Emergency Backup Recovery without Qubes - format version 3
|
|
||||||
==========================================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This page describes how to perform emergency restore of backup created on Qubes R2 or later (which uses backup format 3).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The Qubes backup system has been designed with emergency disaster recovery in mind. No special Qubes-specific tools are required to access data backed up by Qubes. In the event a Qubes system is unavailable, you can access your data on any GNU/Linux system with the following procedure.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Note:** In the following example, the backup file is assumed to be both encrypted and compressed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Untar the main backup file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[user@restore ~]$ tar -i -xvf qubes-backup-2013-12-26-123456
|
|
||||||
backup-header
|
|
||||||
backup-header.hmac
|
|
||||||
qubes.xml.000
|
|
||||||
qubes.xml.000.hmac
|
|
||||||
vm1/private.img.000
|
|
||||||
vm1/private.img.000.hmac
|
|
||||||
vm1/icon.png.000
|
|
||||||
vm1/icon.png.000.hmac
|
|
||||||
vm1/firewall.xml.000
|
|
||||||
vm1/firewall.xml.000.hmac
|
|
||||||
vm1/whitelisted-appmenus.list.000
|
|
||||||
vm1/whitelisted-appmenus.list.000.hmac
|
|
||||||
dom0-home/dom0user.000
|
|
||||||
dom0-home/dom0user.000.hmac
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Verify the integrity of the `backup-header` file contains basic information about your backup.
|
|
||||||
[user@restore ~]$ cd vm1/
|
|
||||||
[user@restore ~]$ openssl dgst -sha512 -hmac "your_passphrase" backup-header
|
|
||||||
HMAC-SHA512(backup-header)= 5b266783e116fe3b2601a54c249ca5f5f96d421dfe6828eeaeb2dcd014e9e945c27b3d7b0f952f5d55c927318906d9c360f387b0e1f069bb8195e96543e2969c
|
|
||||||
[user@restore ~]$ cat backup-header.hmac
|
|
||||||
(stdin)= 5b266783e116fe3b2601a54c249ca5f5f96d421dfe6828eeaeb2dcd014e9e945c27b3d7b0f952f5d55c927318906d9c360f387b0e1f069bb8195e96543e2969c
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Note:** The hash values should match. If they do not match, then the backup file may have been tampered with, or there may have been a storage error.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Note:** If your backup was hashed with a message digest algorithm other than `sha512`, you must substitute the correct message digest command. A complete list of supported message digest algorithms can be found with `openssl list-message-digest-algorithms`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Read the `backup-header`. You'll need some of this information later. The file will look similar to this:
|
|
||||||
version=3
|
|
||||||
hmac-algorithm=SHA512
|
|
||||||
crypto-algorithm=aes-256-cbc
|
|
||||||
encrypted=True
|
|
||||||
compressed=True
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you see `version=2` here, go to [Emergency Backup Recovery - format version 2](/doc/BackupEmergencyRestoreV2/) page instead.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Verify the integrity of the `private.img` file which houses your data.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[user@restore ~]$ cd vm1/
|
|
||||||
[user@restore vm1]$ openssl dgst -sha512 -hmac "your_passphrase" private.img.000
|
|
||||||
HMAC-SHA512(private.img.000)= cf83e1357eefb8bdf1542850d66d8007d620e4050b5715dc83f4a921d36ce9ce47d0d13c5d85f2b0ff8318d2877eec2f63b931bd47417a81a538327af927da3e
|
|
||||||
[user@restore vm1]$ cat private.img.000.hmac
|
|
||||||
(stdin)= cf83e1357eefb8bdf1542850d66d8007d620e4050b5715dc83f4a921d36ce9ce47d0d13c5d85f2b0ff8318d2877eec2f63b931bd47417a81a538327af927da3e
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Note:** The hash values should match. If they do not match, then the backup file may have been tampered with, or there may have been a storage error.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Note:** If your backup was hashed with a message digest algorithm other than `sha512`, you must substitute the correct message digest command. A complete list of supported message digest algorithms can be found with `openssl list-message-digest-algorithms`. You can check `backup-header` file for the hash used to create the backup.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Decrypt the `private.img` file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
cat private.img.??? | openssl enc -d -pass pass:your_passphrase -aes-256-cbc -out private.img.dec
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Note:** If your backup was encrypted with a cipher algorithm other than `aes-256-cbc`, you must substitute the correct cipher command. A complete list of supported cipher algorithms can be found with `openssl list-cipher-algorithms`. You can check `backup-header` file to get that information.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Decompress the decrypted `private.img` file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[user@restore vm1]$ zforce private.img.dec
|
|
||||||
[user@restore vm1]$ gunzip private.img.dec.gz
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Note:** If your backup was compressed with a program other than `gzip`, you must substitute the correct compression program. `backup-header` file contains name of program used to compress the data.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Untar the decrypted and decompressed `private.img` file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[user@restore vm1]$ tar -xvf private.img.dec
|
|
||||||
vm1/private.img
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Mount the private.img file and access your data.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[user@restore vm1]$ sudo mkdir /mnt/img
|
|
||||||
[user@restore vm1]$ sudo mount -o loop vm1/private.img /mnt/img/
|
|
||||||
[user@restore vm1]$ cat /mnt/img/home/user/your_data.txt
|
|
||||||
This data has been successfully recovered!
|
|
||||||
|

||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Q: Why does dom0 need to be 64-bit?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Often it is more difficult to exploit a bug on the x64 Linux than it is on x86 Linux (e.g. ASLR is sometimes harder to get around). While we designed Qubes with the emphasis on limiting any potential attack vectors in the first place, still we realize that some of the code running in Dom0, e.g. our GUI daemon or xen-store daemon, even though it is very simple code, might contain some bugs. Plus currently we haven't implemented a separate storage domain, so also the disk backends are in Dom0 and are "reachable" from the VMs, which adds up to the potential attack surface. So, having faced a choice between 32-bit and 64-bit OS for Dom0, it was almost a no-brainer, as the 64-bit option provides some (little perhaps, but still) more protection against some classes of attacks, and at the same time do not have any disadvantages (except that it requires a 64-bit processor, but all systems on which it makes sense to run Qubes, e.g. that have at least 3-4GB memory, they do have 64-bit CPUs anyway).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Q: Why do you use KDE in Dom0? What is the roadmap for Gnome support?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There a few things that are KDE-specific, but generally it should not be a big problem to also add Gnome support to Qubes (in Dom0 of course). Those KDE-specific things are:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Qubes requires KDM (KDE Login Manager), rather than GDM, for the very simple reason that GDM doesn't obey standards and start `/usr/bin/Xorg` instead of `/usr/bin/X`. This is important for Qubes, because we need to load a special "X wrapper" (to make it possible to use Linux usermode shared memory to access Xen shared memory pages in our App Viewers -- see the sources [here](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-gui-daemon/tree/master/shmoverride)). So, Qubes makes the `/usr/bin/X` to be a symlink to the Qubes X Wrapper, which, in turn, executes the `/usr/bin/Xorg`. This works well with KDM (and would probably also work with other X login managers), but not with GDM. If somebody succeeded in makeing GDM to execute `/usr/bin/X` instead of `/usr/bin/Xorg`, we would love to hear about it!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- We maintain a special [repository](/doc/KdeDom0/) for building packages specifically for Qubes Dom0.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- We've patched the KDE's Window Manager (specifically [one of the decoration plugins](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-desktop-linux-kde/tree/master/plastik-for-qubes)) to draw window decorations in the color of the specific AppVM's label.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you're interested in porting GNOME for Qubes Dom0 use, let us know -- we will most likely welcome patches in this area.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Q: What is the recommended build environment?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Any rpm-based, 64-bit. Preferred Fedora.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Q: How to build Qubes from sources?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See [the instruction](/doc/QubesBuilder/)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Q: How do I submit a patch?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Make all the changes in your working directory, i.e. edit files, move them around (you can use 'git mv' for this), etc.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Add the changes and commit them (git add, git commit). Never mix different changes into one commit! Write a good description of the commit. The first line should contain a short summary, and then, if you feel like more explanations are needed, enter an empty new line, and then start the long, detailed description (optional).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Test your changes NOW: check if RPMs build fine, etc.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Create the patch using 'git format-patch'. This has an advantage over 'git diff', because the former will also include your commit message, your name and email, so that \*your\* name will be used as a commit's author.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Send your patch to qubes-devel. Start the message subject with the '[PATCH]' string.

Guidelines for Documentation Contributors
|
|
||||||
=========================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Use spaces instead of tabs.
|
|
||||||
* Hard wrap Markdown lines at 80 characters.
|
|
||||||
* Hard wrap Git commit message lines at 72 characters.
|
|
||||||
* This leaves exactly four spaces on each side of the commit message when
|
|
||||||
viewed in the default `git log` format.)
|
|
||||||
* If appropriate, make numerals in numbered lists match between Markdown source
|
|
||||||
and HTML output.
|
|
||||||
* In the event that a user is required to read the Markdown
|
|
||||||
source directly, this will make it easier to follow, e.g., numbered steps in
|
|
||||||
a set of instructions.
|
|
||||||
* Use hanging indentations
|
|
||||||
where appropriate.
|
|
||||||
* Use `[reference-style][ref]` links.

Donating to the Qubes Project
|
|
||||||
=============================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The Qubes project is now accepting donations in Bitcoins. You can use the following address to send Bitcoins to the project (but you might want to read the short FAQ below first):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
14zockMSKKp5MK6X2cHJ3mQwm9MwYsJ39j
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This address can also be found in a message posted to Qubes mailing list, which can be viewed via Google Groups Web interface over SSL [here](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-devel/u3wAzm1dB5Y/s5CiUGDebL4J), for double verification. For additional verification, you can verify the digital signature on the message, which should come from Joanna Rutkowska.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can check how much others have donated already (over the entire time) via [blockexplorer](https://blockexplorer.com/address/14zockMSKKp5MK6X2cHJ3mQwm9MwYsJ39j) and [blockchain](https://blockchain.info/address/14zockMSKKp5MK6X2cHJ3mQwm9MwYsJ39j).

FAQ
|
|
||||||
---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### How are you going to spend the donated Bitcoins?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Our primary intention is to fund development of additional Qubes features, such as Split GPG (\#474), Qubes MIME handlers, USB PV backend, IPv6 routing between VMs, etc. Those additional features, although often very cool and appealing, are often being postponed because we need to focus on the more mainstream features, including the commercial branches for our paying customers.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
But we cannot promise we won't spend your donated Bitcoins in some other way. Frankly, I (JR) don't believe that the income from public donations could sustain ITL in operation for even a month. If, however, ITL were in financial trouble, we would use those donations in an attempt to extend our agony ;) Generally, our goal is to make Qubes/ITL survive -- even if that means we must spend your donated Bitcoins on things other than cool open-source features. Hopefully though, this will not be necessary.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### I have donated X number of Bitcoins. Can I request that a special feature be implemented?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The simple answer is: No. If everybody were to decide, then nothing would get implemented. However, if you make a substantial donation (e.g., an amount which you believe could be used to pay for several months of a developer's work), then please contact us in person or via the mailing list. You can attach a digitally signed message using the Bitcoin address you used to donate in order to prove that who made a particular donation. In that case, we will listen carefully and, in the worst case, explain to you why we can't or don't want to implement your requested feature.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Who actually owns the above Bitcoin address?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Joanna Rutkowska (JR), the founder of Invisible Things Lab (ITL) and the Qubes project. Technically, she can do whatever she wants with the donated Bitcoins. Also, if she were to die accidentally, all the Bitcoins would probably be lost.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### How much do Joanna Rutkowska and the other guys actually earn? I've heard a rumour that she's totally spoiled and lives a pretty luxurious life. Isn't it unfair to accept donations in that case?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All Qubes developers are paid good salaries, and presently ITL is doing pretty well. JR is spoiled to no end, arrogant beyond comprehension, and generally not nice to people, especially on mailing lists. But you should realize that:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Nobody forces or specifically asks you to donate. Qubes will (probably) survive without any donations.
|
|
||||||
2. The main reason to donate is to encourage the creation of additional features, i.e., to make Qubes OS more secure and/or easier to use. This should benefit most Qubes users.
|
|
||||||
3. Another reason to donate is to say "Thank you," as we're releasing Qubes under GPL (excluding the Windows support) and generally trying to make the world a better place. (Oh, right, I had to made this plug somewhere here;)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Are you going to provide a financial report on how you spend our donated Bitcoins?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Nope.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Are you going to verify that the donated Bitcoins are not coming from some illegal activity, e.g., Bitcoin thefts?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Nope. In real life, when you go to a shop to buy a loaf of bread, or a brand new BMW, the shop is not responsible for running a background check on you and checking your financial history (which they can't do in fact).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Why use Bitcoins and not some normal currency?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Bitcoin is an ideologically attractive currency due to its distributed nature (no central authority to control it) and due to the fact that it relies on cryptography for its security. Bitcoin is another tool that can be used to empower an individual against the system. While Bitcoin is about protecting your wealth, Qubes is about protecting your digital life (against an adversary that could also be "the system"). Of course it makes perfect sense to use Qubes OS to secure your Bitcoin wallet by, e.g., running it in a dedicated AppVM (or even more).

||||||
Hardware Requirements
|
|
||||||
---------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Please see the [Hardware Compatibility List](/hcl/) page for more information on required and recommended hardware.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note: We don't recommend installing Qubes in a virtual machine! It will likely not work. Don't send emails asking about it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Download installer ISO
|
|
||||||
----------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See [this page](/doc/QubesDownloads/) for ISO downloads. Remember, we have absolutely no control over those servers, and so you should be assuming that they might be compromised, or just be serving a compromised ISOs because their operators decided so for whatever reason. Always verify the digital signature on the downloaded ISO. See this [page](/doc/VerifyingSignatures/) for more info about how to download and verify our GPG keys, and then verify the downloaded ISO:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
gpg -v <iso>.asc
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Burning the ISO onto a DVD or USB stick
|
|
||||||
---------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once you verify this is an authentic ISO, you should burn it on a DVD.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you prefer to use USB as a source for installation, then you just need to copy the ISO onto the USB device, e.g. using dd:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
dd if=Qubes-R1-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdX
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Be sure to use a correct device as the target in the dd command above (instead of sdX)'''**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Before proceeding with the installation, you are encouraged to first read all the information on this page, especially the *Known Issues* paragraph.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Then, when finally ready, boot your system from the installer DVD and follow the instructions on screen. The installer is very simple and asks very few questions -- it's actually easier to install Qubes right now than most other Linux distributions!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The installer loads Xen right at the beginning, so chances are high that if you can see the installer's graphical screen, Qubes will work on your system :)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Upgrading from Qubes 1.0-rc1
|
|
||||||
----------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you're already running Qubes 1.0-rc1, you don't need to reinstall, it's just enough to update the packages in your Dom0 and the template VM(s). The easiest way for doing this is to click on the Update Button in the Qubes Manger -- one click when you selected Dom0, and one click for each of your template VM (by default there is just one template).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Migrating from Qubes Beta 3
|
|
||||||
---------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you have Qubes Beta 3 currently installed on your system, you must reinstall from scratch, as we offer no direct upgrade option in the installer (sorry). However, we do offer tools for smooth migration of your AppVMs. In order to do that, please backup your AppVMs using the `qvm-backup` tool [as usual](/doc/BackupRestore/). Then, after you install Qubes 1.0 rc1, you can restore them using `qvm-backup-restore` tool. However, because we have changed the default template in RC1, you should tell qvm-back-restore about that by passing `--replace-template` option:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
qvm-backup-restore <backup_dir> --replace-template=fedora-15-x64:fedora-17-x64
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Installing Updates
|
|
||||||
------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Installing updates is very easy and can be done using the "Update" button in the Qubes Manager. Alternatively it can also be done from command prompt -- see the following for more details:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- For installing updates for Dom0 -- see instructions [here](/doc/SoftwareUpdateDom0/).
|
|
||||||
- For installing updates for you domains (VMs) -- see instructions [here](/doc/SoftwareUpdateVM/).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Known Issues
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Installer might not support some USB keyboards (\#230). This seems to include all the Mac Book keyboards (most PC laptops have PS2 keyboards and are not affected).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- If you don't enable Composition (System Setting -\> Desktop -\> Enable desktop effects), which you really should do, then the KDE task bar might get somehow ugly (e.g. half of it might be black). This is some KDE bug that we don't plan to fix.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Some keyboard layout set by KDE System Settings can cause [keyboard not working at all](https://groups.google.com/group/qubes-devel/browse_thread/thread/77d076b65dda7226). If you hit this issue, you can switch to console (by console login option) and manually edit `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-system-setup-keyboard.conf` (and `/etc/sysconfig/keyboard`) and place correct keyboard layout settings (details in linked thread). You can check if specific keyboard layout settings are proper using `setxkbmap` tool.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- On systems with more than 8GB of RAM there is problem with Disposable VM. To fix it, limit maximum memory allocation for DispVM to 3GB
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
qvm-prefs -s fedora-17-x64-dvm maxmem 3072
|
|
||||||
qvm-create-default-dvm --default-template --default-script
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- On some systems the KDE Window Manager might freeze upon resuming from S3 sleep when compositing is enabled (and the only method to log in to the system if this happens is to switch to a text console, enter your user's password, kill the kwin process, go back to the Xorg console, log in, and start a new instance of kwin using Konsole application :) If you experience such problems, make sure to disable compositing before putting the system into sleep by pressing Alt-Ctrl-F12 (and then enabling it back once you log in after resume) -- this way you should never see this problem again.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note: We don't recommend installing Qubes in a virtual machine! It will likely not work. Don't send emails asking about it. However, you can install it on an external USB hard drive and run from it, at least for testing (normally such disks are *orders* of magnitude slower than even the slowest internal hard drives).
|
|

