Anyone tried Qubes on HP Paviliion x360 14cd

[Anil Eklavya]

I am trying to install Qubes on HP Pavillion x360 14 inch (cd0056TX). I have tried both in UEFI mode and legacy boot mode. It either doesn’t recognise the bootable drive (says not bootable drive), or it stops at one point during booting from the installation pen drive and just stops at one point and doesn’t proceed further, no matter how long I wait.

Has anyone tried on this model and can anyone any hint as to what could be the problem.

I tried both with MBR and GPT for the pen drive. I had searched for the line at which stopping, but did not find any solution that works.

Regards,

Anil

Make sure to use dd mode to create the install pen drive. Try UEFI
first, and refer to https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/
if you still have trouble. If that doesn't help, update here!

I tried again and it did get installed. I have just installed it and so far it’s working fine.

There was probably a mistake in the dd command.

Right now I am using the stable version, as this model or anything similar was not listed in the HCL list. I have separate sys-usb and sys-net.

It would have been good if Coreboot or Heads Linux was available for this model.

Can you point me to directions to change the whole disk passphrase. I had done it earlier, but I seem to have forgotten the exact way. Mainly, I am not sure whether I have to use cryptsetup on the disk device or the boot partition device. I have not played around with command line encryption much.

I installed the rc2 version on HP Pavillion x360. It only got installed in legacy mode. Doesn’t boot in UEFI or with secure boot.

Also I have moved network-manager to sys-net. I can attach the USB-ethernet adapter to sys-net, but

The mail got sent halfway mistakenly.

Also I have moved network-manager to sys-net. I can attach the USB-ethernet adapter to sys-net, but I am not sure how to get ethernet working in sys-net after that. I tried the method given in documentation about PCI devices, but it says sys-usb doesn’t expose the device (which readlink says is for ethernet).
