Sorry – I missed this question … I really should know better, than to attempt to put pen to paper before I’ve had coffee … :-/
From your description, it sounds like you have successfully
partitioned and formatted the drive(s)
copied the initial dom0 software to the machine
booted from the harddrive
but the INITIAL SETUP has failed (or skipped) - since it’s the INITIAL SETUP that
copies templates
creates the system qubes
configures the system Qubes
As I read the reddit-link, it’s about how to boot the machine – not about how to get templates installed and system qubes created – so I don’t think it will help in your situatio
n.
Qubes team have a remark, to let Qubes work at my laptop:To boot the installer, you need to remove mapbs=1 and noexitboot=1 To get suspend to work, you need to add mem_sleep_default=deep to the kernel= line in /boot/efi/EFI/qubes/xen.cfg.
I also try to use GRUB
/boot/grub/GRUB/qubes/xen.cfg doesn’t work as well, system also can’t find this command
I think this remark will help in my situation to invoke Default System Qubes/ Software/ Templates , but system couldn’t find and open this command, not when I try efi/EFI or grub/GRUB command.
I also try to put mapbs=1 and noexitboot=1 at GRUB command line, but I don’t know how GRUB work, because it doesn’t show does it safe this command or somehow
Yes I do checked web version, download-install at usb- went thru installation process and have same issue, also any time when I checked quality of ISO image (at usb media) inside installation process it tell that it’s bad USB
(I understand why, because it don’t have default system qubes/software/templates, but inside ISO file I can see them, so aaaaaallll this time long I was trying to find a solution how to invoke Default System Qubes/ Software/ Templates )
But, it also kinda weird suggestion from peoples, because official Qubes have only have 2 web-site and 2 torrents from we can downloaded our images which are officially maintained by Qubes project, all other options it’s just mirrors (not-trusted or less trusted), so if we downloaded from official sources it should not have any problem in theory and if they did we also actually have no choice lol
btw last time I downloaded 4.2.0 Qubes from torrent file and don’t checked by hash, because torrent itself checking it on a hash and if it downloaded 100% it’s mean that this downloaded are the same that source have hash-to-hash.
It’s my nightmare, I’m so exhausted that I Still could not use Qubes OS
If your issue is still the “Installation problem. No Software/No Templates/No Default System Qubes” problem, then I’ll suggest keeping the questions/work/resolution in that thread … maybe follow up in that thread with which suggestions you tried and what result you got.