|
|

|
|
||||||
Upgrading
|
|
||||||
---------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Upgrading from Qubes R2 rc1 should be a simple matter of installing updates for [dom0](/doc/SoftwareUpdateDom0/) and [VMs](/doc/SoftwareUpdateVM/).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Users of R2 beta 3 should follow instructions on how to upgrade to Qubes R2 rc1 [here](/doc/UpgradeToR2rc1/).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Troubleshooting problems with the installer
|
|
||||||
-------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the installer fails for some reason, typically because of the graphics card not being correctly supported, it is possible to try booting the installer with a different kernel -- to do that, choose Troubleshooting menu in the Installer Welcome screen, and later choose an option to proceed with one of the kernels provided:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![qubes-r2-installer-troubleshooting.png](/attachment/wiki/InstallationGuideR2/qubes-r2-installer-troubleshooting.png)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The installer ships with 4 different kernels (3.12, 3.11, 3.9 and 3.7) and all those kernel will be installed (regardless of which is selected to run the installer) so it is later always possible to boot the Qubes OS using any of those kernels.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Known Issues
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- On some graphics cards the Xfce4 Window Manager (one of the two supported Dom0 Windows Managers in Qubes R2, the other being KDE) might behave "strangely", e.g. decorations might not be drawn sometimes. Also the accompanying lightdm login manager might incorrectly display the wallpaper. If you're facing those problems, it's advisable to use the KDE Window Manager and kdm instead of Xfce4 and lightdm (this is default if one chooses the KDE only installation option in the installer).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Some icons in the Qubes Manager application might not be drawn correctly when using the Xfce4 environment in Dom0. If this bothers you, please use the KDE environment instead.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- If your GPU is not correctly supported by the Dom0 kernel (e.g. the 3D desktop effects do not run smoothly) then you might experience "heaviness" with Windows 7-based AppVMs. In that case, please solve the problem with your GPU support in Dom0 in the first place (by using a different kernel), or install Qubes OS on a different system.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Under some circumstances, Qubes backup can create broken backup, without any visible message (\#902). It is advisable to verify a backup to spot the problem. If you encounter this problem, backup VM directory manually.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- System shutdown sometimes is very slow (\#903). To mitigate the problem, shutdown all the VMs first.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- For other known issues take a look at [our trac tickets](https://wiki.qubes-os.org/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&type=defect&milestone=Release+2.1+(post+R2)&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&col=component&order=priority)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is advised to install updates just after system installation to apply bug fixes for (some of) the above problems.

Hardware Requirements
|
|
||||||
---------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Please see the [Hardware Compatibility List](/hcl/) page for more information on required and recommended hardware.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note: We don't recommend installing Qubes in a virtual machine! It will likely not work. Don't send emails asking about it. However, you can install it on an external USB hard drive and run from it, at least for testing (normally such disks are *orders* of magnitude slower than even the slowest internal hard drives).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Download installer ISO
|
|
||||||
----------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See [this page](/doc/QubesDownloads/) for ISO downloads. Remember, we have absolutely no control over those servers, and so you should be assuming that they might be compromised, or just be serving a compromised ISOs because their operators decided so, for whatever reason. Always verify the digital signature on the downloaded ISO. See this [page](/doc/VerifyingSignatures/) for more info about how to download and verify our GPG keys, and then verify the downloaded ISO:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
gpg -v <iso>.asc
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Burning the ISO onto a DVD or USB stick
|
|
||||||
---------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once you verify this is an authentic ISO, you should burn it on a DVD.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you prefer to use USB as a source for installation, then you just need to copy the ISO onto the USB device, e.g. using dd:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
dd if=Qubes-R2-Beta2-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdX
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Be sure to use a correct device as the target in the dd command above (instead of sdX)**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Before proceeding with the installation, you are encouraged to first read all the information on this page, especially the *Known Issues* paragraph.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Then, when finally ready, boot your system from the installer DVD and follow the instructions on screen. The installer is very simple and asks very few questions -- it's actually easier to install Qubes right now than most other Linux distributions!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The installer loads Xen right at the beginning, so chances are high that if you can see the installer's graphical screen, Qubes will work on your system :)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Upgrading from Qubes R1 or R2 Beta 1
|
|
||||||
------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Because of the distribution change in R2B2 (from fc13 to fc18) it's preferred that users reinstall Qubes R2B2 from scratch, and use [qubes backup and restore tools](/doc/BackupRestore/) for migrating of all of the user VMs.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Advanced users (and advanced users only) can also try a manual upgrade procedure that has been described [here](/doc/UpgradeToR2B2/). It's advisable to backup your VMs before proceeding anyway!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Installing Updates
|
|
||||||
------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Installing updates is very easy and can be done using the "Update" button in the Qubes Manager. Alternatively it can also be done from command prompt -- see the following for more details:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- For installing updates for Dom0 -- see instructions [here](/doc/SoftwareUpdateDom0/).
|
|
||||||
- For installing updates for you domains (VMs) -- see instructions [here](/doc/SoftwareUpdateVM/).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Known Issues
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- On some graphics cards the Xfce4 Window Manager (one of the two supported Dom0 Windows Managers in Qubes R2 B2, the other being KDE) might behave "strangely", e.g. decorations might not be drawn sometimes. Also the accompanying lightdm login manager might incorrectly display the wallpaper. If you're facing those problems, it's advisable to use the KDE Window Manager and kdm instead of Xfce4 and lightdm (this is default if one chooses the KDE only installation option in the installer).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Some icons in the Qubes Manager application might not be drawn correctly when using the Xfce4 environment in Dom0. If this bothers you, please use the KDE environment instead.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- When restoring service VMs from a backup (such as custom netvms, firewallvms, etc) their icons might not be preserved in the "Start Menu".
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Getting Help
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **User manuals are [here](/doc/UserDoc/).** (Strongly recommended!)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Developers documentation (normally not needed by users) is [here](/doc/SystemDoc/)

|
||||||
Upgrading from Qubes R1 or R2 Beta 2
|
|
||||||
------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The easiest and safest way to upgrade to Qubes R2B3 is to install it from scratch and use [qubes backup and restore tools](/doc/BackupRestore/) for migrating of all of the user VMs.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Users can also try a manual upgrade procedure that has been described [here](/doc/UpgradeToR2B3/).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note: if the user has custom Template VMs (i.e. other than the default template, e.g. created from it by cloning), or Standalone VMs, then the user should perform manual upgrade from R2B2 to R2B3, as described under the link given above.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Installing Updates
|
|
||||||
------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
NOTE: Updates has been released after R2B3 ISO has been built -- it is recommended to install Dom0 updates shortly after installation to resolve some of the issues mentioned in the section below (Known Issues).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Installing updates is very easy and can be done using the "Update" button in the Qubes Manager. Alternatively it can also be done from command prompt -- see the following for more details:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- For installing updates for Dom0 -- see instructions [here](/doc/SoftwareUpdateDom0/).
|
|
||||||
- For installing updates for you domains (VMs) -- see instructions [here](/doc/SoftwareUpdateVM/).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Troubleshooting problems with the installer
|
|
||||||
-------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the installer fails for some reason, typically because of the graphics card not being correctly supported, it is possible to try booting the installer with a different kernel -- to do that, choose Troubleshooting menu in the Installer Welcome screen, and later choose an option to proceed with one of the kernels provided:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![r2b3-installer-troubleshooting.png](/attachment/wiki/InstallationGuideR2B3/r2b3-installer-troubleshooting.png)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The installer ships with 3 different kernels (3.11, 3.9 and 3.7) and all those kernel will be installed (regardless of which is selected to run the installer) so it is later always possible to boot the Qubes OS using any of those kernels.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Known Issues
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- On some graphics cards the Xfce4 Window Manager (one of the two supported Dom0 Windows Managers in Qubes R2 B2, the other being KDE) might behave "strangely", e.g. decorations might not be drawn sometimes. Also the accompanying lightdm login manager might incorrectly display the wallpaper.

|

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- When restoring service VMs from a backup (such as custom netvms, firewallvms, etc) their icons might not be preserved in the "Start Menu".
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- If you're GPU is not correctly supported by the Dom0 kernel (e.g. the 3D desktop effects do not run smoothly) then you might experience "heaviness" with Windows 7-based AppVMs. In that case, please solve the problem with your GPU support in Dom0 in the first place (by using a different kernel), or install Qubes OS on a different system.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- For HVMs without Qubes Tools installed the GUI window will not be shown unless 'debug' flag is enabled for the VM. This has been fixed in `qubes-core-dom0` package \>= 2.1.35 -- please ensure you install updates after installation to resolve this issue.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Clocks might not get syncs in the VMs for up to several minutes after resume from sleep. This has been fixed in `qubes-core-dom0-linux` package \>= 2.0.4 -- please ensure you install updates after installation to resolve this issue.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Gnome terminal window sometimes shrinks to minimal size (especially when opening new tab). The workaround is to disable its menubar and scrollbar.

Upgrading
|
|
||||||
---------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The easiest and safest way to upgrade to Qubes R2rc1 (especially from older releases) is to install it from scratch and use [qubes backup and restore tools](/doc/BackupRestore/) for migrating of all of the user VMs.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Users of R2 beta 3 can upgrade using procedure that has been described [here](/doc/UpgradeToR2rc1/).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note: if the user has custom Template VMs (i.e. other than the default template, e.g. created from it by cloning), or Standalone VMs, then the user should perform manual upgrade from R2B3 to R2rc1, as described under the link given above.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The installer ships with 4 different kernels (3.12, 3.11, 3.9 and 3.7) and all those kernel will be installed (regardless of which is selected to run the installer) so it is later always possible to boot the Qubes OS using any of those kernels.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Known Issues
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- On some graphics cards the Xfce4 Window Manager (one of the two supported Dom0 Windows Managers in Qubes R2, the other being KDE) might behave "strangely", e.g. decorations might not be drawn sometimes. Also the accompanying lightdm login manager might incorrectly display the wallpaper.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- HVMs with Qubes Tools installed will not have access to the network if firewallvm uses 3.12 kernel (the default). The workaround is to use older (3.11) kernel for firewallvm. You need to [install kernel-qubes-vm-3.11.10 package](/doc/SoftwareUpdateDom0/#how-to-downgrade-a-specific-package), then ensure that it is used for firewallvm (for example using Qubes Manager - advanced tab of VM settings).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Just after installation, applications menu will not contain colorful application icons (new feature), only padlock in VM color. To get colorful icons, you need to start template VM (fedora-20-x64) and call `qvm-sync-appmenus fedora-20-x64` in dom0 terminal. If you have other Template VMs or Standalone VMs, repeat the steps for them too.

Hardware Requirements
|
|
||||||
---------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Please see the [Hardware Compatibility List](/hcl/) page for more information on required and recommended hardware.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note: We don't recommend installing Qubes in a virtual machine! It will likely not work. Don't send emails asking about it. However, you can install it on an external USB hard drive and run from it, at least for testing (normally such disks are *orders* of magnitude slower than even the slowest internal hard drives).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Download installer ISO
|
|
||||||
----------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See [this page](/doc/QubesDownloads/) for ISO downloads. Remember, we have absolutely no control over those servers, and so you should be assuming that they might be compromised, or just be serving a compromised ISOs because their operators decided so, for whatever reason. Always verify the digital signature on the downloaded ISO. See this [page](/doc/VerifyingSignatures/) for more info about how to download and verify our GPG keys, and then verify the downloaded ISO:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
gpg -v Qubes-R2-rc2-x86_64-DVD.iso.asc
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Burning the ISO onto a DVD or USB stick
|
|
||||||
---------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once you verify this is an authentic ISO, you should burn it on a DVD.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you prefer to use USB as a source for installation, then you just need to copy the ISO onto the USB device, e.g. using dd:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
dd if=Qubes-R2-rc2-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdX
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On windows you can use [this](http://www.chrysocome.net/dd) tool. Example command would be (as Administrator):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
dd if=Qubes-R2-rc2-x86_64-DVD.iso of=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\Partition0 bs=1M --size --progress
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Be sure to use a correct device as the target in the dd command above (instead of sdX or Harddisk1)**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Before proceeding with the installation, you are encouraged to first read all the information on this page, especially the *Known Issues* paragraph.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Then, when finally ready, boot your system from the installer DVD and follow the instructions on screen. The installer is very simple and asks very few questions -- it's actually easier to install Qubes right now than most other Linux distributions!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The installer loads Xen right at the beginning, so chances are high that if you can see the installer's graphical screen, Qubes will work on your system :)
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Upgrading
|
|
||||||
---------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Upgrading from Qubes R2 rc1 should be a simple matter of installing updates for [dom0](/doc/SoftwareUpdateDom0/) and [VMs](/doc/SoftwareUpdateVM/).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Users of R2 beta 3 should follow instructions on how to upgrade to Qubes R2 rc1 [here](/doc/UpgradeToR2rc1/).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Troubleshooting problems with the installer
|
|
||||||
-------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the installer fails for some reason, typically because of the graphics card not being correctly supported, it is possible to try booting the installer with a different kernel -- to do that, choose Troubleshooting menu in the Installer Welcome screen, and later choose an option to proceed with one of the kernels provided:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![qubes-r2-rc2-installer-troubleshooting.png](/attachment/wiki/InstallationGuideR2rc2/qubes-r2-rc2-installer-troubleshooting.png)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The installer ships with 4 different kernels (3.12, 3.11, 3.9 and 3.7) and all those kernel will be installed (regardless of which is selected to run the installer) so it is later always possible to boot the Qubes OS using any of those kernels.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Known Issues
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- On some graphics cards the Xfce4 Window Manager (one of the two supported Dom0 Windows Managers in Qubes R2, the other being KDE) might behave "strangely", e.g. decorations might not be drawn sometimes. Also the accompanying lightdm login manager might incorrectly display the wallpaper. If you're facing those problems, it's advisable to use the KDE Window Manager and kdm instead of Xfce4 and lightdm (this is default if one chooses the KDE only installation option in the installer).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Some icons in the Qubes Manager application might not be drawn correctly when using the Xfce4 environment in Dom0. If this bothers you, please use the KDE environment instead.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- If your GPU is not correctly supported by the Dom0 kernel (e.g. the 3D desktop effects do not run smoothly) then you might experience "heaviness" with Windows 7-based AppVMs. In that case, please solve the problem with your GPU support in Dom0 in the first place (by using a different kernel), or install Qubes OS on a different system.

Upgrading
|
|
||||||
---------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The easiest and safest way to upgrade to Qubes R3.0rc1 is to install it from scratch and use [qubes backup and restore tools](/doc/BackupRestore/) for migrating of all of the user VMs.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Users or Qubes R2 can upgrade using experimental procedure that has been described [here](/doc/UpgradeToR3.0rc1/).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Known Issues
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- There is no Qubes Windows Tools for Qubes R3.0 yet. We are working on this
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- UEFI is not supported, you need to enable "legacy boot" in BIOS before installing Qubes OS
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Some icons in the Qubes Manager application might not be drawn correctly when using the Xfce4 environment in Dom0. If this bothers you, please use the KDE environment instead.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- If your GPU is not correctly supported by the Dom0 kernel (e.g. the 3D desktop effects do not run smoothly) then you might experience "heaviness" with Windows 7-based AppVMs. In that case, please solve the problem with your GPU support in Dom0 in the first place (by using a different kernel), or install Qubes OS on a different system.

||||||
|
|
||||||
It is advised to install updates just after system installation to apply bug fixes for (some of) the above problems.

