Aw: Re: Re: [qubes-users] Installation freezes before displaying installer - UEFI-Troublshooting impossible
Hello Claudia, hello Qubes-Community, now I'm here at the end having the same problem since monday: installation freezes before displaying installer with black screen... What did I try in the meantime: 1) Recreate a usb-stick following completely the Installation-Guide on "https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/installation-guide/". But before $ sudo dd if=Qubes-R4.0.3-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1048576 && sync I do $ sudo umount sdb1 so the plugged-in usb-drive is really totally unmounted before writing to /dev/sdb. Ends again in the read-only usb-stick, where I can't modify the BOOTX64.cfg. Then I tried to use the RUFUS-Tool under Windows and write the usb-drive in "iso-image-mode" to try to get writing-acess and then doing the installation again with modified files for troubleshooting. I got a writeable usb-stick, modified the BOOTX64.cfg with all the things mentioned on "https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/": options=console=vga efi=no-rs # noexitboot=1 # mapbs=1 But now, the usb-stick boots up but the installation freezes as same as before displaying installer. > It should be mounted as vfat, not iso9660. You can try mounting it as vfat with `mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt`, but I don't think it'll work without being rewritten. Yes thanks for this tip, but don't work, too. Change to "Legacy-Boot" isn't possible in the boot-menu of my maschine. Now I'm on my end and very very sad, that I won't able to work with Qubes. I think, it is the fu**ing NVIDIA-Card (1660Ti), which I couldn't deselect from the base-configuration of my new laptop. Has anyone another idea which can solve the problem? I wish all a nice weekend. Regards from Leipzig - Germany, Andreas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Good evening Claudia and all the other readers, > What was the full command you used to write the ISO to the USB drive? Are you absolutely sure you wrote it to /dev/sdb and not /dev/sdb1? I followed completely the Installation-Guide on "https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/installation-guide/": $ sudo dd if=Qubes-R4.0.2-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1048576 && sync -and- $ sudo dd if=Qubes-R4.0.3-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1048576 && sync both under an Ubuntu-Linux and yes I wrote to /dev/sdb not sdb1. I tried also the RUFUS-Tool under Windows, discribed in the Installation-Guide above, with "dd-image-mode". However, everytime it ends in a read-only filesystem on the created usb-drive, where I can't modify the files, which are all necessary for troubleshooting. And everytime it creates a linux-file-system, so that the usb-drives(s) can't be used under windows again... but also can't formated under Linux. So I now zero out the drives with "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb", in hope, that I after that can format the usb-drives under Linux with FAT-Format to use it again. Than I will at last idea use the RUFUS-Tool and write the usb-drive in "iso-image-mode" to try to get writing-acess and then doing the installation again with modified files for troubleshooting. > It should be mounted as vfat, not iso9660. You can try mounting it as vfat with `mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt`, but I don't think it'll work without being rewritten. I'll try this, after my laptop is ready with zero-out the first usb-drive... unfortunately it needs a lot of time. After that I don't know, what can be done yet. But thanks a lot for your answers and suggestions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

The content of the original downloaded *.iso-file from QubesOS is read-only, so it transfered it to the usb-stick with dd read-only, too. Actually I tried it with the ISO-File for version R4.0.3, too, but still the same problem as with R4.0.2. The ISO-File-Content, what is transfered to USB-Stick is read-only.

Actually, are you getting "Read-only filesystem" or "Permission denied" when you mount the first partition of the USB drive (not the iso file) and edit BOOTX64.cfg? Also, try a different flash drive if you have one. It's possible it's showing up as write protected for one reason or another which causes the fs to be mounted readonly. Tip: when asking for help, consider posting screenshots and/or copies of the exact errors or terminal outputs along with the exact commands you ran, as it helps us identify the problem and get you to a solution faster.

Once you write the image file with dd, you should be able to mount the ext3 /boot filesystem read/write just like you would any partition on a flash drive. It should no longer appear as an iso once it's written to the flash drive, it should show up like an external hard drive would. You may have to unplug it and plug it back in for the kernel to recognize the new partitions on it. Also, make sure you're writing to /dev/sdb and not /dev/sdb1 for example. > - deactivate Nvidia graphics card from discrete to hybrid-modus in the BIOS, > in hope, that will use > the Intel-Grafik first, nothing. > - deactivate the Audio- and the WiFi-/Bluetooth-Adapter, nothing. > > - can't find any legacy-mode-option in BIOS to change it from EFI to Legacy... > > I'm not really experienced in Linux, worked 1,5 years with Ubuntu.

I would first try to edit the /boot files as mentioned above. Another idea is to enable nomodeset in the installer. Open /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg on the usb drive (mount the first partition, which is the EFI system partion, and edit /EFI/qubes/xen.cfg) and add "nomodeset" at the end of the "kernel=..." line. Alternatively, I once had an issue with the installer freezing, and I was able to get around it by repeatedly pressing ctrl-alt-f2 early during the boot process, and about 50% of the time it would change TTYs without freezing and then I could switch back to the graphical installer on TTY1. I don't know if it has worked for anyone else, but it might be worth a try. Finally, you have a couple of different options for Qubes image versions. R4.0, R4.0.1, R4.0.2 (which has a non-security-related bug which may or may not affect you), and R4.0.3-rc1. Once brought fully up to date, these all result in the exact same system ultimately. There are often slight variations between them, with regards to the installer, kernel, and so on, so one might work for you and another might not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Installation freezes before displaying installer - UEFI-Troublshooting impossible
Hello Everybody, I want to install QubesOS R4.0.2 on a Tuxedo Book XC1510 (Intel i7-9750H, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti, 32 GB RAM, Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 SSD, insydeH2O BIOS 1.07.14RTR1) I downloaded the *.iso, multiple verified key-fingerprints, signatures and checksums and "dd" the iso-image on a 16GB USB-2.0-Stick with Ubuntu. If I start up, the installation freezes before displaying the installer as discribed in "https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/". I tried the following things: - troubleshooting as discribed in "https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/" , but: the bootable USB-Stick I created with "dd" from the *.iso-file is "read-only" and trying to modify "EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.cfg" directly in the *.iso is the same problem: the system mounted it read-only, so I can't modify anything. - deactivate Nvidia graphics card from discrete to hybrid-modus in the BIOS, in hope, that will use the Intel-Grafik first, nothing. - deactivate the Audio- and the WiFi-/Bluetooth-Adapter, nothing. - can't find any legacy-mode-option in BIOS to change it from EFI to Legacy... I'm not really experienced in Linux, worked 1,5 years with Ubuntu. But I read the full Qubes-Documentation, learned about this fantastic system as much as I can, informed about it over some days with youtube-videos, too. And now I want this amazing OS so much, but that "EFI- and/or Nvidia-Thing" stops me... Can somebody help me or give more infos, how I can solve the problem? Thank You so much.
