Remarks
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:
In dom0 terminal:
vi /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.InputMouse
Add the following line:
sys-usb dom0 allow
Save and restart.
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.