How to build Qubes installation ISO
|
|
||||||
===================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Qubes uses [Fedora Unity Revisor](http://revisor.fedoraunity.org/) to build the installation ISO.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may want to get familiar with [Revisor documentation](http://revisor.fedoraunity.org/documentation).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Build installer packages
|
|
||||||
------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Get [Qubes Installer repository](http://git.qubes-os.org/?p=smoku/installer) and build its packages:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
cd installer
|
|
||||||
make rpms
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Packages will be in `rpm/noarch` and `rpm/x86_64`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install Revisor
|
|
||||||
---------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Next install the freshly built revisor and anaconda:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
yum install rpm/noarch/revisor*.rpm
|
|
||||||
yum install rpm/x86_64/anaconda*.rpm
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Review configuration files
|
|
||||||
--------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All configuration files for Qubes Revisor are kept in the ```conf/``` directory:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- ```conf/qubes-install.conf``` - Main Revisor configuration file. This configures Revisor to build Qubes Installation image based on Fedora 13. All other configuration files and working directories are pointed here.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- ```conf/qubes-x86_64.conf``` - This file describes all repositories needed to build Qubes for x86\_64 architecture.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- ```conf/qubes-kickstart.cfg``` - Fedora Kickstart formatted file describing which packages should land in the ISO `/Packages` repository. This describes basically what will be available for installation. The packages list built using this file will be further filtered by the comps file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- ```conf/comps-qubes.xml``` - Repository Comps file for ISO `/Packages` repository, describing packages and package groups of the installer repository. Package groups are used to select which of the packages are mandatory to install, which are optional and which are to be just available on the ISO but not installed by default (not used on Qubes).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Create/Update local repository
|
|
||||||
------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Revisor fetches all RPM packages from YUM repositories. We currently use 5 repositories:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- ```yum/installer``` (installer-related rpms)
|
|
||||||
- ```yum/qubes-dom0``` (all the Qubes stuff)
|
|
||||||
- ```yum/dom0-updates``` (for select 3rd party packages, e.g. Xorg)
|
|
||||||
- ```yum/fedora13-repo``` (local fedora 13 repo, copy from DVD)
|
|
||||||
- remote fedora repo for extra packages (usually deps for qubes-dom0)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You need to manually copy the Fedora 13 installation DVD contents (```Packages/``` and ```repodata/``` directories) into ```build/fedora13-repo```.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Also, you need to copy all the qubes dom0 rpms into ```build/yum/qubes-dom0/rpm``` and run the ```yum/update_repo.sh``` script afterwards.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In order to fill the ```build/yum/installer``` repo one can just use ```make update-repo```.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The ```build/yum/dom0-updates``` is to be used for select rpms that should also be used instead of those from the fedora (loacal and remote) repos.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Update your local repos:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
make update-repo
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Build ISO
|
|
||||||
---------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Now you're finally ready to build the ISO image:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
make iso
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
and wait...
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may add `-d 1` (or `-d 99` if you're a masochist) in the Makefile at the end of the revisor command to get (a ton of) debugging information.

Starting applications from different domains (AppVMs) is very easy.

In this example, the word processor runs in the “work” domain, which has been assigned the “green” label. It is fully isolated from other domains, such as the “untrusted” domain (assigned the “red” label -- “Watch out!”, “Danger!”) used for random Web browsing, news reading, as well as from the "work-web" domain (assigned the "yellow" label), which is used for work-related Web browsing that is not security critical. Apps from different domains run in different AppVMs and have different X servers, filesystems, etc. Notice the different color frames (labels) and VM names in the titlebars. These are drawn by the trusted Window Manager running in Dom0, and apps running in domains cannot fake them:

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Qubes Release 2 can also run Windows AppVMs in seamless mode, integrated onto the common Qubes trusted desktop, just like Linux AppVMs! The seamless GUI integration has been introduced in Qubes R2 Beta 3. This requires our dedicated Qubes Windows Support Tools to be installed in the Windows VMs first. The Qubes Windows Tools are proprietary but we distribute the binaries for free with current Qubes OS releases.

|
|
||||||
|
|

Windows AppVMs are fully integrated with the rest of the Qubes OS system, which includes things such as secure, policy governed, inter-VM file copy, clipboard, and generally whole our elastic qrexec infrastructure for secure inter-VM RPC! Starting with Qubes R2 Beta 3 we also support HVM-based templates allowing to instantly create many Windows AppVMs with shared "root filesystem" from the Template VM (but one should ensure their license allows for such instantiation of the OS in the template). Just like with Linux AppVMs!

Here we see Xfce4.10 Window Manager running in Dom0 (instead of KDE as on previous screens). Qubes supports customized Xfce4 in dom0 beginning with R2 Beta 2!

It is always clearly visible to which domain a given window belongs. Here it’s immediately clear that the passphrase-prompting window belongs to some domain with the “green” label. When we look at the titlebar, we see “[work]”, which is the name of the actual domain. Theoretically, the untrusted application (here, the “red” Firefox) beneath the prompt window could draw a similar looking window within its contents. In practice, this would be very hard, because it doesn’t know, e.g., the exact decoration style that is in use. However, if this is a concern, the user can simply try to move the more trusted window onto some empty space on the desktop such that no other window is present beneath it. Or, better yet, use the Expose-like effect (available via a hot-key). A malicious application from an untrusted domain cannot spoof the whole desktop because the trusted Window Manager will never let any domain “own” the whole screen. Its titlebar will always be visible.

Qubes is all about seamless integration from the user’s point of view. Here you can see how it virtualizes tray icons from other domains. Notice the network icon in a red frame. This icon is in fact managed by the Network Manager running in a separate NetVM. The notes icon (with the green frame around it) has been drawn by the note-taking app running in the work domain (which has the "green" label).

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All the networking runs in a special, unprivileged NetVM. (Notice the red frame around the Network Manager dialog box on the screen above.) This means that in the event that your network card driver, Wi-Fi stack, or DHCP client is compromised, the integrity of the rest of the system will not be affected! This feature requires Intel VT-d or AMD IOMMU hardware (e.g., Core i5/i7 systems).

|

Qubes lets you update all the software in all the domains all at once, in a centralized way. This is possible thanks to Qubes' unique TemplateVM technology. Note that the user is not required to shut down any AppVMs (domains) for the update process. This can be done later, at a convenient moment, and separately for each AppVM.

Qubes supports secure copy-and-paste operations between AppVMs. Only the user can initiate a copy or paste operation using a special key combination (Ctrl-Shift-C/V). Other AppVMs have no access to the clipboard buffer, so they cannot steal data from the clipboard. Only the user decides which AppVM should be given access to the clipboard. (This is done by selecting the destination AppVM’s window and pressing the Ctrl-Shift-V combination.)

Qubes' unique Disposable VMs (DispVMs) allow the user to open any file in a disposable VM in a matter of seconds! A file can be edited in a disposable VM, and any changes are projected back onto the original file. Currently, there is no way to mark files to be automatically opened in a disposable VM (one needs to right-click on the file and choose the "Open in Disposable VM" option), but this is planned for the R2 Beta 3 release.

Qubes provides an advanced infrastructure for programming inter-VM services, such as a PDF converter for untrusted files (which is described in [this article](http://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.com/2013/02/converting-untrusted-pdfs-into-trusted.html)).

Qubes OS Documentation
|
||||||
|
======================
|
||||||
|
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All [Qubes OS Project][qubes] documentation pages are stored as plain text
|
||||||
|
files in this dedicated repository. By cloning and regularly pulling from
|
||||||
|
this repo, users can maintain their own up-to-date offline copy of all
|
||||||
|
Qubes documentation rather than relying solely on the Web. Contributions
|
||||||
|
to the documentation (both new content and edits of existing content)
|
||||||
|
are welcome. To contribute, please [fork and clone][gh-fork] this repo,
|
||||||
|
make your changes, then either [submit a pull request][gh-pull] or
|
||||||
|
[send a patch][patch] to the `qubes-devel` [mailing list][lists]. If you have
|
||||||
|
a GitHub account (free), you can simply browse this repository and edit the
|
||||||
|
files here. The GitHub interface will automatically guide you through the
|
||||||
|
[fork and pull request process][gh-fork].
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Markdown Conventions
|
||||||
|
--------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All the documentation is written in Markdown for maximum accessibility. When
|
||||||
|
making contributions, please observe the following style conventions:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Use spaces instead of tabs.
|
||||||
|
* Hard wrap Markdown lines at 80 characters.
|
||||||
|
* Hard wrap Git commit message lines at 72 characters.
|
||||||
|
* This leaves exactly four spaces on each side of the commit message when
|
||||||
|
viewed in the default `git log` format.)
|
||||||
|
* If appropriate, make numerals in numbered lists match between Markdown
|
||||||
|
source and HTML output.
|
||||||
|
* In the event that a user is required to read the Markdown source
|
||||||
|
directly, this will make it easier to follow, e.g., numbered steps in a
|
||||||
|
set of instructions.
|
||||||
|
* Use hanging indentations
|
||||||
|
where appropriate.
|
||||||
|
* Use underline headings (`=====` and `-----`) if possible. If this is not
|
||||||
|
possible, use Atx-style headings on both the left and right sides
|
||||||
|
(`### H3 ###`).
|
||||||
|
* Use `[reference-style][ref]` links.

Introduction
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The **Qubes Security Pack (QSP)** is a Git repository which contains:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- [All Qubes Security Bulletins (QSBs)](/doc/SecurityBulletins/)
|
|
||||||
- [All PGP keys](https://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/)
|
|
||||||
- [Warrant canaries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary)
|
|
||||||
- Other security-related information and announcements (such as key revocations)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The QSP is located here:

History and Rationale
|
|
||||||
---------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On 2013-01-05, Joanna Rutkowska announced the QSP and explained its rationale in an [email](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-devel/twkOEaMLtNI/lZyGx6_jFCEJ) to the Qubes mailing lists:
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
Hello,
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A new Qubes Security Bulletin has been just released and is available here:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-secpack/blob/master/QSBs/qsb-013-2015.txt
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As per the previous discussions about recent problems with verifying
|
|
||||||
digital signatures on messages sent to Google Groups (thanks to
|
|
||||||
automatic footer addition by Google), we have decided to change the way
|
|
||||||
we publish Qubes Security Bulletins, as well as other security-related
|
|
||||||
info pertinent to the Qubes Project.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Starting today, we will be maintain a Git repository -- "Qubes Security
|
|
||||||
Pack" -- which will contain all the QSBs released so far, all the keys,
|
|
||||||
warrant canaries [1], and potentially some additional info or
|
|
||||||
announcements (e.g. key revocations). The whole repo can be found here:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-secpack
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note that all the keys distributed there should be signed by Qubes
|
|
||||||
Master Key. The Master Key is also attached in the repo, but should
|
|
||||||
really be obtained/verified using a different channel.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Additionally, most of the files are signed by core Qubes
|
|
||||||
developers (currently by Marek and myself) via detached signatures as
|
|
||||||
well as git tag signatures.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The are several advantages of using Git to distribute all these information:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1) Git repo is a collection of files, some of which can be detached GPG
|
|
||||||
signatures for other files and we can ensure all these files are
|
|
||||||
distributed together.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2) Git makes it easy for people to clone and redistribute these
|
|
||||||
collection of files, as well as to easily host them and view on the Web.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3) Git provides for signed tags mechanisms which is another mean we
|
|
||||||
utilize to ensure integrity of the distributed files.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A few words about the Warrant Canary which we've just introduced today,
|
|
||||||
and which can be seen here:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-secpack/blob/master/canaries/canary-001-2015.txt
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Even though we're not providing any kind of services (such as e.g. email
|
|
||||||
hosting), that could be searched or tapped by authorities, there are
|
|
||||||
other possibilities that worry us [2], in the light of various recent
|
|
||||||
law "developments", such as those that might be coercing people to hand
|
|
||||||
over their private keys to authorities.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Until we fully decentralize the root of trust for Qubes, something that
|
|
||||||
requires the move to deterministic builds [3], and so won't happen
|
|
||||||
very soon, the possibility of having to disclose any of the Qubes
|
|
||||||
signing keys to anybody might have pretty serious consequences for those
|
|
||||||
who decided to entrust Qubes with anything serious. And we would like to
|
|
||||||
somehow minimize these consequences with this canary thing.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Additionally the canary is a nice way of ensuring "freshness" of our
|
|
||||||
messaging to the community.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Of course the canary doesn't solve all the problems. E.g. if my signing
|
|
||||||
keys were somehow stolen without our knowledge, it wouldn't help.
|
|
||||||
Neither it could help in case me being or becoming a miscreant. And
|
|
||||||
probably it doesn't address many other potential problems, which could
|
|
||||||
only be solved one day with a multi-signature scheme. But anyway, until
|
|
||||||
that time, this is the best we can do, I think.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And congrats to Jann for the very interesting clipboard attack (even
|
|
||||||
though mostly theoretical, still very cool)!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Thanks,
|
|
||||||
joanna.

How to Obtain, Verify, and Read
|
|
||||||
-------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Reporting Security Issues in Qubes OS
|
|
||||||
=====================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you believe you have found a security issue affecting Qubes OS, either directly or indirectly (e.g. the issue affects Xen in a configuration that is used in Qubes OS), then we would be more than happy to hear from you!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
We promise to treat any reported issue seriously and, if the investigation confirms it affects Qubes, to patch it within a reasonable time, and also to release a public Security Bulletin that describes the issue, discusses potential impact of the vulnerability, references applicable patches or workarounds, and also credits the discoverer.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The list of all Qubes Security Advisories published so far can be found [here](/doc/SecurityBulletins/).

Qubes Source Code Repositories
|
|
||||||
==============================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All the Qubes code is kept in GIT repositories. We divided the project into several components, each of which has its own separate repository, some of them:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `core-admin.git` -- the core Qubes infrastructure responsible for VM management, VM templates, fs sharing, etc.
|
|
||||||
- `gui-daemon.git` -- GUI virtualization, Dom0 side.
|
|
||||||
- `gui-agent-linux.git` -- GUI virtualization, Linux VM side.
|
|
||||||
- `linux-template-builder.git` - scripts and other files used to create Qubes templates images.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can browse the repositories [online on
|
|
||||||
GitHub](https://github.com/QubesOS/). The Qubes official repositories are on
|
|
||||||
this `QubesOS` github account.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To clone a repository:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
git clone git://github.com/QubesOS/<repo_name>.git <repo_name>
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
e.g.:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
git clone git://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-admin.git core-admin
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you want to contribute to the project, there are two preferred ways:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Use github [fork & pull requests](https://guides.github.com/activities/forking/)
|
|
||||||
2. [sending a patch](/doc/DevelFaq/#q-how-do-i-submit-a-patch) via the project's mailing list (`git format-patch`).

How to Mount USB Sticks to AppVMs
|
|
||||||
=================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
(**Note:** In the present context, the term "USB stick" denotes any [USB mass storage device](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class). In addition to smaller flash memory sticks, this includes things like USB external hard drives.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Qubes supports the ability to mount a USB stick to any AppVM easily, no matter which VM actually handles the USB controller. (The USB controller may be assigned on the **Devices** tab of an AppVM's settings page in Qubes VM Manager or by using the [qvm-pci command](/doc/AssigningDevices/).)
|
|
||||||
|

As of Qubes R2 Beta 3, USB stick mounting has been integrated into the Qubes VM Manger GUI. Simply insert your USB stick, right-click the desired AppVM in the Qubes VM Manager list, click **Attach/detach block devices**, and select your desired action and device.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A command-line tool, `qvm-block`, is also available. This tool can be used to assign a USB stick to an AppVM as follows:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Insert your USB stick.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. In a dom0 console (running as normal user), list all available block devices:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
qvm-block -l
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> This will list all available block devices connected to any USB controller in your system, no matter in which VM hosts the controller. The name of the VM hosting the USB controller is displayed before the colon in the device name. The string after the colon is the name of the device used within the VM.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> **Note:** If your device is not listed here, you may refresh the list by calling (from the VM to which device is connected):
|
|
||||||
>
|
|
||||||
> {% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
> sudo udevadm trigger --action=change
|
|
||||||
> {% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Connect the device to an AppVM:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
qvm-block -a personal dom0:sda
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Note:** The order of these parameters was changed in Qubes 1.0-rc1.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
> This will attach the device as "/dev/xvdi" in the AppVM.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. The USB stick is now attached to the AppVM. If using a default AppVM, you may open Nautilus file manager in the AppVM, and your stick should be visible in the **Devices** panel on the left.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. When you finish using your USB stick, click the eject button or right-click and select **Unmount**.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. In a dom0 console, unmount the stick:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
qvm-block -d <device> <vmname>
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. You may now remove the device.

VM Configuration Interface
|
|
||||||
==========================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Qubes VM have some settings set by dom0 based on VM settings. There are multiple configuration channels, which includes:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- XenStore
|
|
||||||
- QubesDB - replacing most of xenstore (in R3 only)
|
|
||||||
- Qubes RPC (called at VM startup, or when configuration changed)
|
|
||||||
- GUI protocol
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
xenstore
|
|
||||||
--------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Keys exposed by dom0 to VM (only Qubes specific included):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-vm-type` - VM type, the same as `type` field in `qvm-prefs`. One of `AppVM`, `ProxyVM`, `NetVM`, `TemplateVM`, `HVM`, `TemplateHVM`
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-vm-updatable` - flag whether VM is updatable (whether changes in root.img will survive VM restart). One of `True`, `False`
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-timezone - name of timezone based on dom0 timezone. For example `Europe/Warsaw`
