It would be great to have a signed alpha iso for Q4.1. I wouldn’t mind running Q4.1 on a secondary machine, even if it breaks big time sometimes, but I would prefer to know that what I’m installing was built in a trusted environment and can be verified before I install it. This would enable me to provide feedback and submit bug reports. But I totally understand if the developers are already getting too much feedback to deal with
In our process for new releases, the release candidate stage features a signed ISO for broader testing by users who don’t want to build Qubes themselves, so you could wait for that.
Hi I’m trying to install the qubes OS R4.1.0 Alpha, I had flashed the iso file by rufus. Im trying to install. The booting process went smooth but in the installation progress screen, I get a bug while creating ext4 on /dev/mapper/qubes_dom0-vm-pool.
I get an error popup saying an unknown error has occured.
Error g-io-error-quark GDBus error not known.error.LVMError waiting for ‘LvcreateLinear’
That’s the release signing key, which is in turn signed by the Qubes Master Key. The verification process has two stages. First, you verify the release signing key, and then you verify the installation media. The bottom line is “read the docs how to do this!”
