After the install, I did have the problem of the reboot loop, but no grub screen to pause at. I fixed this by booting off the install media again and went into the rescue mode. I then edited /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg and removed the iommu=no-igfx from two different lines. After that I was able to boot normally. What I don't know is if anything will update that file again. From https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2953 that you need to edit /etc/default/grub to make sure grub changes persist, but I'm not finding anything similar for EFI. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Hello, I've installed 4.0-rc1 on Intel i5-7200u Asus UX410UA laptop. System was rebooting after grub menu in loop until I removed 'iommu=no-igfx' option, then it boots successfully. System does not have discrete GPU, VT-i is on, booting in CMS (BIOS Legacy mode), because in EFI mode system reboots immediately after selection of any option in installation image's boot menu. I have problems with touchpad, though: it works with 0.1-1 sec lags, pointer jumps here and there. Sometimes it freezes for minutes. Several tens of i2c_hid errors added to dmesg per second: i2c_hid i2c-ELAN1200:00: i2c_hid_get_input: incomplete report (16/16466).

It is enough to list the VMs you want and all other are automatically excluded. This is really important because it is fast and avoids errors.

Does it offers auto-completion? Is it possible to have something like a desktop widget, showing all running AppVMs? Would a toggle to permanently expand/unfold the manager-widget do? Or do you also want additional features accessible from that QM-widget? It seems that we need to restart Qubes 4rc1 after reinstallation at least one or two times, so that the widgets are working - maybe this should be added to the documentation (?) I have also updated dom0, maybe this brought also the solution? Now all running VMs are shown in the widget, before I could only see sys-net and sys-firewall there. IDEA "QuickstartBar": Could we get something like a shortcut so that a launch bar will open up, where I can enter either bash commands or something like: untrusted:firefox and then Firefox opens in my AppVM named untrusted (general syntax: AppVM:Command/Program? task completion would even be easier? Beyond what you can do with alt-f2 (in xfce) + searching + arrow key navigation? As mentioned, I havent used that before, can this be used without mouse-navigation? I've to enter untrusted: Terminal but when hitting enter, nothing happens, except a red stop sign. need to find out the syntax of that quick launcher, having the graphical menu available from the quick-launcher is a nice addon, but this needs more time, then just using the start menu. The AppVM widget is only showing sys-usb, sys-net, sys-firewall, not other AppVMs which are running. If this concerns VMs you've created yourself, this should probably be fixed in the next update. Or do you mean the 'devices' widget? This has been fixed, after some restarts, I can now also see usb devices in the device widget and can attach them from there to the running VMs - very nice. I like having block and usb devices in one view. What would be nice, but I don't know if this can be done: If a device has been attached to a VM, maybe it can be highlighted or marked with a symbol in the device widget menu. As such I can see directly which devices are attached. currently I need to open the menu entry and I can then see, which AppVM has the device attached (can be identified because it is grayed out and offers an eject button). The "Create Qubes VM" menu entry could also be enhanced so that we have the option to create a clone from an existing VM. Maybe via something like an additional option "Clone from " Not sure I'd use this often enough for it to make sense -- isn't this part of what dispvms are for? Maybe you are right, but now I have to go to terminal to clone a vm. What I am doing is, that I leave the default templates untouched and create a clone of them, which I then use for my AppVMs. This makes sure that I can always test an AppVM with the "original" default Qubes template for troubleshooting. Working with USB devices: Could we improve the handling of usb devices. Currently it seems that it is impossible to add a usb-device to a VM without touching the terminal. Huh? That should be there now, even if it doesn't look the part, and isn't very intuitive (devices widget in notification area? Or doesn't that do usb devices yet? (I can't test this myself due to a different bug)). Solved, my mistake as mentioned above, it seems that Qubes needs one or two restarts until the Widgets are working correctly. A possible bug (?): If you shutdown sys-usb the USB-devices are gone from the list, and won't come back when restarting sys-usb. Another strange effect: I can then see entries called QEMU_QEMU_USB_Tablet_42 for every running AppVM. Is this the virtual USB Hub in every AppVM? I think this should be hidden from the widget. From user perspective I would like to get a notification popup as soon as I attach something to my laptop, then allowing me to choose with the next click where to attach this device to.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Qubes OS 4.0 first release candidate (rc1) has been released!