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-keyboard` - keyboard layout based on dom0 layout. Its syntax is suitable for `xkbcomp` command (after expanding escape sequences like `\n` or `\t`). This is meant only as some default value, VM can ignore this option and choose its own keyboard layout (this is what keyboard setting from Qubes Manager does). This entry is created as part of gui-daemon initialization (so not available when gui-daemon disabled, or not started yet).
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-debug-mode` - flag whether VM have debug mode enabled (qvm-prefs setting). One of `1`, `0`
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-service/SERVICE_NAME` - subtree for VM services controlled from dom0 (using qvm-service command or Qubes Manager). One of `1`, `0`. Note that not every service will be listed here, if entry is missing, it means "use VM default". List of currently supported services is in [qvm-service man page](/wiki/Dom0Tools/QvmService)
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-netmask` - network mask (only when VM has netvm set); currently hardcoded "255.255.255.0"
|
|
||||||
- \`qubes-ip - IP address for this VM (only when VM has netvm set)
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-gateway` - default gateway IP and primary DNS address (only when VM has netvm set); VM should add host route to this address directly via eth0 (or whatever default interface name is)
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-secondary-dns` - secondary DNS address (only when VM has netvm set)
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-netvm-gateway` - same as `qubes-gateway` in connected VMs (only when VM serves as network backend - ProxyVM and NetVM); because this is also set as primary DNS in connected VMs, traffic sent to this IP on port 53 should be redirected to DNS server
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-netvm-netmask` - same as `qubes-netmask` in connected VMs (only when VM serves as network backend - ProxyVM and NetVM)
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-netvm-network` - network address (only when VM serves as network backend - ProxyVM and NetVM); can be also calculated from qubes-netvm-gateway and qubes-netvm-netmask
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-netvm-secondary-dns` - same as `qubes-secondary-dns` in connected VMs (only when VM serves as network backend - ProxyVM and NetVM); traffic sent to this IP on port 53 should be redirected to secondary DNS server
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Keys set by VM for passing info to dom0:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- `memory/meminfo` - used memory (updated by qubes-meminfo-writer), input information for qmemman; Format: 6 lines (EOL encoded as `\n`), each in format "FIELD: VALUE kB"; fields: `MemTotal`, `MemFree`, `Buffers`, `Cached`, `SwapTotal`, `SwapFree`; meaning the same as in `/proc/meminfo` in Linux
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-block-devices` - list of block devices exposed by this VM, each device (subdirectory) should be named in a way that VM can attach the device based on it. Each should contain those entries:
|
|
||||||
- `desc` - device description (ASCII text)
|
|
||||||
- `size` - device size in bytes
|
|
||||||
- `mode` - default connection mode; `r` for read-only, `w` for read-write
|
|
||||||
- `qubes-usb-devices` - list of USB devices exposed by this VM, each device (subdirectory) should contain:
|
|
||||||
- `desc` - device description (ASCII text)
|
|
||||||
- `usb-ver` - USB version (1, 2 or 3)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Qubes RPC
|
|
||||||
---------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Services called by dom0 to provide some VM configuration:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- qubes.SetMonitorLayout - provide list of monitors, one in a line, each line contains four numbers: width height X Y
|
|
||||||
- qubes.WaitForSession - called to wait for full VM startup
|
|
||||||
- qubes.GetAppmenus - receive appmenus from given VM (template); TODO: describe format here
|
|
||||||
- qubes.GetImageRGBA - receive image/application icon: TODO: describe format and parameters here
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
GUI protocol
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
GUI initialization includes passing the whole screen dimensions from dom0 to VM. This will most likely be overwritten by qubes.SetMonitorLayout Qubes RPC call.

Overview of VM block devices
|
|
||||||
============================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Every VM has 4 block devices connected:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **xvda** - base root device (/) - details described below
|
|
||||||
- **xvdb** - private.img - place where VM always can write.
|
|
||||||
- **xvdc** - volatile.img, discarded at each VM restart - here is placed swap and temporal "/" modifications (see below)
|
|
||||||
- **xvdd** - modules.img - kernel modules and firmware
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
private.img (xvdb)
|
|
||||||
------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is mounted as /rw and here is placed all VM private data. This includes:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- */home* - which is symlink to /rw/home
|
|
||||||
- */usr/local* - which is symlink to /rw/usrlocal
|
|
||||||
- some config files (/rw/config) called by qubes core scripts (ex /rw/config/rc.local)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
modules.img (xvdd)
|
|
||||||
------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As kernel is chosen in dom0, not VM there must be some way to provide matching kernel modules to VM OS. Qubes kernel dir consists of 3 files:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- *vmlinuz* - actual kernel
|
|
||||||
- *initramfs* - initial ramdisk containing script to setup snapshot devices (see below) and mount /lib/modules
|
|
||||||
- *modules.img* - filesystem image of /lib/modules with matching kernel modules and firmware (/lib/firmware/updates is symlinked to /lib/modules/firmware)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Normally kernel "package" is common for many VMs (can be set using qvm-prefs). One of them can be set as default (qvm-set-default-kernel) to simplify kernel updates (by default all VMs uses default kernel). All installed kernels are placed in /var/lib/qubes/vm-kernels as separate subdirs. In this case, modules.img is attached to VM as R/O device.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There is special case when VM can have custom kernel - when it is updateable (StandaloneVM or TemplateVM) and kernel is set to "none" (by qvm-prefs). In this case VM uses kernel from "kernels" VM subdir and modules.img is attached as R/W device. FIXME: "none" should be renamed to "custom".
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Qubes TemplateVM implementation
|
|
||||||
===============================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
TemplateVM has a shared root.img across all AppVMs that are based on it. This mechanism has some advantages over a simple common device connected to multiple VMs:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- root.img can be modified while there are AppVMs running - without corrupting the filesystem
|
|
||||||
- multiple AppVMs that are using different versions of root.img (from various points in time) can be running concurrently
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are two layers of the device-mapper snapshot device; the first one enables modifying root.img without stopping the AppVMs and the second one, which is contained in the AppVM, enables temporal modifications to its filesystem. These modifications will be discarded after a restart of the AppVM.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![TemplateSharing2.png](/attachment/wiki/TemplateImplementation/TemplateSharing2.png)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Snapshot device in Dom0
|
|
||||||
-----------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This device consists of:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- root.img - real template filesystem
|
|
||||||
- root-cow.img - differences between the device as seen by AppVM and the current root.img
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The above is achieved through creating device-mapper snapshots for each version of root.img. When an AppVM is started, a xen hotplug script (/etc/xen/scripts/block-snapshot) reads the inode numbers of root.img and root-cow.img; these numbers are used as the snapshot device's name. When a device with the same name exists the new AppVM will use it - therefore, AppVMs based on the same version of root.img will use the same device. Of course, the device-mapper cannot use the files directly - it must be connected through /dev/loop\*. The same mechanism detects if there is a loop device associated with a file determined by the device and inode numbers - or if creating a new loop device is necessary.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When an AppVM is stopped the xen hotplug script checks whether the device is still in use - if it is not, the script removes the snapshot and frees the loop device.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Changes to template filesystem
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In order for the full potential of the snapshot device to be realized, every change in root.img must save the original version of the modified block in root-cow.img. This is achieved by a snapshot-origin device.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When TemplateVM is started, it receives the snapshot-origin device connected as a root device (in read-write mode). Therefore, every change to this device is immediately saved in root.img - but remains invisible to the AppVM, which uses the snapshot.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When TemplateVM is stopped, the xen script moves root-cow.img to root-cow.img.old and creates a new one (using the qvm-template-commit tool). The snapshot device will remain untouched due to the loop device, which uses an actual file on the disk (by inode, not by name). Linux kernel frees the old root-cow.img files as soon as they are unused by all snapshot devices (to be exact, loop devices). The new root-cow.img file will get a new inode number, and so new AppVMs will get new snapshot devices (with different names).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Rollback template changes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There is possibility to rollback last template changes. Saved root-cow.img.old contains all changes made during last TemplateVM run. Rolling back changes is done by reverting this "binary patch".
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is done using snapshot-merge device-mapper target (available from 2.6.34 kernel). It requires that no other snapshot device uses underlying block devices (root.img, root-cow.img via loop device). Because of this all AppVMs based on this template must be halted during this operation.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Steps performed by **qvm-revert-template-changes**:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Ensure that no other VMs uses this template.
|
|
||||||
2. Prepare snapshot device with ***root-cow.img.old*** instead of *root-cow.img* (*/etc/xen/scripts/block-snapshot prepare*).
|
|
||||||
3. Replace *snapshot* device-mapper target with *snapshot-merge*, other parameters (chunk size etc) remains untouched. Now kernel starts merging changes stored in *root-cow.img.old* into *root.img*. d-m device can be used normally (if needed).
|
|
||||||
4. Waits for merge completed: *dmsetup status* shows used snapshot blocks - it should be equal to metadata size when completed.
|
|
||||||
5. Replace *snapshot-merge* d-m target back to *snapshot*.
|
|
||||||
6. Cleanup snapshot device (if nobody uses it it the moment).
|
|
||||||
7. Move *root-cow.img.old* to *root-cow.img* (overriding existing file).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Snapshot device in AppVM
|
|
||||||
------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Root device is exposed to AppVM in read-only mode. AppVM can write only in:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- private.img - persistent storage (mounted in /rw) used for /home, /usr/local - in future versions, its use may be extended
|
|
||||||
- volatile.img - temporary storage, which is discarded after an AppVM restart
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
volatile.img is divided into two partitions:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. changes to root device
|
|
||||||
2. swap partition
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Inside of an AppVM, the root device is wrapped by the snapshot in the first partition of volatile.img. Therefore, the AppVM can write anything to its filesystem - however, such changes will be discarded after a restart.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
StandaloneVM
|
|
||||||
------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Standalone VM enables user to modify root filesystem persistently. It can be created using *--standalone* switch to *qvm-create*.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is implemented just like TemplateVM (has own root.img connected as R/W device), but no other VMs can be based on it.

Templates
|
|
||||||
=========
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Every AppVM in Qubes is based on some template, this is where all the software
|
|
||||||
available for AppVMs is installed. Default template is based on Fedora, but
|
|
||||||
there are additional templates based on other Linux distributions, or with some
|
|
||||||
additional software installed by default. This concept is described
|
|
||||||
[here](/doc/GettingStarted/#appvms-domains-and-templatevms).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Some templates are available in ready to use binary form, but some of them are
|
|
||||||
only as a source code, which can be built using [Qubes Builder](/doc/QubesBuilder/).
|
|
||||||
Especially some templates "flavors" are available in source code form only.
|
|
||||||
Take a look at [Qubes Builder
|
|
||||||
documentation](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-builder/blob/master/README.md)
|
|
||||||
how to compile them.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
ITL Supported templates
|
|
||||||
-----------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For those templates ITL is responsible for build and releasing updates,
|
|
||||||
especially ITL guarantees that the binary updates are compiled from exactly
|
|
||||||
the source code we publish.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Fedora
|
|
||||||
- [Fedora - Minimal](/doc/Templates/FedoraMinimal)
|
|
||||||
- [Debian](/doc/Templates/Debian/)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Community Supported templates
|
|
||||||
-----------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Those templates are supported by Qubes Community. Some of them are available in
|
|
||||||
ready to use binary package (built by ITL), some are only in source code form.
|
|
||||||
In any case ITL does not provide updates for those templates, but such updates
|
|
||||||
can be provided by template maintainer.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In short - by installing those templates, you trust not only ITL and
|
|
||||||
distribution maintainers, but also the template maintainer. It can also happen
|
|
||||||
that those templates are somehow less stable, because we do not test them.

We have uploaded a new "minimal" template to our templates-itl repo. The template weighs only 150MB and has most of the stuff cut off, except for minimal X and xterm.

||||||
Install
|
|
||||||
-------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It can be installed via the following command:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-20-x64-minimal
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Usage
|
|
||||||
-----
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is a good idea to clone the original template, and make any changes in the new clone instead:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-clone fedora-20-x64-minimal <your new template name>
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The sudo package is not installed by default, so lets install it:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@F20-Minimal ~]$ su -
|
|
||||||
[user@F20-Minimal ~]$ yum install sudo
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The rsyslog logging service is not installed by default. All logging is now being handled by the systemd journal. Users requiring the rsyslog service should install it manually.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To access the journald log, use the following command: `journalctl`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### as a NetVM
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If You want to use this template to for standard NetVMs You should install some more packeges:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@F20-Minimal ~]$ sudo yum install NetworkManager network-manager-applet wireless-tools dbus-x11 dejavu-sans-fonts tar tinyproxy
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And maybe some more optional but useful packages as well:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@F20-Minimal ~]$ sudo yum install pciutils vim-minimal less tcpdump telnet psmisc nmap nmap-ncat gnome-keyring
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If Your network device needs some firmware then you should also install the corresponding packages as well. The `lspci; yum search firmware` command will help to choose the right one :)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### as a ProxyVM
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If You want to use this template as a ProxyVM You may want to install evem more packages
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Firewall
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This template is ready to use for a standard firewall VM. However, using the default minimal template with the default firewall and default update settings will result in an error when attempting to update dom0 (`qubes-dom0-update`), since this process requires `tar`, which is not present by default in the minimal template.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### VPN
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The needed packages are depend on the VPN technology. `yum search "NetworkManager VPN plugin"` command may help you to choose the right one.
|
|
||||||

Ubuntu template(s)
|
|
||||||
==================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you like to use Ubuntu Linux distribution in your AppVMs, you can build and
|
|
||||||
install one of available Ubuntu templates. Those template currently are not
|
|
||||||
available in ready to use binary packages.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Install
|
|
||||||
-------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It can built using [Qubes Builder](/doc/QubesBuilder/). You can also access its
|
|
||||||
documentation in the [source code
|
|
||||||
repository](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-builder/blob/master/README.md).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To quickly prepare the builder configuration, you can use `setup` script
|
|
||||||
available in the repository - it will interactively ask you which templates you
|
|
||||||
want to build.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

How to create a bootable USB stick from Qubes ISO
|
|
||||||
=================================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Qubes ISO image is already prepared to boot from USB disk, you just need to copy the ISO onto the USB device, e.g. using dd:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
dd if=Qubes-R2-Beta2-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdX
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Be sure to use a correct device as the target in the dd command above (instead of sdX)**

Customization of Disposable VM
|
|
||||||
==============================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is possible to change the settings of each new Disposable VM (DispVM). This can be done by customizing the DispVM template:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Start a terminal in the `fedora-20-x64-dvm` TemplateVM by running the following command in a dom0 terminal. (By default, this TemplateVM is not shown in Qubes VM Manager. However, it can be shown by selecting "Show/Hide internal VMs.")
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-20-x64-dvm gnome-terminal
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. Change the VM's settings and/or applications, as desired. Note that currently Qubes supports exactly one DispVM template, so any changes you make here will affect all DispVMs. Some examples of changes you may want to make include:
|
|
||||||
- Changing Firefox's default startup settings and homepage.
|
|
||||||
- Changing Nautilus' default file preview settings.
|
|
||||||
- Changing the DispVM's default NetVM. For example, you may wish to set the NetVM to "none." Then, whenever you start a new DispVM, you can choose your desired ProxyVM manually (by changing the newly-started DipsVMs settings). This is useful if you sometimes wish to use a DispVM with a TorVM, for example. It is also useful if you sometimes wish to open untrusted files in a network-disconnected DispVM.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. Create an empty `/home/user/.qubes-dispvm-customized` file:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@fedora-20-x64-dvm ~]$ touch /home/user/.qubes-dispvm-customized
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. Shutdown the VM (either by `poweroff` from VM terminal, or `qvm-shutdown` from dom0 terminal).
|
|
||||||
5. Regenerate the DispVM template:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create-default-dvm --default-template --default-script
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Note:** All of the above requires at least qubes-core-vm \>= 2.1.2 installed in template.

Qubes Split GPG
|
|
||||||
===============
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
What is Split GPG and why should I use it instead of the standard GPG?
|
|
||||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Split GPG implements a concept similar to having a smart card with your private GPG keys, except that the role of the "smart card" plays another Qubes AppVM. This way one, not-so-trusted domain, e.g. the one where Thunderbird is running, can delegate all crypto operations, such as encryption/decryption and signing to another, more trusted, network-isolated, domain. This way a compromise of your domain where the Thunderbird or other client app is running -- arguably a not-so-unthinkable scenario -- does not allow the attacker to automatically also steal all your keys (we should make a rather obvious comment here that the so-often-used passphrases on private keys are pretty meaningless because the attacker can easily set up a simple backdoor which would wait until the user enters the passphrase and steal the key then).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The diagram below presents the big picture of Split GPG architecture.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![split-gpg-diagram.png](/attachment/wiki/UserDoc/SplitGpg/split-gpg-diagram.png)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Advantages of Split GPG vs. traditional GPG with a smart card
