Ok guy’s over the weekend I had SSD go down on me and my “qube” was MIA. So long story short is…
-installed new SSD
-installed new Hadrware (NIC)
-installed qubes OS from USB I built awhile ago got up and basically
(everything is working, new hardware is being seen on this “fresh” install of Qubes OS.
GREAT!!!
Next step
-Full restore last backup 30 days out (dom0,custom built domains & dispvms, HVM’s),…3 hours later after reboot…Blam I’m in and all is good… just have to update/upgrade basically everything…ok
Had to reapply USB stuff (keyboard,mouse) way that didn’t come over I don’t know…set dom0 dark mode back and a few other things.
Now I have a few questions if someone can be so kind??
1.) For some reason after I restored dom0 I lost the new hardware I installed but was seen on the fresh USB install of Qubes OS…ie NIC.
So is there anyway to have dom0 “re-scan” and add this new NIC to this restore so I can use it?
2.) I see the “home-restore-date” folder in my home directory…
I move what I needed to…
Can I just "delete this folder now that I have what I need from it?
3.) I know that Sven helped me a ton a while back as I was having the hole “dom0 unrestricted USB device access” and it’s coming up again while my Qube boots. I will have to look through my post and reread the commands he had me enter. Also I have my USB keyboard working now at login BUT the USB mouse still isn’t working at login screenand I have to use my PS/2. But again Sven guided me along to fix that so I will look through my post to refresh my memory…
@ adw, yes I have copied over all that I need from that “home-restore-date” folder in my home directory…
SO I will just deleted it. I like to run a “tight” ship in my qube…
@disp6252… well this new NIC does not show up in my “sys-net” Network Connections. You know I right click the NetworkManager Applet up there on the right where all the other dom0 icons live and this new NIC doesn’t show up. I go into “sys-net” devices and NO it is not there in my “sys-net” and I found it’s pci address by comparing another domains settings and looking at Available devices…
So, how do I add this to my “sys-net”?
Should I stop “sys-net” and then add it to it and then it will show up in my NetworkManager Applet…
OR
Do I have to do some cmd"s in dom0 to add it to sys-net…
I was able to address my USB mouse issue and “dom0 unrestricted USB device access” by reviewing my old post and looking at the notes I took as Sven was teaching me on how to fix these issues.
Hopefully I now can get this other NIC up and running in my dom0 and NetworkManager Applet…
THank you both for your time and understanding as well as help…
