HCL - HP Envy 17m-1300dx: R4.2.0

An extraordinary O/S on an outstanding laptop!
I installed an aftermarket 2TB SSDD a few years back. During R4.2 installation, I opted for a custom disk configuration, wherein I set / and /home as individual partitions of 300GB and 32GB each, more than enough acreage for most interests.
I decided to go for a debian-12 system configuration over the fedora-38 system I used with R4.1.2.

  • I use WiFi exclusively.
    As with R4.1.x, sys-net fails to start on first boot:

    In dom0: terminal, disable the onboard NIC to get wireless networking to work.:
    qvm-shutdown --wait --all (Highly suggested)
    qvm-pci detach sys-net dom0:02_00.1
    qvm-pci attach --persistent --option no-strict-reset=true dom0:02_00.1
    Restart: sys-firewall & sys-net should take off…

  • USB Mouse inactive on login:
    Screenshot_2024-03-04_14-27-00
    In dom0 terminal:
    vi /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.InputMouse
    Add the following line:
    sys-usb dom0 allow
    Save and restart.

Remarks

I’ve maintained separate extended disk partitions for dedicated file categories on all my systems for over 20 years, originally FAT32 and now steadfastly ext4:
Data: Anything non-graphical derived from the Internet, which can be replaced if necessary:
EXEs, ISOs, PDFs, ZIPs, TARs, etc.
Files: Any and all content I originate, without exception.
Grafx: Graphical Internet content: wallpapers, bitmaps, etc.
I leave them untouched during disk configuration (no mount point set), then mount them persistent according to function-specific qubes.