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is often thought that the use of smart cards for private key storage guarantees ultimate safety. While this might be true (unless the attacker can find a usually-very-expensive-and-requiring-physical-presence way to extract the key from the smart card) but only with regards to the safety of the private key itself. However, there is usually nothing that could stop the attacker from requesting the smart card to perform decryption of all the user documents the attacker has found or need to decrypt. In other words, while protecting the user's private key is an important task, we should not forget that ultimately it is the user data that are to be protected and that the smart card chip has no way of knowing the requests to decrypt documents are now coming from the attacker's script and not from the user sitting in front of the monitor. (Similarly the smart card doesn't make the process of digitally signing a document or a transaction in any way more secure -- the user cannot know what the chip is really signing. Unfortunately this problem of signing reliability is not solvable by Split GPG)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
With Qubes Split GPG this problem is drastically minimized, because each time the key is to be used the user is asked for consent (with a definable time out, 5 minutes by default), plus is always notified each time the key is used via a tray notification from the domain where GPG backend is running. This way it would be easy to spot unexpected requests to decrypt documents.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![r2-split-gpg-1.png](/attachment/wiki/UserDoc/SplitGpg/r2-split-gpg-1.png) ![r2-split-gpg-3.png](/attachment/wiki/UserDoc/SplitGpg/r2-split-gpg-3.png)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Current limitations
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Current implementation requires importing of public keys to the vault domain. This opens up an avenue to attack the gpg running in the backend domain via a hypothetical bug in public key importing code. See ticket \#474 for more details and plans how to get around this problem, as well as the section on [using split GPG with subkeys](/wiki/UserDoc/SplitGpg#Advanced:UsingSplitGPGwithSubkeys) below.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- It doesn't solve the problem of allowing the user to know what is to be signed before the operation gets approved. Perhaps the GPG backend domain could start a Disposable VM and have the to-be-signed document displayed there? To Be Determined.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Verifying detached signatures does not work (see \#900). You have to have public keys in AppVM and some means to use different command to verify them. Both git and Enigmail does not allow that and you have to choose between [SplitGpg](/wiki/UserDoc/SplitGpg) and PGP/MIME.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Configuring and using Split GPG
|
|
||||||
-------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Start with creating a dedicated AppVM for storing your keys (the GPG backend domain). It is recommended that this domain be network disconnected (set its netvm to `none`) and only used for this one purpose. In later examples this AppVM is named `work-gpg`, but of course it might have any other name.

### Setting up the GPG backend domain
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Make sure the gpg is installed there and there are some private keys in the keyring, e.g.:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@work-gpg ~]$ gpg -K
|
|
||||||
/home/user/.gnupg/secring.gpg
|
|
||||||
-----------------------------
|
|
||||||
sec 4096R/3F48CB21 2012-11-15
|
|
||||||
uid Qubes OS Security Team <security@qubes-os.org>
|
|
||||||
ssb 4096R/30498E2A 2012-11-15
|
|
||||||
(...)
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is pretty much all that is required. However one might also want to modify the default timeout which tells the backend for how long the user's approval for key access should be valid (default 5 minutes). This is adjustable via `QUBES_GPG_AUTOACCEPT` variable. One can override it e.g. in `~/.bash_profile`:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@work-gpg ~]$ echo "export QUBES_GPG_AUTOACCEPT=86400" >> ~/.bash_profile
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Configuring the client apps to use split GPG backend
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Normally it should be enough to set the `QUBES_GPG_DOMAIN` to the GPG backend domain name and use `qubes-gpg-client` in place of `gpg`, e.g.:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@work ~]$ export QUBES_GPG_DOMAIN=work-gpg
|
|
||||||
[user@work ~]$ gpg -K
|
|
||||||
[user@work ~]$ qubes-gpg-client -K
|
|
||||||
/home/user/.gnupg/secring.gpg
|
|
||||||
-----------------------------
|
|
||||||
sec 4096R/3F48CB21 2012-11-15
|
|
||||||
uid Qubes OS Security Team <security@qubes-os.org>
|
|
||||||
ssb 4096R/30498E2A 2012-11-15
|
|
||||||
(...)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[user@work ~]$ qubes-gpg-client secret_message.txt.asc
|
|
||||||
(...)
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note that running normal `gpg -K` in the demo above shows no private keys stored in this AppVM.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Configuring Thunderbird/Enigmail for use with Split GPG
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
However, when using Thunderbird with Enigmail extension it is not enough, because Thunderbird doesn't preserve the environment variables. Instead it is recommended to use a simple script provided by `/usr/bin/qubes-gpg-client-wrapper` file by pointing Enigmail to use this script instead of the standard GnuPG binary:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
![tb-enigmail-split-gpg-settings-2.png](/attachment/wiki/UserDoc/SplitGpg/tb-enigmail-split-gpg-settings-2.png)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The script also sets the QUBES\_GPG\_DOMAIN variable automatically based on the content of the file `/rw/config/gpg-split-domain`, which should be set to the name of the GPG backend VM. This file survives the AppVM reboot, of course.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@work ~]$ sudo bash
|
|
||||||
[user@work ~]$ echo "work-gpg" > /rw/config/gpg-split-domain
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
*NOTE*: A recent engimail update, version `thunderbird-enigmail-1.7-1`, introduced changes in how Enigmail expects to execute GPG binary and so requires an updated split-gpg package with version \>= `qubes-gpg-split-2.0.7-1`. Please make sure you have all the latest qubes packages installed in your template.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### How to use `gpg2` instead of `gpg`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In your GPG backend domain's TemplateVM:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. `sudo vim /etc/qubes-rpc/qubes.Gpg`
|
|
||||||
2. Change `/usr/bin/gpg` to `/usr/bin/gpg2`.
|
|
||||||
3. Ensure that your key has a **blank passphrase**. If not, you will encounter an error.
|
|
||||||
4. Shut down the TemplateVM and restart the GPG backend domain.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Importing public keys
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use `qubes-gpg-import-key` in the client AppVM to import the key into the GPG backend VM. Of course a (safe, unspoofable) user consent dialog box is displayed to accept this.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[user@work ~]$ export QUBES_GPG_DOMAIN=work-gpg
|
|
||||||
[user@work ~]$ qubes-gpg-import-key ~/Downloads/marmarek.asc
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}

|
||||||
Advanced: Using Split GPG with Subkeys
|
|
||||||
--------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Users with particularly high security requirements may wish to use split GPG with [subkeys](https://wiki.debian.org/Subkeys). However, this setup comes at a significant cost: It will be impossible to sign other people's keys with the master secret key without breaking this security model. Nonetheless, if signing others' keys is not required, then split GPG with subkeys offers unparalleled security for one's master secret key.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Setup Description
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In this example, the following keys are stored in the following locations:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
||
|
|
||||||
|**PGP Key(s)**|**VM Name**|
|
|
||||||
|master secret key|vault|
|
|
||||||
|secret subkeys|work-gpg|
|
|
||||||
|public key|work-email|
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
master secret key (sec)
|
|
||||||
It is recommended that this key be created as a **certify-only (C)** key, i.e., a key which is capable only of signing other keys. This key may be created *without* an expiration date. This is for two reasons. First, the master secret key is never to leave the vault VM, so it is extremely unlikely ever to be obtained by an adversary (see below). Second, an adversary who *does* manage to obtain the master secret key either possesses the passphrase to unlock the key, or he does not. If he does, then he can simply use the passphrase in order to legally extend the expiration date of the key (or remove it entirely). If he does not, then he cannot use the key. In either case, an expiration date provides no additional benefit. It is, however, recommended that a **revocation certificate** be created so that the master keypair may be revoked in the (exceedingly unlikely) event that an adversary obtains both the master secret key *and* the passphrase. It is recommended that the master secret key passphrase only ever be input in the vault VM. (Subkeys should use a different passphrase; see below).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
secret subkeys (ssb)
|
|
||||||
It is recommended that two subkeys be created: one for **signing (S)**, and one for **encryption (E)**. It is further recommended that a *different* passphrase be used for these subkeys than for the master secret key. Finally, it is recommended that each of these subkeys be created with a reasonable expiration date (e.g., one year), and that a *new* set of subkeys be created whenever the existing set expires, rather than the expiration date of the existing keys being extended. This is because an adversary who obtains any existing encryption subkey (for example) will be able to use it in order to decrypt all emails (for example) which were encrypted with that subkey. If the same subkey were to continue to be used--and its expiration date continually extended--only that one key would need to be stolen (e.g., as a result of the work-gpg VM being compromised; see below) in order to decrypt *all* of the user's emails. If, on the other hand, each encryption subkey is used for at most approximately one year, then an adversary who obtains the secret subkey will be capable of decrypting at most approximately one year's worth of emails.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
public key (pub)
|
|
||||||
This is the complement of the master secret key. It should be uploaded to keyservers and may be signed by others.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
vault
|
|
||||||
This is a network-isolated VM. The initial master keypair and subkeys are generated in this VM. The master secret key *never* leaves this VM under *any* circumstances. No files or text is *ever* [copied](/wiki/CopyingFiles#Oninter-domainfilecopysecurity) or [pasted](/wiki/CopyPaste#Clipboardautomaticpolicyenforcement) into this VM under *any* circumstances.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
work-gpg
|
|
||||||
This is a network-isolated VM. This VM is used *only* as the GPG backend for work-email. The secret subkeys (but *not* the master secret key) are [copied](/wiki/CopyingFiles) from the vault VM to this VM. Files from less trusted VMs are *never* copied into this VM under *any* circumstances.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
work-email
|
|
||||||
This VM has access to the mail server. It accesses the work-gpg VM via the split GPG protocol. The public key may be stored in this VM so that it can be attached to emails and for other such purposes.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Security Benefits
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In the standard split GPG setup, there are at least two ways in which the work-gpg VM might be compromised. First, an attacker who is capable of exploiting a hypothetical bug in work-email's [MUA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_user_agent) could gain control of the work-email VM and send a malformed request which exploits a hypothetical bug in the GPG backend (running in the work-gpg VM), giving the attacker control of the work-gpg VM. Second, a malicious public key file which is imported to the work-gpg VM might exploit a hypothetical bug in the GPG backend which is running there, again giving the attacker control of the work-gpg VM. In either case, such an attacker might then be able to leak both the master secret key and its passphrase (which is regularly input in the work-gpg VM and is therefore easily obtained by an attacker who controls this VM) back to the work-email VM or to another VM (e.g., the netvm, which is always untrusted by default) via the split GPG protocol or other [covert channels](/wiki/DataLeaks).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In the alternative setup described in this section (i.e., the subkey setup), even an attacker who manages to gain access to the work-gpg VM will not be able to obtain the user's master secret key since it is simply not there. Rather, the master secret key remains in the vault VM, which is extremely unlikely to be compromised, since nothing is ever copied or transferred into it.<sup>\*</sup> The attacker might nonetheless be able to leak the secret subkeys from the work-gpg VM in the manner described above, but even if this is successful, the secure master secret key can simply be used to revoke the compromised subkeys and to issue new subkeys in their place.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<sup>\*</sup>In order to gain access to the vault VM, the attacker would require the use of, e.g., a general Xen VM escape exploit or a [signed, compromised package which is already installed in the TemplateVM](/wiki/SoftwareUpdateVM#NotesontrustingyourTemplateVMs) upon which the vault VM is based.

XFCE installtion in dom0
|
|
||||||
========================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Disclaimer: XFCE isn't fully integrated with Qubes environment, it still require notable amount of manual configuration after install**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Requirements (as of 10/24/2012):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- qubes-core-dom0-2.0.37 (not released yet, possible to build from "master" branch of marmarek's repo)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Installation:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-unstable @XFCE
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Then you need to create /etc/sysconfig/desktop to stay with KDM, as GDM still starts invalid Xorg startup script:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Reboot the system. At system startup, select "Xfce session" in login screen (menu on the right bottom corner of the screen).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Configuration
|
|
||||||
-------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Things needs/recommended to be done:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- remove some useless entries from menu and panel, especially file manager, web browser
|
|
||||||
- create own favorites menu (currently standard XFCE menu isn't modified to use per-VM subsections, which makes it very inconvenient):
|
|
||||||
1. create \~/.config/menus/favorites.menu, example content:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
|
|
||||||
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd">
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<Menu>
|
|
||||||
<Name>Favorites</Name>
|
|
||||||
<DefaultAppDirs/>
|
|
||||||
<DefaultDirectoryDirs/>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

On Digital Signatures and Key Verification
|
|
||||||
==========================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
What Digital Signatures Can and Cannot Prove
|
|
||||||
--------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Most people – even programmers – are confused about the basic concepts underlying digital signatures. Therefore, most people should read this section, even if it looks trivial at first sight.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Digital signatures can prove both **authenticity** and **integrity** to a reasonable degree of certainty. **Authenticity** ensures that a given file was indeed created by the person who signed it (i.e., that it was not forged by a third party). **Integrity** ensures that the contents of the file have not been tampered with (i.e., that a third party has not undetectably altered its contents *en route*).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Digital signatures **cannot** prove any other property, e.g., that the signed file is not malicious. In fact, there is nothing that could stop someone from signing a malicious program (and it happens from time to time in reality).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The point is, of course, that people must choose who they will trust (e.g., Linus Torvalds, Microsoft, the Qubes Project, etc.) and assume that if a given file was signed by a trusted party, then it should not be malicious or buggy in some horrible way. But the decision of whether to trust any given party is beyond the scope of digital signatures. It's more of a sociological and political decision.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once we make the decision to trust certain parties, digital signatures are useful, because they make it possible for us to limit our trust only to those few parties we choose and not to worry about all the "Bad Things That Can Happen In The Middle" between us and them, e.g., server compromises (qubes-os.org will surely be compromised one day), dishonest IT staff at the hosting company, dishonest staff at the ISPs, Wi-Fi attacks, etc.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
By verifying all the files we download which purport to be authored by a party we've chosen to trust, we eliminate concerns about the bad things discussed above, since we can easily detect whether any files have been tampered with (and subsequently choose to refrain from executing, installing, or opening them).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
However, for digital signatures to make any sense, we must ensure that the public keys we use for signature verification are indeed the original ones. Anybody can generate a GPG key pair that purports to belong to "The Qubes Project," but of course only the key pair that we (i.e., the Qubes developers) generated is the legitimate one. The next section explains how to verify the validity of the Qubes signing keys.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Importing Qubes Signing Keys
|
|
||||||
----------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Every file published by the Qubes Project (ISO, RPM, TGZ files and git repositories) is digitally signed by one of the developer or release signing keys. Each such key is signed by the Qubes Master Signing Key ([\`0x36879494\`](https://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/qubes-master-signing-key.asc)).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The public portion of the Qubes Master Signing Key can be imported directly from a [ keyserver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_server_%28cryptographic%29#Keyserver_examples) (specified on first use with --keyserver URI, keyserver saved in \~/.gnupg/gpg.conf), e.g.,
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 0x427F11FD0FAA4B080123F01CDDFA1A3E36879494
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
or downloaded [here](https://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/qubes-master-signing-key.asc) and imported with gpg,
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
$ gpg --import ./qubes-master-signing-key.asc
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
or fetched directly with gpg.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
$ gpg --fetch-keys https://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/qubes-master-signing-key.asc
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For additional security we also publish the fingerprint of the Qubes Master Signing Key ([\`0x36879494\`](https://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/qubes-master-signing-key.asc)) here in this document:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
pub 4096R/36879494 2010-04-01
|
|
||||||
Key fingerprint = 427F 11FD 0FAA 4B08 0123 F01C DDFA 1A3E 3687 9494
|
|
||||||
uid Qubes Master Signing Key
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There should also be a copy of this key at the project's main website, in the [Qubes Security Pack](/doc/SecurityPack/), and in the archives of the project's [developer](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/qubes-devel/RqR9WPxICwg/kaQwknZPDHkJ) and [user](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/CLnB5uFu_YQ/ZjObBpz0S9UJ) mailing lists.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once you have obtained the Qubes Master Signing Key ([\`0x36879494\`](https://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/qubes-master-signing-key.asc)), you should verify the fingerprint of this key very carefully by obtaining copies of the fingerprint from trustworthy independent sources and comparing them to the downloaded key's fingerprint to ensure they match. Then set its trust level to "ultimate" (oh, well), so that it can be used to automatically verify all the keys signed by the Qubes Master Signing Key:

You can also download all the currently used developers' signing keys and current and older release signing keys (and also a copy of the Qubes Master Signing Key) from the [keys directory on our server](https://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/) and from the [Qubes Security Pack](/doc/SecurityPack/).
|
|

The developer signing keys are set to be valid for 1 year only, while the Qubes Master Signing Key ([\`0x36879494\`](https://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/qubes-master-signing-key.asc)) has no expiration date. This latter key was generated and is kept only within a dedicated, air-gapped "vault" machine, and the private portion will (hopefully) never leave this isolated machine.

Verifying Qubes Code
|
|
||||||
--------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Developers who fetch code from our Git server should always verify tags on the latest commit. Any commits that are not followed by a signed tag should not be trusted!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To verify a signature on a git tag, you can use:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
$ git tag -v <tag name>

Version Scheme
|
|
||||||
==============
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Beginning with R3 release, we change (and formalise) the versioning scheme. From now on, it will be as follows.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Qubes distributions and products
|
|
||||||
--------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
We intend to make it easy to make a remix of qubes, targetting another hypervisor or isolation provider. We may also create commercial products intended for specific circumstances. There is one distinguished distribution called **Qubes OS**. All source code for it is available for download under GPL licence and is openly developed on the mailing lists. The rest of this document discusses Qubes OS. Another remix may have its own version series.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Release version
|
|
||||||
