HCL - Dell Latitude 7480

I have not been able to install Qubes 3.2 on this machine.

The installer cannot start as the graphics card is not supported. The result is that you get dropped into the text-based installer which does not work.

This is kind of disappointing as this is a very light laptop that supports up to 32 GB RAM, which would be very nice to have with Qubes.

I forgot to include the actual specs for the machine I used for testing:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7600U CPU @ 2.80GHz
16 GB RAM
Intel Integrated HD Graphics 620

Have you booted in UEFI mode? I had the same problem when using legacy
boot.

Thank you. Doing that allowed me to do a normal install. However, the resulting installation does not have working networking (neither wired nor wireless). Doing "ip link" does not show any physical devices, so I suspect that this is a driver issue.

I will build a new installer image in the hope that it will contain the appropriate drivers. I will update this post when this is done.
