I’ve tried some of the fixes on the other threads and It’s still pretty slow.
Hardware should not be an issue. I’m on Qubes certified laptop with these specs
CPU: Ultra 7 155h
GPU: IGPU Meteor-Lake-P
RAM: 96GB
Qubes ver: R4.2.4
What machine exactly? What BIOS?
Please post the output from dom0 terminal
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
If you haven’t rebootet for some time, please add
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep DRI
BIOS is dasharo coreboot +UEFI v0.9.0

The only thing, that puzzles me is the DRI2-Setting.
Please try two things (one at a time):
- add driver config for xorg in
dom0in the file/etc/X11/xorg.conf(please create that file if it doesn’t exist):
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel iGPU"
Driver "modesetting"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "glamoregl"
EndSection
- Make sure “compositing” for xfce is enabled:
→ Qubes-Menu → System Settings → Window Manager Tweaks → check “enable display compositor”
Sorry I’m newish to linux would I
touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
then
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and then copy/paste what you’ve written here.
also “enable display compositor” is already checked
Yes. As an alternative (it depends on versions/distributions and my system just detects things correctly) you could add /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf and add things there.
cool i do have have a “xorg.conf.d” dir so i’ll do that

done, what’s next
Reboot and please post the output from cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log (it’ll be a few lines) here.
If something hangs, press alt + f2 and log in with your normal account. You can then edit things from the console. (Typos are my favorite …)
failed to start lightdm.service
Im in the terminal what next?
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf and check the settings. If you are familiar with vi use it instead of nano since it implements some syntax highlighting. Check for misspelled quotation marks, double letters etc.
If all else fails, remove that intel-conf file. Qubes should start as before.
- VIM is terrifying but the colors helped
- I wrote “Indentifier” instead of “Identifier”
- I’m a maniac for making changes in dom0 when I’m still new here
- Your post about data privacy and the raccoons make me trust you lol
- Do you need all the output from Xorg.0.log?

Bad. I know … it’s a bit tedious (but in case you don’t know, you can copy from dom0’s clipboard using the global clipboard in the taskbar). But could you get all the output from the last start, starting with the lines

And just to clarify why we (most likely) need it: There’s an OpenGL setting in LibreOffice that is disabled by default. Enabling it drastically improved refresh times over here when dealing with letters with data fields and tabulars in Writer or some 3D drawing (rotation, lights, etc.) within Draw. Without the iris driver, I could throw 8 CPUs at the sh** and further prioritize dom0, but nothing “substantial” happened.
Edith says: Maybe it works for you already …
LibreOffice-App → Extras → Options → LibreOffice → Advanced → Open Expert Configuration → “search for: OpenGL” → Setting: org.openoffice.Office.common → VCL → Disable OpenGL → FALSE

Seems like glamor failed to initialize
That’s a good thing. I don’t trust either.
The bad thing is: glamor is not initialized. (You were faster.) What gives xdriinfo?