---------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Qubes OS as a whole is released from time to time. Version scheme for all releases is modelled after Linux kernel version numbers. When announcing new release, we decide on the major.minor version (like `3.0`) and release `3.0-rc1`. When we feel that enough progress has been made, we put `3.0-rc2` and so on. All these versions are considered unstable and not ready for production. You may ask for support on mailing lists (specifically **qubes-devel**), but it is not guaranteed (you may for example get answer „update to newer `-rc`”). Public ISO image may or may not be available.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When enough development has been made, we announce the first stable version, like e.g. `3.0.0` (i.e. without `-rc`). This version is considered stable and we support it for some period. Core components are branched at this moment and bugfixes are backported from master branch. Questions about stable release should be directed to the **qubes-users** mailing list. No major features and interface incompatibilities are to be included in this release. We release bugfixes as `3.0.1`, `3.0.2` and so on, while new features come into the next release e.g. `3.1-rcX`.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Tickets in the tracker are sorted out by release major.minor, such as `3.0`, `3.1` (trac calls this „milestone”).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Component version
|
|
||||||
-----------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Qubes release is defined as specific versions of components, which are developed more or less separately. Their versions are composed of major and minor version of target Qubes OS release followed by third component which is just incremented. There is no apparent indication that given version is stable or not.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are some non-essential components like `qubes-apps-*` that are shared between releases. Their versions indicate oldest qubes-release that is supported. We try hard to support multiple releases by one branch to ease code maintenance.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Different Qubes releases remixes may comprise of different components and version are not guaranteed to be monotonic between releases. We may decide that for newer release some component should be downgraded. There is no guarantee that arbitrary combination of different versions of random components will yield usable (or even install-able) compilation.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Git tags and branches
|
|
||||||
---------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
We mark each component version in the repository by tag containing `v<version>`. Likewise, each Qubes OS release is marked by `R<release>` tag.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
At the release of some release we create branches named like `release2`. Only bugfixes and compatible improvements are backported to these branches. These branches should compile. All new development is done in `master` branch. This branch is totally unsupported and may not even compile depending on maintainer of repository.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All version and release tags should be made and signed by someone from ITL staff. Public keys are included in `qubes-builder` and available at [http://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/](http://keys.qubes-os.org/keys/).

Qubes is an open-source operating system designed to provide strong security for desktop computing using **Security by Compartmentalization** approach. Qubes is based on Xen, the X Window System, and Linux, and can run most Linux applications and utilize most of the Linux drivers. Qubes **Release 1** was released in September 2012 and **Release 2** in September 2014. Qubes also supports Windows-based AppVMs beginning with Release 2 (currently in "Beta"). Qubes **Release 3** is coming soon and will introduce **Hypervisor Abstraction Layer (HAL)**, allowing easy porting to alternative virtualization systems.

You can also add shortcuts manually. (This is sometimes necessary if the desired application doesn't show up in the Qubes VM Manager window.) To do this in KDE, right-click on the **Start** button and click **Menu Editor**.

That's a great question, but there's no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on the structure of your digital life, and this is at least a little different for everyone. If you plan on using your system for work, then it also depends on what kind of job you do.

It's a good idea to start out with the three domains created automatically by the installer: work, personal, and untrusted. Then, if and when you start to feel that some activity just doesn't fit into any of your existing domains, you can easily create a new domain for it. You'll also be able to easily copy any files you need to the newly created domain, as explained [here](/doc/CopyingFiles/).

It's a good idea to start out with the three domains created automatically by the installer: work, personal, and untrusted. Then, if and when you start to feel that some activity just doesn't fit into any of your existing domains, you can easily create a new domain for it. You'll also be able to easily copy any files you need to the newly created domain, as explained [here](/en/doc/copying-files/).

Unfortunately, conventional security approaches like antivirus programs and (softare and/or hardware) firewalls are no longer enough to keep out sophisticated attackers. For example, nowadays it's common for malware creators to check to see if their malware is recognized by any popular antivirus programs. If it's recognized, they scramble their code until it's no longer recognizable by the antivirus programs, then send it out. The best antivirus programs will subsequently get updated once the antivirus programmers discover the new threat, but this usually occurs at least a few days after the new attacks start to appear in the wild. By then, it's typically too late for those who have already been compromised. In addition, bugs are inevitably discovered in the common software we all use (such as our web browsers), and no antivirus program or firewall can prevent all of these bugs from being exploited.

Not all virtual machine software is equal when it comes to security. You may have used or heard of VMs in relation to software like VirtualBox or VMware Workstation. These are known as "Type 2" or "hosted" hypervisors. (The **hypervisor** is the software, firmare, or hardware that creates and runs virtual machines.) These programs are popular because they're designed primarily to be easy to use and run under popular OSes like Windows (which is called the **host** OS, since it "hosts" the VMs). However, the fact that Type 2 hypervisors run under the host OS means that they're really only as secure as the host OS itself. If the host OS is ever compromised, then any VMs it hosts are also effectivley compromised.

By contrast, Qubes uses a "Type 1" or "bare metal" hypervisor called [Xen](http://www.xenproject.org). Instead of running inside an OS, Type 1 hypervisors run directly on the "bare metal" of the hardware. This means that an attacker must be capable of subverting the hypervisor itself in order to compromise the entire system, which is vastly more difficult.

### I created a usbVM and assigned usb controllers to it. Now the usbVM wont boot.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is probably because one of the controllers does not support reset. In Qubes R2 any such errors were ignored but in Qubes R3.0 they are not.
|
||||||
|
A device that does not support reset is not safe and generally should not be assigned to a VM.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most likely the offending controller is a USB3.0 device. You can remove this controller from the usbVM, and see if this allows the VM to boot.

Alternatively you may be able to disable USB 3.0 in the BIOS.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Another solution would be to set the pci_strictreset option using qvm-prefs in dom0:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`qvm-prefs usbVM -s pci_strictreset false`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This option allows the VM to ignore the error and the VM will start.
|
||||||
|
Please review the note on [this page](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/Dom0Tools/QvmPrefs/) and be aware of the potential risk.

Emergency Backup Recovery without Qubes - format version 3
|
||||||
|
==========================================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This page describes how to perform an emergency restore of a backup created on Qubes R2 or later (which uses backup format version 3).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Qubes backup system has been designed with emergency disaster recovery in mind. No special Qubes-specific tools are required to access data backed up by Qubes. In the event a Qubes system is unavailable, you can access your data on any GNU/Linux system with the following procedure.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note:** In the following example, the backup file is both *encrypted* and *compressed*.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Untar the main backup file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[user@restore ~]$ tar -i -xvf qubes-backup-2015-06-05T123456
|
||||||
|
backup-header
|
||||||
|
backup-header.hmac
|
||||||
|
qubes.xml.000
|
||||||
|
qubes.xml.000.hmac
|
||||||
|
vm1/private.img.000
|
||||||
|
vm1/private.img.000.hmac
|
||||||
|
vm1/icon.png.000
|
||||||
|
vm1/icon.png.000.hmac
|
||||||
|
vm1/firewall.xml.000
|
||||||
|
vm1/firewall.xml.000.hmac
|
||||||
|
vm1/whitelisted-appmenus.list.000
|
||||||
|
vm1/whitelisted-appmenus.list.000.hmac
|
||||||
|
dom0-home/dom0user.000
|
||||||
|
dom0-home/dom0user.000.hmac
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Verify the integrity of the `backup-header` file, which contains basic information about your backup.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[user@restore ~]$ openssl dgst -sha512 -hmac "your_passphrase" backup-header
|
||||||
|
HMAC-SHA512(backup-header)= 5b266783e116fe3b2601a54c249ca5f5f96d421dfe6828eeaeb2dcd014e9e945c27b3d7b0f952f5d55c927318906d9c360f387b0e1f069bb8195e96543e2969c
|
||||||
|
[user@restore ~]$ cat backup-header.hmac
|
||||||
|
(stdin)= 5b266783e116fe3b2601a54c249ca5f5f96d421dfe6828eeaeb2dcd014e9e945c27b3d7b0f952f5d55c927318906d9c360f387b0e1f069bb8195e96543e2969c
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note:** The hash values should match. If they do not match, then the backup file may have been tampered with, or there may have been a storage error.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note:** If your backup was hashed with a message digest algorithm other than `sha512`, you must substitute the correct message digest command. This information is contained in the `backup-header` file (see step 3), however it is not recommended to open this file until its integrity and authenticity has been verified (the current step). A complete list of supported message digest algorithms can be found with `openssl list-message-digest-algorithms`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Read the `backup-header`. You'll need some of this information later. The file will look similar to this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[user@restore ~]$ cat backup-header
|
||||||
|
version=3
|
||||||
|
hmac-algorithm=SHA512
|
||||||
|
crypto-algorithm=aes-256-cbc
|
||||||
|
encrypted=True
|
||||||
|
compressed=True
|
||||||
|
compression-filter=gzip
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note:** If you see `version=2` here, go to [Emergency Backup Recovery - format version 2](/doc/BackupEmergencyRestoreV2/) instead.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Verify the integrity of the `private.img` file which houses your data.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[user@restore ~]$ cd vm1/
|
||||||
|
[user@restore vm1]$ openssl dgst -sha512 -hmac "your_passphrase" private.img.000
|
||||||
|
HMAC-SHA512(private.img.000)= cf83e1357eefb8bdf1542850d66d8007d620e4050b5715dc83f4a921d36ce9ce47d0d13c5d85f2b0ff8318d2877eec2f63b931bd47417a81a538327af927da3e
|
||||||
|
[user@restore vm1]$ cat private.img.000.hmac
|
||||||
|
(stdin)= cf83e1357eefb8bdf1542850d66d8007d620e4050b5715dc83f4a921d36ce9ce47d0d13c5d85f2b0ff8318d2877eec2f63b931bd47417a81a538327af927da3e
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note:** The hash values should match. If they do not match, then the backup file may have been tampered with, or there may have been a storage error.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note:** If your backup was hashed with a message digest algorithm other than `sha512`, you must substitute the correct message digest command. This information is contained in the `backup-header` file (see step 3). A complete list of supported message digest algorithms can be found with `openssl list-message-digest-algorithms`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. Decrypt the `private.img` file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[user@restore vm1]$ cat private.img.??? | openssl enc -d -pass pass:your_passphrase -aes-256-cbc -out private.img.dec
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note:** If your backup was encrypted with a cipher algorithm other than `aes-256-cbc`, you must substitute the correct cipher command. This information is contained in the `backup-header` file (see step 3). A complete list of supported cipher algorithms can be found with `openssl list-cipher-algorithms`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
6. Decompress the decrypted `private.img` file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[user@restore vm1]$ zforce private.img.dec
|
||||||
|
private.img.dec -- replaced with private.img.dec.gz
|
||||||
|
[user@restore vm1]$ gunzip private.img.dec.gz
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note:** If your backup was compressed with a program other than `gzip`, you must substitute the correct compression program. This information is contained in the `backup-header` file (see step 3).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
7. Untar the decrypted and decompressed `private.img` file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[user@restore vm1]$ tar -xvf private.img.dec
|
||||||
|
vm1/private.img
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
8. Mount the private.img file and access your data.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[user@restore vm1]$ sudo mkdir /mnt/img
|
||||||
|
[user@restore vm1]$ sudo mount -o loop vm1/private.img /mnt/img/
|
||||||
|
[user@restore vm1]$ cat /mnt/img/home/user/your_data.txt
|
||||||
|
This data has been successfully recovered!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
9. Success! If you wish to recover data from more than one VM in your backup, simply repeat steps 4--8 for each additional VM.
|
||||||

A DisposableVM is a lightweight VM that can be created quickly and which will disappear when it is finished with. Usually a Disposable VM is created in order to host a single application, like a viewer or an editor. This means that you can safely work with files without risk of compromising any of your VMs. Changes made to a file opened in a disposable VM are passed back to the originating VM.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By default a Disposable VM will inherit the netVM and firewall settings of the ancestor VM. You can change this behaviour: in the Qubes Manager go to the advanced tab of VM Settings where you can set the default netVM to be used for DisposableVMs created from that VM.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once a dispVM has been created it will appear in the Qubes Manager with the name "dispX", and NetVM and firewall rules can be set as for a normal VM.

Using a non-default template as a basis for Disposable VM
|
|
||||||
|
Customizing Disposable VMs
|
||||||
---------------------------------------------------------
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In some situations it might be beneficial to use a non-default template as a basis for Disposable VM. One example is to use a less-trusted template with some less trusted, 3rd party, often unsigned, applications installed, such as e.g. 3rd part printer drivers.
|
You can change the template used to generate the Disposable VM, and change settings used in the Disposable VM savefile. These changes will be reflected in every new Disposable VM.
|
||||||
|
Full instructions are [here](/en/doc/disp-vm-customization/)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In order to regenerate Disposable VM "snapshot" (called 'savefile' on Qubes) one can conveniently use the following command in Dom0:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
{% highlight trac-wiki %}
|
|
||||||
[joanna@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create-default-dvm <custom-template-name>
|
|
||||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This would create a new Disposable VM savefile based on the custom template. Now, whenever one opens a file (from any AppVM) in a Disposable VM, a Disposable VM based on this template will be used.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
One can easily verify if the new Disposable VM template is indeed based on a custom template (in the example below the template called "f17-yellow" was used as a basis for the Disposable VM):

As long as template's compromise is considered, it doesn't really matter whether /usr/bin/firefox is buggy and can be exploited, or not. What matters is whether its *installation* scripts (such as %post in the rpm.spec) are benign or not. Template VM should be used only for installation of packages, and nothing more, so it should never get a chance to actually run the /usr/bin/firefox and got infected from it, in case it was compromised. Also, some of your more trusted AppVMs, would have networking restrictions enforced by the [firewall VM](/doc/QubesFirewall/), and again they should not fear this proverbial /usr/bin/firefox being potentially buggy and easy to compromise.

Updates proxy is a service which filter http access to allow access to only something that looks like yum repository (or apt repository in the future - \#887). This is meant to mitigate user errors (like using browser in the template VM), rather than some real isolation. It is done with http proxy instead of simple firewall rules because it is hard to list all the repository mirrors (and keep that list up to date). The proxy is used only to filter the traffic, not to cache anything.

How to Mount USB Sticks to AppVMs
|
||||||
|
=================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(**Note:** In the present context, the term "USB stick" denotes any [USB mass storage device](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class). In addition to smaller flash memory sticks, this includes things like USB external hard drives.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Qubes supports the ability to attach a USB stick (or just one or more of its partitions) to any AppVM easily, no matter which VM actually handles the USB controller. (The USB controller may be assigned on the **Devices** tab of an AppVM's settings page in Qubes VM Manager or by using the [qvm-pci command](/en/doc/assigning-devices/).)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As of Qubes R2 Beta 3, USB stick mounting has been integrated into the Qubes VM Manager GUI. Simply insert your USB stick, right-click the desired AppVM in the Qubes VM Manager list, click **Attach/detach block devices**, and select your desired action and device. This, however, only works for the whole device.
|
||||||
|
If you would like to attach individual partitions you must use the command-line tool (shown below). The reason for this is that when attaching a single partition, it used to be that Nautilus file manager would not see it and automatically mount it (see [this ticket](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/623)). This problem, however, seems to be resolved (see [this issue comment](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1072#issuecomment-124270051)).
|
||||||
|
If for some reason the device does not appear in nautilus and you still need to attach just a single partition to a device, you will need to mount it manually; the device will show up as /dev/xvdi (or /dev/xvdj if there is already one device attached - if two, /dev/xvdk and so on).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The command-line tool you may use to mount whole USB sticks or their partitions is `qvm-block`. This tool can be used to assign a USB stick to an AppVM as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Insert your USB stick.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. In a dom0 console (running as normal user), list all available block devices:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
qvm-block -l
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will list all available block devices connected to any USB controller
|
||||||
|
in your system, no matter which VM hosts the controller. The name of the
|
||||||
|
VM hosting the USB controller is displayed before the colon in the device
|
||||||
|
name. The string after the colon is the name of the device used within the
|
||||||
|
VM. Like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
dom0:sdb1 Cruzer () 4GiB
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
usbVM:sdb1 Disk () 2GiB
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note:** If your device is not listed here, you may refresh the list by calling (from the VM to which device is connected):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
sudo udevadm trigger --action=change
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Assuming our USB stick is attached to dom0 and is sdb, we attach the device to an AppVM like so:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`qvm-block -a personal dom0:sdb`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This will attach the device to the AppVM as "/dev/xvdi", if not already taken by another attached device, or "/dev/xvdj" etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may also mount one partition at a time by using the same command with the partition number after sdb.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Warning: when working with single partitions, it is possible to assign the same partition to multiple VMs.** For example, you could attach sdb1 to VM1 and then sdb to VM2. It is up to the user not to make this mistake. Xen block device framework currently does not provide an easy way around this. Point 2 of [this ticket comment](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1072#issuecomment-124119309) gives details on this.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. The USB stick is now attached to the AppVM. If using a default AppVM, you may open Nautilus file manager in the AppVM, and your stick should be visible in the **Devices** panel on the left.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. When you finish using your USB stick, click the eject button or right-click and select **Unmount**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. In a dom0 console, detach the stick:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
qvm-block -d <device> <vmname>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. You may now remove the device.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Warning: Do not remove the device before detatching it from the VM!** Otherwise you
|
||||||
|
will not be able to attach it anywhere later. See [this
|
||||||
|
ticket](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1082) for details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
What if I removed the device before detaching it from the VM?
|
||||||
|
------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently (until [this
|
||||||
|
ticket](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1082) got implemented),
|
||||||
|
if you remove the device before detaching it from the VM, Qubes (more precisely
|
||||||
|
- libvirtd) will think that the device is still attached to the VM and will not
|
||||||
|
allow attaching further devices under the same name. The easiest way to recover
|
||||||
|
from such situation is to reboot the VM to which device was attached. But if
|
||||||
|
this isn't an option, you can manually recover from the situation by following
|
||||||
|