Hello, after having problems to install Qubes on my X200 I have installed 4rc1 on my other laptop (Lenovo W540). Installation was sucessfull and the only tweak I needed was to remove iommu=no-igfx from grub boot. I have uses Qubes 4rc1 now for ~2,5 hours, my feedback so far: positive: * in Qubes 3.2 the whole system froozes for a few seconds when a new VM was started. In Qubes 4rc1 this seems to be solved. list of things that might need improvement, meant as constructive feedback - of course I am very thanksfull to the work of the Qubes Team. * when launching an application from the start menu I would like to see a notification about the user interaction. Currently nothing happens, if the new apps needs a few seconds to start the user might click again * Notifications - I haven't seen any notifications at all, like starting/stopping of VMs or when a new USB-device has been attached. Would like to see the notification from Qubes 3.2 in Qubes 4 * After setting up various AppVMs, working with templates, I feel that Qubes Manager is definitly missing as it allowed me to have a quick look, what is currently running and also attaching block devices was much easier. If I plugin an USB harddrive I see no notification and I need to attach devices via terminal, to much user interactions, compared to a graphical solution * Positioning of Blockdevice and Running VMs widgets: I see my self moving the mouse from left to right a lot, just to start programs and get information (from the widgets) - again Qubes Manager was much more comfortable. Is it possible to have something like a desktop widget, showing all running AppVMs? * IDEA "QuickstartBar": Could we get something like a shortcut so that a launch bar will open up, where I can enter either bash commands or something like: untrusted:firefox and then Firefox opens in my AppVM named untrusted (general syntax: AppVM:Command/Program? task completion would even be easier? * The AppVM widget is only showing sys-usb, sys-net, sys-firewall, not other AppVMs which are running. * In the "Start Menu" (left side) I would like to additional commands like (Start VM, Shutdown VM, Remove VM) maybe separated or at the beginning or end of the menu? Remove VM should of cause show a dialog which needs further user interaction. * The "Create Qubes VM" menu entry could also be enhanced so that we have the option to create a clone from an existing VM. Maybe via something like an additional option "Clone from " * It seems impossible to hide VMs or VM-templates from the "Start Menu", whoch could be done via qvm-prefs in Qubes 3.2. Why? This setting was very usefull. * Working with USB devices: Could we improve the handling of usb devices. Currently it seems that it is impossible to add a usb-device to a VM without touching the terminal. Maybe we need an usb widget or a submenu in the USB-App-VM? From user perspective I would like to get a notification popup as soon as I attach something to my laptop, then allowing me to choose with the next click where to attach this device to. If I am attaching a device it is most time because I need to get this device into an AppVM. * Fonts/Display Resolution seems to be different compared to Qubes 3.2. My Laptop has a 3K resolution 2880x1620 Pixels. In 4rc1 the qubes window frames (which seems to be rendered in dom0) are small, but the content in the window (content of the AppVM) is using a bigger font (DPI-size). How can this be resolved? * qvm-top ... seems to be gone, how can I quickly get a list of all running VMs? something like: qvm-ls --running * Copy & Paste between AppVMs: I now have to enter the name of the target AppVM when pasting via global clipboard (Shift+Ctrl+V). While this adds more security, it is a pain for the user, when copying a lot. Could it make possible to have the option to get a slightly easier copy&paste process: the current appvm, to which the window belongs is already selected in the list of the target VM. If the user hits Enter two (!) times, the content of clipboard would be pasted into this AppVM clipboard. Benefit: additional security as not content will be copied by coincident (you need to press Enter twice) but easier copy & paste process when copying lots of entries between two AppVms. * Backup and Restore of VMs should be possible via GUI not only per terminal. feedback so far, I continue to test. - PhR -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Well yeah, only if one allows oneself to become a victim. We can oppose and create balance in the world. Also secure boot is entirely pointless in a stateless computer. A non-stateless computer has a lot of closed source firmware which can be either buggy (which closed software have proven to almost always be), and backdoored, which is either illegal, can be abused by other than for the intended, and is at the fringe limit crossing into the realm of human rights. We don't need closed source firmware, it only creates problems, and no benifit or solutions, other than maintaining market shares through force, rather than surviving on good customer service and customer support. We don't need companies that leech on society. I gather you think the world is ruled by bullies, and that you think it's okay. If so, using that perspective, we just have to become the bullies towards to big companies who wants to make use of us. By the end of the day, we the people are what matter, humanity matter, not some greedy individuals behind a large company. Having said that, I'm not a fanatic against big companies, but they must behave, or I'll be against them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

The ends justify the means to me. Especially if it means being able to use Qubes or not. I also think its silly to not support secure boot, simply because the idea was created by Microsoft. FSF/Richard Stallman supporters who are against secure boot, is like Bernie supporters not voting for hillary.

