I am unable to install Qubes 4.3 from a USB stick. I am currently using Qubes release 4.2.4 (R4.2) on my Lenovo and would like to reinstall Qubes 4.3. I downloaded Qubes-R4.3.0-x86_64.iso into the “Internet” app and copied/moved it to a 16 GB USB stick as usual. When I restart the computer, the USB…

Here is a summary: Using the mouse, insert the USB stick into the desired AppVM in Qubes Device Manager using the line below the heading USB Devices. It does not work with the entry under the heading Data (Block) Devices. Then, as described on the Internet, create an ISO disk using the terminal com…

all I can say is to refrain from using mobile devices for flashing ISOs. also upload a video, i have no idea what you are talking about, either you are talking it wrong or I am dumb. I want to see the ordeal myself, so post here a vid.

Qubes UEFI is not responsible for devices discovery. It’s BIOS work. Everything depends how you “moved” ISO to USB. It must be with dd command or any other tools that work in dd fashion (Fedora Media Writer, Rufus in dd mode). Either way you need to enter BIOS boot manager and chose USB from there…

Yes, I don’t know how to connect a USB stick to Qubes. But I can ask how to do it. Thank you for your quick reply. I have now installed Fedora Media Writer, but the tool can’t find the USB drive either, possibly because the BIOS boot manager is not set correctly. Until now, I thought that Qubes had…

[image] Lozi: Since I have never created an ISO stick with Qubes before, can I simply copy the ISO file to the USB stick, or 2. is there another way? It doesn’t work with sudo dd if=Qubes-RX-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdY status=progress bs=1M conv=fsync because the USB stick is mounted in sys-usb. Y…

Oh, it’s so simple. I always connected USB sticks to the app in the selection window starting at the top with “Data (Block) Devices.” You have to use “USB Devices” further down. Because I don’t know what I’m doing… I’ll probably find the BIOS the same way as in Windows by pressing the function keys…

also use && sync option at the end and then run cat > /dev/sdY /path/to/file, trim the irrelevant bytes so that amount written and copied via the cat would be equal and then run md5sum. you may alternatively use cmp too but sometimes the pipe doesn’t clear and you cannot confirm what you had written…

QubesOS or any operating system don’t replace BIOS. BIOS is writen to hardware memory of motherboard and whatever it’s Legacy BIOS or UEFI BIOS is not dependent on installed operating system. Whatever you install QubesOS, Ubuntu Linux or Windows it wont change BIOS of your motherboard/computer. Fed…

Thanks, now I understand the difference between BIOS and UEFI, I hope. I am someone who understands programming languages, but cannot really use them myself. That is why I almost exclusively use programs that can be operated with the mouse. Fedora Media Writer only finds the USB stick if you connec…

I too am wired to look for the none console solution coming from windows. Solely because that is what usually works for me. I am being sucked in more and more because when your really good with console. it’s all fairly easy to teach your self from either man pages or a quick search online. While I …

What? You cannot attach USB device in Devices tab in VM setting. You can attach whole USB controller to appVM but then you need first remove it from sys-usb so if you have only one controller (most cases on laptops/computers which have only one USB controller from CPU) you lose any USB connectivity …