this steps:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Physically connect the device back. You can use any device as long as it
|
||||||
|
will be detected under the same name (for example `sdb`).
|
||||||
|
2. Attach the device manually to the same VM using `xl block-attach` command.
|
||||||
|
It is important to use the same "frontend" device name (by default `xvdi`) -
|
||||||
|
you can get it from `qvm-block` listing:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-block
|
||||||
|
sys-usb:sda DataTraveler_2.0 () 246 MiB (attached to 'testvm' as 'xvdi')
|
||||||
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ xl block-attach testvm phy:/dev/sda backend=sys-usb xvdi
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In above example all `xl block-attach` parameters can be deduced from
|
||||||
|
`qvm-block` output. In order:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `testvm` - name of target VM to which device was attached - listed in brackets by `qvm-block` command
|
||||||
|
* `phy:/dev/sda` - physical path at which device appears in source VM (just after source VM name in `qvm-block` output)
|
||||||
|
* `backend=sys-usb` - name of source VM, can be omitted in case of dom0
|
||||||
|
* `xvdi` - "frontend" device name (listed at the end of line in `qvm-block` output
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Now properly detach the device, either using Qubes Manager, or `qvm-block -d` command.

Some printers require 3rd party drivers, typically downloadable from the vendor's website. Such drivers are typically distributed in a form of ready to install RPM packages. However, they are often unsigned, and additionally the downloads are available via HTTP connections only. As a result, installation of such 3rd party RPMs in a default template VM exposes a risk of compromise of this template VM, which, in turn, leads automatically to compromise of all the AppVMs based on the template. (Again, it's not buggy or malicious drivers that we fear here, but rather malicious installation scripts for those drivers).

In order to mitigate this risk, one might consider creating a custom template (i.e. clone the original template) and then install the 3rd party, unverified drivers there. Such template might then be made the default template for [Disposable VM creation](/doc/DisposableVms/), which should allow one to print any document by right-clicking on it, choosing "Open in Disposable VM" and print from there. This would allow to print documents from more trusted AppVMs (based on a trusted default template, that is not poisoned by 3rd party printer drivers).

However, one should be aware that most (all?) network printing protocols are insecure, unencrypted protocols. This means, that an attacker who is able to sniff the lock network, or who is controlling the (normally untrusted) Qubes NetVM, will likely be able to see the documents being printed. This is a limitation of today's printers and printing protocols, something that cannot be solved by Qubes or any other OS.

Be sure to allow network access from the template VM to your printer, as normally the template VM is not allowed any network access, except to the special Qubes proxy for updates installation.

4. Open an AppVM (make sure it's based on the template where you just installed the printer, normally all AppVMs are based on the default template), and test if printing works. If it doesn't then probably the AppVM doesn't have networking access to the printer -- in that case adjust the firewall settings for that AppVM in Qubes Manager. Also, make sure that the AppVM gets restarted after the template was shutdown.

5. Alternatively if you do not want to modify the firewall rules of the template VM (that have security scope) you can simply shut down the template VM without trying to print the test page (which will not work), start or restart an AppVM based on the template and test printing there.

Resizing `root.img` Size
|
||||||
|
--------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The safest way to increase the size of `root.img` is to do it for a standalone
|
||||||
|
VM (qvm-create --standalone) - which has its own root filesystem
|
||||||
|
(copy of template, instead of smart sharing).
|
||||||
|
But it should also work for a normal template (as long as changes in the
|
||||||
|
template between reboots didn't exceed 10G).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Replace the size and the path (name) of the template as wished and run your
|
||||||
|
modified command:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
truncate -s 20G /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/fedora-21/root.img
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then start your template or standalone VM and run:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/dmroot
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
after that shutdown the template.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then you should have extended `root.img` in your VM/template

Changing the template used as a basis for Disposable VM
|
||||||
|
========================================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may want to use a non-default template as a basis for Disposable VM. One example is to use a less-trusted template with some less trusted, 3rd party, often unsigned, applications installed, such as e.g. 3rd part printer drivers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In order to regenerate the Disposable VM "snapshot" (called 'savefile' on Qubes) one can use the following command in Dom0:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[joanna@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create-default-dvm <custom-template-name>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This would create a new Disposable VM savefile based on the custom template. Now, whenever one opens a file (from any AppVM) in a Disposable VM, a Disposable VM based on this template will be used.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One can easily verify if the new Disposable VM template is indeed based on a custom template (in the example below the template called "f17-yellow" was used as a basis for the Disposable VM):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[joanna@dom0 ~]$ ll /var/lib/qubes/dvmdata/
|
||||||
|
total 0
|
||||||
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 joanna joanna 45 Mar 11 13:59 default_dvm.conf -> /var/lib/qubes/appvms/f17-yellow-dvm/dvm.conf
|
||||||
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 joanna joanna 49 Mar 11 13:59 default_savefile -> /var/lib/qubes/appvms/f17-yellow-dvm/dvm-savefile
|
||||||
|
lrwxrwxrwx 1 joanna joanna 47 Mar 11 13:59 savefile_root -> /var/lib/qubes/vm-templates/f17-yellow/root.img
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Customization of Disposable VM
|
||||||
|
==============================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is possible to change the settings of each new Disposable VM (DispVM). This can be done by customizing the DispVM template:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Start a terminal in the `fedora-20-x64-dvm` TemplateVM by running the following command in a dom0 terminal. (By default, this TemplateVM is not shown in Qubes VM Manager. However, it can be shown by selecting "Show/Hide internal VMs.")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-20-x64-dvm gnome-terminal
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Change the VM's settings and/or applications, as desired. Note that currently Qubes supports exactly one DispVM template, so any changes you make here will affect all DispVMs. Some examples of changes you may want to make include:
|
||||||
|
- Changing Firefox's default startup settings and homepage.
|
||||||
|
- Changing Nautilus' default file preview settings.
|
||||||
|
- Changing the DispVM's default NetVM. For example, you may wish to set the NetVM to "none." Then, whenever you start a new DispVM, you can choose your desired ProxyVM manually (by changing the newly-started DipsVMs settings). This is useful if you sometimes wish to use a DispVM with a TorVM, for example. It is also useful if you sometimes wish to open untrusted files in a network-disconnected DispVM.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Create an empty `/home/user/.qubes-dispvm-customized` file:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[user@fedora-20-x64-dvm ~]$ touch /home/user/.qubes-dispvm-customized
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Shutdown the VM (either by `poweroff` from VM terminal, or `qvm-shutdown` from dom0 terminal).
|
||||||
|
5. Regenerate the DispVM template:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-create-default-dvm --default-template --default-script
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Note:** All of the above requires at least qubes-core-vm \>= 2.1.2 installed in template.

FEDORA Packages Recommendations
|
||||||
|
======================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(starting from a minimal template)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Template installation
|
||||||
|
------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> [dom0]#qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-21-minimal
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Note*: the template may not start in qubes R3 when using kernel 3.19 (unstable). In this case, switch the AppVM or TemplateVM to the kernel 3.18.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Note*: If you have doubts about a set of tool or package you want to install, start installing and testing it in an AppVM. You can then reproduce it later in your TemplateVM if you are satisfied. That the (QubesOS?) template philosophy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Standard tools installation
|
||||||
|
================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Administration (documented)
|
||||||
|
---------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
sudo pciutils vim-minimal less tcpdump telnet psmisc nmap nmap-ncat usbutils
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Notes*: nmap can be used to discover a network (nmap -sP [network]), especially if you are inside a Microsoft network, because your AppVM will be protected/NATted behind Qubes firewall (microsoft / home network are heavily using autodiscovery technologies which require to beint in the same local network (no firewall/no NAT), eg: your printer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some recommendation here: check your current network using the Network manager applet (eg: 192.168.1.65). Then run nmap in your current AppVM/TemplateVM to search for the selected printer/equipement: nmap -sP 192.168.1.-. Don't forget to allow temporarily the Qubes Firewall if you are inside a TemplateVM.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Administration (undocumented)
|
||||||
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
openssh keepassx openssl gnome-keyring man
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dependency note: keepassx rely on qt which takes ~30MB
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Network VM (documented)
|
||||||
|
----------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
NetworkManager NetworkManager-wifi network-manager-applet wireless-tools dbus-x11 tar tinyproxy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Network VM (undocumented)
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
which dconf dconf-editor
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Notes*: which is required for autostart scripts
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Notes*: dconf is required to remember the VM settings that are changed (the gsetting backend will be in memory only if gconf is not installed).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Network VM (manual operations - documented)
|
||||||
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Search for a wireless firmware matching your wireless card (to be launched in network VM)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> lspci; yum search firmware
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ProxyVM/NetworkVM for 3G Modems
|
||||||
|
=====================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ModemManager NetworkManager-wwan usb_modeswitch modem-manager-gui
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dependency note: modem-manager-gui rely on webkit-gtk and is optional (NetworkManager can handle the modem alone)

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ProxyVM for VPNs
|
||||||
|
==========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Search for a VPN package for your particular vpn solution
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> yum search NetworkManager [openconnect|openswat|...]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OR
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For manual handling of VPN (and because NetworkManager is not available in proxyVMs, check the Qubes-users mail threads on google group
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(cprise started a good one on openvpn: [OPENVPNSETUP] "[qubes-users] OpenVPN Setup, Revisited Again!")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Printer Setup
|
||||||
|
========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
system-config-printer system-config-printer-applet cups
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dependency Note: depends on python3 + python3 additionnal libraries which takes more than 40 M once installed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dependency Note: cups depends on ghostscript and require installing additionnal printing fonts (not documented here), so it can takes several dozen of MB
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Manual operations
|
||||||
|
---------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Don't forget to restart your TemplateVM or only the cups service when you installed cups (systemctl start cups)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- First you need to search for your printer. If you don't know its name or IP, search for it using nmap: check your current network using the Network manager applet (eg: 192.168.1.65). Then run nmap in your current AppVM/TemplateVM to search for the selected printer/equipement: nmap -sP 192.168.1.-. Don't forget to allow temporarily the Qubes Firewall if you are inside a TemplateVM.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Once you identifed your printer, run system-config-printer GUI to install your printer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- You man need to cancel the operation to install more adapted printer drivers (eg: if the driver cannot be found automatically). Use yum search printername to find potential drivers (eg yum search photosmart)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
GUI recommendations
|
||||||
|
=============
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lightweight packages recommendations
|
||||||
|
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
lxterminal dejavu-sans-mono-fonts dejavu-sans-fonts gnome-settings-daemon
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Note*: You need to install sans-mono fonts for the terminal or it will be unreadable (overlapping characters....), while the sans fonts are just to get nicer GUI menus.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Scite* is a nice notepad that can also highlight scripts with very light dependencies
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
scite
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Meld* allow comparing two text files/ two configuration files easily.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
meld
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Thunar* is a light file manager usually used by xfce
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
thunar thunar-volman ntfs-3g
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dependency Note: xfce4 dependencies (but still quite light ~1.4M downloads)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
GUI themes
|
||||||
|
-----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Managing GUI theme / appearance is often complex because when you do not want to depends on a specific desktop system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For this reason, we need to customize themes for each GUI framework that our application depends on.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This often includes GTK2, GTK3 (which us a different configuration/themes than GTK2), QT.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The apparance of Windows can only be changed in dom0, however, the appearance of all buttons, menus, icons, widgets are specific to each AppVM.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Packages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Choose theme packages for each framework. I recommend the following documentation [THEMEPACKAGES]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
clearlooks-phenix-gtk2-theme clearlooks-phenix-gtk3-theme
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can search for other themes using yum search theme gtk
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can check your currently installed theme packages (to eventually remove them) using rpm -qa | grep theme
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Tweaking theme and appearance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First you can get an insight of installed Gtk theme and see how it will appears using lxappearance.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I recommend not applying settings using lxappearance (do not click on apply) because it will create multiple configuration files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To remove these files, follow cleanup notes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Cleanup notes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
rm ~/.gtkrc-2.0
|
||||||
|
rm ~/.icons/default/index.theme
|
||||||
|
rm ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
|
||||||
|
rm ~/.config/Trolltech.conf
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Cleaning the whole dconf settings is also possible by removing the following file. Please note that it will remove all preferences set for gnome application (not only the themes)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
rm ~/.config/dconf/user
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Note*: lxappearance only have effect on gtk3 theme so it won't work to change gtk2 themes (used by Firefox, Thunderbird ...).
|
||||||
|
However, it is very lightweight and can be used to identify the name and look of themes you are interested in.
|
||||||
|
Once you have the name, you can apply it using gsetting command line or gconf-editor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Note*: if you really want a GUI theme editor, you can install gnome-tweak-tools, but this tool have a lot
|
||||||
|
of gnome dependencies (~150MB of dependencies). Eventually install it and uninstall it as soon as you changed your theme.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Testing notes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following programs can be used to see if theme has been correctly applied:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* GTK2 program: scite, thunderbird, firefox
|
||||||
|
* GTK3 program: lxterminal
|
||||||
|
* QT program: keepassx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Note*: testing in a TemplateVM will not work as expected because gnome-settings-daemon is not started in TemplateVM.
|
||||||
|
so test your themes in an AppVM and then update the TemplateVM accordingly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Forcing theme change for all AppVM depending on a TemplateVM
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This can be done for gtk themes by creating dconf global settings. I recommend reading these articles:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[DCONF1]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[DCONF2]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Creating global file
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Setup global config file:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> mkdir /etc/dconf/db/qubes.d
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Edit/Create the following file: /etc/dconf/db/qubes.d/10-global-theme-settings:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
[org/gnome/desktop/interface]
|
||||||
|
cursor-theme="Adwaita"
|
||||||
|
gtk-theme="Clearlooks-Phenix"
|
||||||
|
icon-theme="Adwaita"
|
||||||
|
font-name="Cantarell 11"
|
||||||
|
monospace-font-name="Monospace 11"
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Generate global config database
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> dconf update
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Configure default user profile
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Edit/Create the following file: /etc/dconf/profile/user:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
user-db:user
|
||||||
|
system-db:qubes
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Locking configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It should be noted that the user dconf settings stored in ~/.config/dconf/user always takes precedence over the global dconf settings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
User dconf settings can be browsed using dconf-editor GUI.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to force specific settings to be applied for all user (so in our case for all AppVMs depending on the template), you need to create locks:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> mkdir /etc/dconf/db/qubes.d/locks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Edit/Create the following file: /etc/dconf/db/qubes.d/locks/theme.lock:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
/org/gnome/desktop/interface/gtk-theme
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, regenerate the dconf database
|
||||||
|
> dconf update
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Uniform look for QT & GTK
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Getting an uniform look for QT & GTK is not acheaved yet. A good source is on the following link [UNIFORMTHEME]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Two case:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. You installed packages of the theme you selected both for Qt, GTK2 and GTK3.
|
||||||
|
(eg: Adwaita which is the default theme. I did not found another cross framework theme on fedora default packages).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. You want to use the GTK theme you selected for Qt but there is no qt package.
|
||||||
|
In this case QGtkStyle will take precedence and convert the style automaticall.
|
||||||
|
You can verify if it is enabled by searching for "style=GTK+" in /etc/xdg/Trolltech.conf.
|
||||||
|
If style is changed to another name, it will be used instead of your GTK theme.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Note*: check that ~/.config/Trolltech.conf in your AppVMs is not defining another "style=" because it will take precedence over your global QT theme.

Disable/Uninstall unecessary features/services
|
||||||
|
=============================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Windows features
|
||||||
|
----------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Uninstall windows features from Control Panel > Turn windows features On/Off.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Generally, it will be required to reboot after features desinstallation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you do not manage to uninstall some features, it is sometimes necessarry to uninstall them one by one or two by two.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Only keep:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Print and Document Service => Internet Printing Client
|
||||||
|
* Print and Document Service => Windows Fax and Scan (apparently it cannot be uninstalled)
|
||||||
|
* Windows search