Perhaps the issue here is rather that Qubes seems too closed off and too tightly controlled, that no new groups arise to team up with Qubes? Also most of all, don't want to be too harsh on the Qubes team here, they're doing an amazing job. It's just the limbo of lack of communication that is a bit iffy, if one may call it that. Perhaps a professional Strategy Mission/Vision page on the Qubes website would help creating clarity rather than having to dig through thousands of forum and mail posts? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Alright, I respect that, we see some things differently. But the discussion is good, it does not have to come down to agreeing in the end. I don't like customers being turned into assets though. The way I see it, it essentially make people "not people" anymore, customer service is out of the window, it's all about cheating and manipulating people into making the best use of them, rather than making a fair trade between a company and a customer.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Qubes OS 4.0 first release candidate (rc1) has been released!
Hello, I think it makes sense to concentrate more on what we (different user types/groups) would like to see, instead of having some kind of 'flame war' GUI vs. Terminal. The good thing was always that you can built very complicated workflows using the terminal/bash scrips make life easier and that you can have a GUI for 80% of the standard tasks for "normal users", which are more interested in using their computer as a tool instead of tweaking around. We can and should have both: 1) API/terminal commands for 'advanced users' and 2) a simple GUI for normal users who just want to use a PC that protects their privacy somewhat better than their current Windows 10 Laptop. Am 05.08.2017 5:02 nachm. schrieb "cooloutac" : The forever problem of linux, is the self fulfilling prophecies from people who want to feel superior over others. Disagree, I think that those people are just faster using the terminal. And those users are technically skilled and have at least basic knowledge about an operating system. I agree with cooloutac that Qubes has a benefit if it can be used for regular tasks without touching the terminal. Even when using Windows lots of people use Laptops that have been setup by experienced users and then handover to them. They don't bother with tweaking the system, so simplifying the use of Qubes would help to get those users on board. BUT: Important point is that additional security/privacy has most time a price that it add a small layer of complexity/less usability for the user. But Qubes is doing a great job to reduce this overhead. As far as I have understand the Qubes team statement, it seems that the concentrate more on the Qubes Core stuff and having the API/Terminal commands, someone can still write a GUI for Qubes like Qubes Manager. Honestly I don't understand why it is that hard to Port Qubes Manager over to Qubes 4, so that the user can choose: - terminal - old Qubes manager with maybe a reduced feature set - new Qubes widgets - ... ? This topic reminds me about the vi vs. emacs discussions. What the heck? I use both ;-) Or the new "Ribbon Bar" from Microsoft which was also not that accepted in the beginning. - PhR -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Qubes OS 4.0 first release candidate (rc1) has been released!
