Kernel Panic / Can't Boot Qubes OS

[apparatus]

@Rectangle

I left the main template on Fedora during the installation of Qubes OS. The Net-VM runs on Fedora. Unfortunately the wifi card still does not work.

What’s your WiFI card model?
Check the output of this command in dom0:

lspci -nn

And post the VID:PID of your WiFi controller, it should be at the end of the line for your controller in brackets [XXXX:XXXX].

I was able to further isolate the sudden shutdown of the laptop via USB. My laptop shuts down with every USB connection that I disconnect from the computer, even when i disconnect the charging cable…

Append this line:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX module_blacklist=ucsi_acpi"

At the end of /etc/default/grub file in dom0 and run this command in dom0 to regenerate GRUB config:

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

I have also noticed that the super key (Windows key) does not work/respond under Qubes.

Trigger the QubesOS app menu via keyboard - [dom0] In dom0 create a script containing the code below (expandable), make it executable (chmod +x) and bind to keyboard shortcut @Bearillo

qubes-menu.sh

Note that you may need to adjust the numbers if your screen is not 1080p.

#!/bin/bash
eval $(xdotool getmouselocation --shell)
xdotool mousemove 5 5
gdbus call --session --dest org.qubesos.appmenu --object-path "/org/qubesos/appmenu" --method org.freedesktop.Application.Activate "{}"
if [ $X -lt 720 ] && [ $Y -lt 775 ]; then
	X=720	# prevent the mouse from selecting items in the app menu when opening it with the keyboard
fi		# note that these values may need adjusting if using a screen with a resolution other than 1080p
xdotool mousemove $X $Y
