[qubes-users] Re: Boot Problem
For the Precision, I fortunately had an Intel NIC (Precision M4700 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/-5Vbi5vhbms) but experienced the Broadcom pains too. Here's some ideas: You can get an RTL8187 for about $5 on eBay, works great. I would remove the Broadcom wifi card and swap in a Realtek wifi card, disable the integrated NIC ethernet card in Bios, and install Qubes in legacy mode - not UEFI (in case you need Grub for recovery options later). In Bios, this should be in System configuration, Integrated NIC and uncheck those boxes (check the whole menu for other locations too). If you need ethernet, then after install you can look online on how to install the specific Broadcom drivers into sys-net VM's template (if you can find a safe source). Then reboot into bios and re-enable the ethernet NIC, and after boot in the Qubes sys-net VM settings move the PCI bridge for the ethernet controller into the "selected" column and try restarting the VM and using the ethernet card. If it works reboot to see if everything is still successful. If it won't boot, then just disable ethernet again in Bios and try maybe switching the sys-net VM template to Debian and installing the drivers there in case you get the support.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: boot problem on my production qubes (urgent!)
Thanks a lot guys! It works again and I learned something new... The Qubes 4.0 installation changed the EFI boot entry. With the following command I fixed it: "efibootmgr -v -c -L Qubes -l /EFI/qubes/xen.efi -d /dev/nvme0n1p1" (With hint from awokd and https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2381#issuecomment-294405605) See you ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On April 11, 2018 3:49 PM, 'awokd' via qubes-users wrote: > On Wed, April 11, 2018 1:17 pm, berto0...@gmail.com wrote: > > > On Wednesday, April 11, 2018 at 7:05:04 PM UTC+7, 97a6sd67fs9 wrote: > > > > > In order not to ruin my 3.2 production installation I bought a new NVME > > > > > > SSD.

That might > mess up the the device names if the configs don't use the device UUIDs. I think it's related to this. My guess is, when you installed 4.0, it overwrote the boot menu entry in your EFI firmware, so now it doesn't work for 3.2. If you were using legacy mode boot for 3.2, try to set that first in your boot order. If EFI mode, you might have to boot into Qubes recovery mode (possibly from the 3.2 DVD), then repair the EFI boot entry. The command will be something like: sudo efibootmgr -c -L Qubes32 -d /dev/sda -p 1 -l \\EFI\\qubes\\xen.efi Note the "/dev/sda" and "-p 1" might vary. "-p 1" is the partition number for your EFI partition (and this is what might have changed with your 4.0 install. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Using Manual's advice I was able to get into my frozen laptop. I then used Andrew's advice to backup all of my vm's except for sys-net and sys-firewall. Then I reinstalled Qubes OS v. 3.2. I have figured out what went wrong. Qubes on my laptop started freezing after a recent update. The update replaced qubes-netvm.service with a new qubes-netvm.service. This overwrote changes I made to qubes-netvm.service to make my Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5761 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe and BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter work. Unfortunately I did not backup the qubes-netvm.service to document the changes I made. So I am trying to remember what I did to get these cards working. But everything I have tried has not worked. I did the "Assigning Devices" work around listed here https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/assigning-devices/ and This does not seem to matter on the BCM5761 Ethernet card. But it does seem necessary for the wireless card. Right now I have the wireless card disabled in the BIOS figuring that I will get each card working one at a time. So the Ethernet card shows up and I have it assigned to the sys-net vm but it will not get an IP address. I have live booted the laptop with Knoppix and I can get an IP address and use the Internet so I know the Ethernet card, the cable, and the residential gateway are all working fine so it has to be some kind of configuration problem in Qubes.

I disabled qubes-netvm.service and my system will now shutdown and startup without any kernel command line options. Of course this means I have no network connections to anything. If I enable the qubes-netvm.service and start sys-net the Qubes OS freezes up and I have to power cycle the laptop. How do I fix the qubes-netvm.service? It seems to be causing the problem but what do I check next? Thank you, Craig Jesson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Re: boot problem after switching bios from uefi to legacy to uefi
Quoting jo...@vfemail.net: hi. since i saw multiple people posting things about aem, i thought i would also setup aem. i looked at https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-antievilmaid/blob/master/anti-evil-maid/README and saw i need to use legacy. i installed my system while booting uefi and then switched to legacy. i was not sure whether the system could boot again, but if it did not boot, i would switch back again. after switching to legacy, the system did not boot (i am not sure wheter it should boot normally after switchin, of if that does not work). after switching back to uefi, it still does not boot is there a way to fix this? also when looking at the bios, i did not find an option for TPM or TXT. but there is some stuff like secure boot mode/control with pks (could this be it?) or does my laptop mybe not have this feature? some system info: msigp60 bios version E16GDIMS.30B (build date: 23/08/2013) should i update the bios? (maybe the old bios version does not display the tpm option) i am grateful for any ideas. wit best regards. joe mitchell managed to fix this! the problem seems to be: efi forgot the entry i found a guide via: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=204585#p1063821 -> http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/installation.html#register here my guide for perople as stupid as me. (maybe you can add this to your doc) 1) create a qubes install media (have fun verifying the master key again) 2) boot it and select the recovery entry (last entry) 3) select continue (oprion 1) 4) enter your key 5) hit enter (to get a shell) 6) chroot /mnt/sysimage 7) fdisk -l to find your efi dev (we assume it is /dev/sda1) 8) use efibootmgrt to fix your efi. efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 1 -l \\EFI\\qubes\\xen.efi -L qubes 9) reboot on lenovo you may have to use a different name. according to http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/installation.html#register : 'Also note that at least one manufacturer (Lenovo) ships products with a known bug that causes the system to refuse to boot unless the boot loader's name (NewLoader in this example) is either Windows Boot Manager or Red Hat Enterprise Linux.' with best regards. joe mitchell ps.: does someone know a good mail-provider where you can create an anonymous free account (via tor and no phone number etc required). openmailbox has currently disabled new accounts and vfemail delays my last mail by 11h (currently the delay is only 6717 seconds, so this seemed to be a temp problem) - ONLY AT VFEmail! - Use our Metadata Mitigator to keep your email out of the NSA's hands! $24.95 ONETIME Lifetime accounts with Privacy Features! 15GB disk!