I remember when the tor dev Isis on irc, when I asked if anyone used Qubes, told me she was going to try it out but thought it was too hard to use. She started asking me how easy it was to install and use. I was in total shock! This someone who is a genius compared to me and she thought Qubes would be too hard for her to use? Then I realized its because thats what most people on irc thought. And thats because of that age old linux problem of people wanting to feel special for using it. ANY DUMMY CAN USE QUBES Any old dumb computer illiterate windows user can learn how to use Qubes in 10 minutes. If you think I am exaggerating you really need to come down to earth, you're not special. The hardrd part of Qubes is forcing yourself to compartmentalize and thinking of the system in that way. Some people can't do it. But that has nothing to do with a technical learning curve, which is no different then windows. But it seems people in this community want to change that, probably for the reasons I stated in my previous post. Although itl isn't the typical linux type, and from Joanna's github post it seems like its more of her thinking the Qubes-manager is ugly and bulky. So i'm crossing my fingers we don't lose any UI functionality. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Qubes OS 4.0 first release candidate (rc1) has been released!
A worry I've been thinking about regarding the backup feature missing, is that it seems like it's intended to be used through the AdminVM over a network. In other words, this seems more like a move towards business users, rather than the regular every day user that might prefer an external USB drive through a GUI window. Qubes is moving towards business users, we already know that much. But are the regular users getting ignored now as a result? or are both still being seen as primary users? It's clear that Qubes 4 took a lot of hard work, so perhaps there just wasn't enough time to work on everyday touch and feels, like proper GUI and user experience. But the deep worry that Qubes might or might not be giving up on normal users, is definitely there for me. I have high hopes for Qubes to change the PC/Mobile environment of the future, forcing the hand on any other OS out there. There should be no issues to support both users and businesses. It's not that I believe this, but the elephant is still in the room. Are users getting ignored now? or was it just because Qubes 4 had so much work that there was little time left for anything else? If the latter is indeed the case, what is the next everyday user experience development in planning? Gnome 3? Return of GUI tools such as backup? Graphics in VM's for high end graphics? Gaming even? I mean, I do believe if these mentioned issues were fixed, Qubes could draw in quite a lot of new users. Heck many gamers care about privacy and security too, there is a large user-base there if you manage to make gaming through virtualization work smoothly. Think about it, how highly connected gamers are through gaming news etc., if gaming worked in Qubes, it'd in my opinion draw a lot of positive attention, and a likely substantial Qubes userbase growth. Getting graphics to work in Qubes is being seen as a low priority, for the life of me, I cannot see why this is the case, with so many potential new Qubes users laying in wait. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

(Most of them would go to pieces at the prospect.) Sorry, but I do not believe that. How can your users perform the following basic required actions without a CLI: 1. verify iso 2. put the iso on a usb stick 3. print (you need a custom DVM) 4. scan 5. update templates after EOL 6. update dom0 and templates when the same Manager command does not work for some reason. How many times it happened? 7. solve various issues when something simply does not work as expected, such as the last one with the wrong kernel when you Unman kindly helped me to solve it with the terminal because it did not work with the Manager Most of them > rarely touch the Manager. > > How can they update templates and dom0 without touching the Manager? You users may be able to use Qubes only because you kindly help them with the above and other issues. Nothing wrong with that of course, you are a very nice person, but they are not autonomous. If they have to travel a couple of months and something wrong happens, as with my wife that had wifi dead, then they are unable to solve it. Worse, NOBODY is able to help because when they see Qubes they declare inability. In that case I was lucky to be able on the phone to tell her to connect with ethernet and upgrade Fedora 24 to Fedora 25 and it fixed it. But it was just luck that it worked and that she was able to correctly do what I told her. What was broken? No idea. Without you, coouloutac or even me, always ready to help, how can a normal person use Qubes without using the CLI. No way. Now Qubes is still a project for geeks. Too many issues. And it is obvious that this state cannot improve until we are obliged to continuously change architecture such as the last one release 4 for the Xen issues. But hopefully this is the last change we need to do and can concentrate on maturing Qubes into a more mainstream product.

