Installation problems

Hi to all,

Ok i a back again…I’ll never give up until it finally works! :wink:

I erased the old partition and created everything new from scratch. The first stage went fine, the second stage stopped with the fllowing error.:

I checked the suggested libxl-driver.log. It was completely empty.

Any suggestion where to look else or what to do next ??

best regards, Bleckie

It’s a problem with PCI network controller attached to sys-net.
Check the docs:

Again, now i want to conect to my internal network and to the internet. I use a fixed addresse scheme and DHCP. How I am going to do that the most esiest way? Thank you for your very kind advice. Regards, Hitam

Many problems that people have in Qubes are actually not Qubes specific.
This is one of those.
The only Qubes specific part is that you have to do this in sys-net.
Make sure you have attacked your NIC to sys-net, bring up the sys-net
qube, and configure the network just as you would on any other machine.
(I dont know what your level of knowledge is - let us know if you need
specific help.)

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.
When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.

Well, thanks for your advice. I am a newbie user and try to setup Qubes the first time. I step by step ist mostly appreciated. Regards, Hitam

All right - welcome to Qubes hitam.

I’m assuming (from the “no error message anymore”) that you can start
Qubes, and run sys-net.
The default setting is for NetworkManager to use DHCP - you say that
this is what you are using, so I am not clear on what the issue is.
Can you explain how you want to connect to the network, and what
problem you are having.

You should see the NetworkManager icon up on the panel at the top of the
screen. Right Click on it and select “Connection Information” to see
information about your current connection, and “Edit Connections” if you
need to make changes to the default configuration.

As i mentioned in my earjier post i do NOT use DHCP.

I open Qube Manger -->>sys-net right click on settings–>>Services add Network Manger -->> press Apply and OK.

Sofar i could not find the settings of network manger to define a network connection.

Sorry no icon Network Manger available.

Qube sys-net in red color and spinning.

Are you connecting using WiFi or Ethernet cable?

Is your Wireless or Ethernet controller connected to your sys-net?
Check it in Qube Manger -->>sys-net right click on settings–>>Devices tab.
The controllers should be in the right column.

Do you see no red NetworkManager icon in tray?
If you see it then if you right-click on it and select “Edit connections…” then what do you see in the window that will open?
Maybe your network controller is not working properly in sys-net because of missing/incorrect drivers/firmware.
What’s the output of this command in sys-net? Do you see the interface of your network controller?

Hi, both controllers are in the right column.

No Network manager icon available.

I am connecting ethernet.

Is sys-net running?
Can you open sys-net terminal and run this command there?

ip a

What’s the output of this command in sys-net? Do you see the interfaces of your network controllers?

Please try this:

  1. shutdown your sys-net VM & sys-firewall VM and also all your running VMs, which connected to both
  2. right click on your sys-net VM in the Qubes-Manger
  3. select “Settings”
  4. click on the Tab “Devices”
  5. select on the right side your network controller
  6. hit the Button “Configure strict reset for PCI devices”
  7. hit the Button “Apply”
  8. hit the Button “OK”
  9. Reboot your Qubes Device
