use it for the Qubes install. But I'm sure I will have plenty more questions! I expect I will have difficulty with making a Windows 10 HVM and getting GPU passthrough for it (I have a whole separate GPU and hard drive set aside just for the Windows 10 HVM). When I get Qubes installed and updated, I will see if I can update my mobo on the compatibility list with the steps I used to finally get it working. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