[qubes-users] Re: Qubes OS 4.0 first release candidate (rc1) has been released!
I'm excited about the work you did on Qubes 4, it looks good so far. Can't wait to see the final stable version. Obvious bugs during alpha/beta stages aside, I do feel sorrow for the lack of the Qubes VM Manager as well., and some other minor things that may have major user impact for some people. - VM Backup GUI seems missing. Is this perhaps something still being worked on and is coming later? Seems really odd that it's missing. I am by no means worried about using the terminal, but it's often extra work. Which is really bad when it takes away valuable time, especially when on the move and in a hurry. It is also a disadvantage for people who are visually stronger to gather a mental overview of their system. - Seems like there is a missing ability to see inactive VM's for the visual users (Just like the 3.2 VM Manager can show inactive VM's). This is really important for some people, while not important for some others. Albeit, perhaps I just missed the feature to turn it on in the widget? - Not sure of this one, it might just be due to the VM starting bug, but it seems like we can't easily have an overview of used memory/drive space for each VM anymore? If true, this is a big problem for people on limited hardware resources, who need to be mindful of what is currently running in order not to spend it all up. For example (A contrast example), I never worry if I use all memory, it's essentially almost impossible for me to use it all up inside normal use cases. However on my "8GB ram/128GB SDD" laptop/tablet hybrid running Qubes, this is a very, very different story altogether. Devices are only getting smaller, the inability to upgrade drives or memory in the near future, seems to make smart software more important than ever before. Having good overview of VM resources is imho a really, really good thing. Especially because not everyone runs around with laptops that have 12-16+ GB memory. - VM colors? It might be my limited knowledge here, but adding extra colors, even if just a few, shouldn't take long? 5-10 minutes to add? I might just be super naive here. But having said that, even a few extra colors would be really nice. Heck, even light and dark color versions, like for example light/dark variants of (blue,red,purple,green, etc.). I did not have much time to look around, so perhaps I just missed some of the changes, but this is my first impression nontheless. Having said that, I'm really, really excited about the increased virtualization security and the AdminVM features. Can't say nothing else but that it's an amazing job you guys did there (and a lot of hard work too, which we end users should appreciate more). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

(Most of them would go to pieces at the prospect.) Most of them rarely touch the Manager. I suspect your wife suffered from your (self confessed ) laziness - If you spend some time customizing the menu, creating shortcuts, and hiding the infrastructure as much as possible, then in my experience, most users are fine with Qubes. The problems they report are user problems - funny copy/paste between qubes/ difficulty with full screen playback/ inability to open lots of images in the same disposableVM/ Qubes toggling wifi hardware switch on boot. For these users, the loss of QubesManager will be almost completely irrelevant. BUT, the new widget seems to me to be unreliable ,and doesn't keep updated as qubes start. Also,the very slow load times and lack of any user feedback on qubes start are a major UX fail imo. Sometimes I see qubes fail to start for no apparent reason, or loading with times in excess of 45 secs. Without feedback that forces users to the command line, which is, I think, the opposite of the intention. These are the major pain points for me. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

I do everything with the Qubes Manager that is so well organized and compact. I am afraid that the new arrangement may make things more difficult to find for a new user since items are spread over different buttons/places. I would suggest to mitigate this risk putting links to the other places on the widget/window that opens when you click on one of them. You can separate things, but better put links to find them again. Also I imagine that somewhere I'll find the list of VMs. There please 1. keep the "run command in VM" choice and 2. add something new: the chance to show only preferred VM The first is very important to avoid using the start button. The second is important to simplify the view and speed up the most common routines Cooloutac made me smile telling of his mother and family using Qubes. I had my wife using Qubes for some years, but recently she rised up against Qubes telling that it is too complicated for her to be able to master it without help. She wanted a Mac. Really it is impossible to maintain Qubes without the CLI and this makes it beyond limits for most people. But perhaps if we are able to find a stable architecture and then Qubes matures enough, this may change. But we are not there yet.