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Note*: Windows search is recommended because it is a nightmare to find something in menus if it is not enabled (it removes the search bar from the start menu, from the explorer, and from the control panel).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Note*: Unselecting windows media, .Net and Internet Explorer will uninstall these components. on a new install it is generally old versions anyway and it will be quicker to install directly the new versions later.

Disable the following services that are not required or have no sense in a VM context:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Base Filtering Engine (only required if your want to use Microsoft IPSEC)
|
||||||
|
* DHCP Client
|
||||||
|
* Function Discovery Provider Host
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
this will not work anyway because SSDP discovery uses multicast - need to be on the same network which is not the case because of qubes firewall
|
||||||
|
* Peer Name Resolution Protocol
|
||||||
|
* Peer Netwoking Grouping
|
||||||
|
* Peer Networking Identity Manager
|
||||||
|
* SSDP Discovery
|
||||||
|
* Security Center (is it only notifications ?)
|
||||||
|
* TCP/IP Netbios Help (is Netbios still really used by Windows ? Maybe for discovery only ?)
|
||||||
|
* Themes (if you don't care about theme)
|
||||||
|
* Volume Shadow Copy (see next note in the performance section)
|
||||||
|
* Windows defender
|
||||||
|
* Windows Firewall
|
||||||
|
* Power
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*Notes*: IP Helper is required as it is used by Qubes Agent to configure the IP address.
|
||||||

||||||
|
Windows update
|
||||||
|
--------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I recommend disabling windows update (Never Check for Update) because checking for updates will start every time you start an AppVM if you don't started your template after some days.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Running windows update is also apparently IO hungry.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Of course I recommend starting the template regularly and checking manually for updates.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
System properties
|
||||||
|
---------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Right click on computer and go to Properties > Advanced > Performances:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* If your don't care about visual effect, in Visual Effect select "Adjust for best performance"
|
||||||
|
* I personnally tweak the page file size to win some place on my root.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In Advanced>Performances>Advanced tab, change Virtual memory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. unselect automatically manage paging file size for all drive
|
||||||
|
2. click on drive C:
|
||||||
|
3. select no paging file
|
||||||
|
4. click on set
|
||||||
|
5. click on drive d:
|
||||||
|
6. select customer size
|
||||||
|
7. use an initial size of 500 and a max size of 1000. If the page file is too small, you will notify a low memory pop up when working on windows. In this case, it often means that you should extend your AppVM RAM.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* System Protection
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here you can disable Shadow Folder because it has little sense in case of qubes because
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* we do backup regularly of AppVMs/TemplateVMs;
|
||||||
|
* we can revert at least one template change if we break something.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Select drives where system protection is enabled and click Configure. "Turn of system protection" "Delete all restore points"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Remote
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Unselect Allow Remote Assistance connetions to this computer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Task scheduler
|
||||||
|
-----------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Open the task scheduler and *disable* the following tasks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you remove these tasks they may be recreated automatically by various windows management tools (such as defragmentation)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Autochk: All
|
||||||
|
* Application Experience: All
|
||||||
|
* Customer Experience Improvement Program: All
|
||||||
|
* Defrag: All
|
||||||
|
* DiskDiagnosis: All (the disk is virtual anyway so S.M.A.R.T. has no sense)
|
||||||
|
* Maintenance: All
|
||||||
|
* SystemRestore: All
|
||||||
|
* WindowsBackup: All
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Disable hibernation
|
||||||
|
------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
and clean hyberfil.sys
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Ensure that you disabled the Power service (you may need to reboot so that the Power service is effectively stopped).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Run a cmd.exe as an administrator:
|
||||||
|
> powercfg -h off
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
C:\hyberfil.sys should now be deleted
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Manual tasks that can/should be started in the template
|
||||||
|
===================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Disk defragmentation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Windows Update
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Windows file cleaning
|
||||||
|
1. Run windows drive cleaner as Administrator.
|
||||||
|
2. Enable all the task and run the cleaner
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* CCleaner file cleaning
|
||||||
|
1. Install CCleaner free
|
||||||
|
2. Copy the attached ccleaner configuration file in CCleaner program file folder
|
||||||
|
3. Run ccleaner with all option set except "wipe free space" (it will also remove user history and preferences)
|
||||||
|
4. Run ccleaner only with the option "wipe free space".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It will write zeros in all unused space. This will allow you to strip the root.img file later
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* TemplateVM stripping
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ensure that you know what you are doing in this section as you may destroy by error your template root.img file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* If you ran ccleaner with "wipe free space", follow the following procedure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. from dom0, go to /var/lib/templates-vm/yourtemplate
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. copy root.img using the following command
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> cp --sparse=always root.img root.img.clean
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. if the copy worked, you can move the new root file by running this command
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> mv root.img.clean root.img
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* If don't managed to fill the free space with zeroes, you can follow the following *unsafe* undocumented procedure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. from dom0, go to /var/lib/templates-vm/yourtemplate
|
||||||
|
2. check the partitionning to identify the filesystem offset of root.img
|
||||||
|
3. mount the filesystem
|
||||||
|
4. create a file with zeros inside the filesystem until the mounted filesystem is full
|
||||||
|
5. remove the file
|
||||||
|
6. unmount the partition
|
||||||
|
7. make a copy of root.img in sparse mode.

XFCE installtion in dom0
|
||||||
|
========================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Disclaimer: XFCE isn't fully integrated with Qubes environment, it still require notable amount of manual configuration after install**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Requirements (as of 10/24/2012):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- qubes-core-dom0-2.0.37 (not released yet, possible to build from "master" branch of marmarek's repo)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Installation:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-unstable @XFCE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then you need to create /etc/sysconfig/desktop to stay with KDM, as GDM still starts invalid Xorg startup script:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
DISPLAYMANAGER=KDE
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Reboot the system. At system startup, select "Xfce session" in login screen (menu on the right bottom corner of the screen).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Configuration
|
||||||
|
-------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Things needs/recommended to be done:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- remove some useless entries from menu and panel, especially file manager, web browser
|
||||||
|
- create own favorites menu (currently standard XFCE menu isn't modified to use per-VM subsections, which makes it very inconvenient):
|
||||||
|
1. create `~/.config/menus/favorites.menu`, example content:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
|
||||||
|
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd">
|
||||||

|
||||||

|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. add it to the panel: right click on panel, "add new items", select "XFCE menu", choose custom menu file - just created one

You may want to get familiar with [Revisor documentation](http://revisor.fedoraunity.org/documentation).

Build installer packages
|
||||||
|
------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Get [Qubes Installer repository](http://git.qubes-os.org/?p=smoku/installer) and build its packages:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
cd installer
|
||||||
|
make rpms
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Packages will be in `rpm/noarch` and `rpm/x86_64`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Install Revisor
|
||||||
|
---------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Next install the freshly built revisor and anaconda:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
yum install rpm/noarch/revisor*.rpm
|
||||||
|
yum install rpm/x86_64/anaconda*.rpm
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Review configuration files
|
||||||
|
--------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All configuration files for Qubes Revisor are kept in the ~~~conf/~~~ directory:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `conf/qubes-install.conf` - Main Revisor configuration file. This configures Revisor to build Qubes Installation image based on Fedora 13. All other configuration files and working directories are pointed here.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `conf/qubes-x86_64.conf` - This file describes all repositories needed to build Qubes for x86\_64 architecture.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `conf/qubes-kickstart.cfg` - Fedora Kickstart formatted file describing which packages should land in the ISO `/Packages` repository. This describes basically what will be available for installation. The packages list built using this file will be further filtered by the comps file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `conf/comps-qubes.xml` - Repository Comps file for ISO `/Packages` repository, describing packages and package groups of the installer repository. Package groups are used to select which of the packages are mandatory to install, which are optional and which are to be just available on the ISO but not installed by default (not used on Qubes).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Create/Update local repository
|
||||||
|
------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Revisor fetches all RPM packages from YUM repositories. We currently use 5 repositories:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `yum/installer` (installer-related rpms)
|
||||||
|
- `yum/qubes-dom0` (all the Qubes stuff)
|
||||||
|
- `yum/dom0-updates` (for select 3rd party packages, e.g. Xorg)
|
||||||
|
- `yum/fedora13-repo` (local fedora 13 repo, copy from DVD)
|
||||||
|
- remote fedora repo for extra packages (usually deps for qubes-dom0)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You need to manually copy the Fedora 13 installation DVD contents (`Packages/` and `repodata/` directories) into `build/fedora13-repo`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also, you need to copy all the qubes dom0 rpms into `build/yum/qubes-dom0/rpm` and run the `yum/update_repo.sh` script afterwards.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In order to fill the `build/yum/installer` repo one can just use `make update-repo`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The `build/yum/dom0-updates` is to be used for select rpms that should also be used instead of those from the fedora (loacal and remote) repos.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Update your local repos:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
make update-repo
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Build ISO
|
||||||
|
---------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now you're finally ready to build the ISO image:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
make iso
|
||||||
|
~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
and wait...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may add `-d 1` (or `-d 99` if you're a masochist) in the Makefile at the end of the revisor command to get (a ton of) debugging information.

The Qubes kde-dom0 project (see [Source Code](/doc/SourceCode/)) contains the source code needed for building the customized KDE packages for use in Qubes Dom0 (the user desktop). The packages are based on Fedora 12 KDE packages, but are heavily slimmed down (Qubes doesn't need lots of KDE functionality in Dom0, such as most of the KDE apps). In the near future those KDE packages will also get some Qubes specific extensions, such as coloured titlebars/frames nicely integrated into the KDE Window Manager. And, of course, custom themes, e.g. for KDM :)

Often, developers, usually smart developers, neglect the value of proper coding style, thinking that it's most important how their code works, and expecting that if it solves some problem using a nice and neat trick, then it's all that is really required. Such thinking shows, however, immaturity and is a signal that the developer, however bright and smart, might not be a good fit for any larger project. Writing a clever exploit, that is to be used at one Black Hat show is one thing, while writing a useful software that is to be used and maintained for years, is quite a different story. If you want to show off how smart programmer you are, then you should become a researcher and write exploits. If, on the other hand, you want to be part of a team that makes real, useful software, you should ensure your coding style is impeccable. We often, at Qubes project, often took shortcuts, and often wrote nasty code, and this always back fired at us, sometime months, sometime years later, the net result being we had to spend time fixing code, rather than implementing new functionality.

Before you engage in some longer activity, e.g. implementing a new feature, it's always good to contact us first (preferably via the [qubes-devel](/doc/QubesLists/) list), to avoid a situation when two or more independent people would work on the same feature at the same time, doubling each others work. When you contact us and devote to a particular task, we will create a ticket for this task with info who is working on this feature and what is the expected date of some early code to be posted.

You can also contribute in other areas than coding and testing, e.g. by providing mirrors for Qubes rpm repositories, providing feedback about what features you would like to have in Qubes, or perhaps even preparing some cool You Tube videos that would demonstrate some Qubes' features. You are always encouraged to discuss your ideas on qubes-devel.

## Adding a new test to core-admin
|
||||||
|
After you added a new unit test to [core-admin/tests](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-admin/tree/master/tests)
|
||||||
|
you have to make sure of two things:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. The test will be added to the RPM file created by [QubesBuilder](/en/doc/qubes-builder/)
|
||||||
|
For this you need to edit [core-admin/tests/Makefile](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-admin/tree/master/tests/Makefile)
|
||||||
|
2. The test will be loaded by [core-admin/tests/\_\_init\_\_.py](https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-core-admin/tree/master/tests/__init__.py)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Editing the Makefile
|
||||||
|
Add at the bottom of the file the two lines which will copy your test and its
|
||||||
|
compiled version to the right directory in the RPM file. I.e. adding `example.py`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cp example.py $(DESTDIR)$(PYTHON_TESTSPATH)
|
||||||
|
cp example.py[co] $(DESTDIR)$(PYTHON_TESTSPATH)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Editing \_\_init\_\_.py
|
||||||
|
Add at the bottom of the file in the method `def load_tests` to the variable
|
||||||
|
`modname` your test. I.e adding `example.py`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

VM Configuration Interface
|
||||||
|
==========================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Qubes VM have some settings set by dom0 based on VM settings. There are multiple configuration channels, which includes:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- XenStore
|
||||||
|
- QubesDB - replacing most of xenstore (in R3 only)
|
||||||
|
- Qubes RPC (called at VM startup, or when configuration changed)
|
||||||
|
- GUI protocol
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
xenstore
|
||||||
|
--------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Keys exposed by dom0 to VM (only Qubes specific included):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-vm-type` - VM type, the same as `type` field in `qvm-prefs`. One of `AppVM`, `ProxyVM`, `NetVM`, `TemplateVM`, `HVM`, `TemplateHVM`
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-vm-updatable` - flag whether VM is updatable (whether changes in root.img will survive VM restart). One of `True`, `False`
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-timezone - name of timezone based on dom0 timezone. For example `Europe/Warsaw`
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-keyboard` - keyboard layout based on dom0 layout. Its syntax is suitable for `xkbcomp` command (after expanding escape sequences like `\n` or `\t`). This is meant only as some default value, VM can ignore this option and choose its own keyboard layout (this is what keyboard setting from Qubes Manager does). This entry is created as part of gui-daemon initialization (so not available when gui-daemon disabled, or not started yet).
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-debug-mode` - flag whether VM have debug mode enabled (qvm-prefs setting). One of `1`, `0`
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-service/SERVICE_NAME` - subtree for VM services controlled from dom0 (using qvm-service command or Qubes Manager). One of `1`, `0`. Note that not every service will be listed here, if entry is missing, it means "use VM default". List of currently supported services is in [qvm-service man page](/wiki/Dom0Tools/QvmService)
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-netmask` - network mask (only when VM has netvm set); currently hardcoded "255.255.255.0"
|
||||||
|
- \`qubes-ip - IP address for this VM (only when VM has netvm set)
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-gateway` - default gateway IP and primary DNS address (only when VM has netvm set); VM should add host route to this address directly via eth0 (or whatever default interface name is)
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-secondary-dns` - secondary DNS address (only when VM has netvm set)
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-netvm-gateway` - same as `qubes-gateway` in connected VMs (only when VM serves as network backend - ProxyVM and NetVM); because this is also set as primary DNS in connected VMs, traffic sent to this IP on port 53 should be redirected to DNS server
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-netvm-netmask` - same as `qubes-netmask` in connected VMs (only when VM serves as network backend - ProxyVM and NetVM)
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-netvm-network` - network address (only when VM serves as network backend - ProxyVM and NetVM); can be also calculated from qubes-netvm-gateway and qubes-netvm-netmask
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-netvm-secondary-dns` - same as `qubes-secondary-dns` in connected VMs (only when VM serves as network backend - ProxyVM and NetVM); traffic sent to this IP on port 53 should be redirected to secondary DNS server
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Keys set by VM for passing info to dom0:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `memory/meminfo` - used memory (updated by qubes-meminfo-writer), input information for qmemman; Format: 6 lines (EOL encoded as `\n`), each in format "FIELD: VALUE kB"; fields: `MemTotal`, `MemFree`, `Buffers`, `Cached`, `SwapTotal`, `SwapFree`; meaning the same as in `/proc/meminfo` in Linux
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-block-devices` - list of block devices exposed by this VM, each device (subdirectory) should be named in a way that VM can attach the device based on it. Each should contain those entries:
|
||||||
|
- `desc` - device description (ASCII text)
|
||||||
|
- `size` - device size in bytes
|
||||||
|
- `mode` - default connection mode; `r` for read-only, `w` for read-write
|
||||||
|
- `qubes-usb-devices` - list of USB devices exposed by this VM, each device (subdirectory) should contain:
|
||||||
|
- `desc` - device description (ASCII text)
|
||||||
|
- `usb-ver` - USB version (1, 2 or 3)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Qubes RPC
|
||||||
|
---------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Services called by dom0 to provide some VM configuration:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.SetMonitorLayout` - provide list of monitors, one in a line, each line contains four numbers: `width height X Y`
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.WaitForSession` - called to wait for full VM startup
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.GetAppmenus` - receive appmenus from given VM (template); TODO: describe format here
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.GetImageRGBA` - receive image/application icon. Protocol:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Caller sends name of requested icon. This can be one of:
|
||||||
|
* `xdgicon:NAME` - search for NAME in standard icons theme
|
||||||
|
* `-` - get icon data from stdin (the caller), can be prefixed with format name, for example `png:-`
|
||||||
|
* file name
|
||||||
|
2. The service responds with image dimensions: width and height as
|
||||||
|
decimal numbers, separated with space and with EOL marker at the and; then
|
||||||
|
image data in RGBA format (32 bits per pixel)
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.SetDateTime` - set VM time, called periodically by dom0 (can be
|
||||||
|
triggered manually from dom0 by calling `qvm-sync-clock`). The service
|
||||||
|
receives one line at stdin - time in format of `date -u -Iseconds`, for
|
||||||
|
example `2015-07-31T16:10:43+0000`.
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.SetGuiMode` - called in HVM to switch between fullscreen and seamless
|
||||||
|
GUI mode. The service receives a single word on stdin - either `FULLSCREEN`
|
||||||
|
or `SEAMLESS`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Other Qrexec services installed by default:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.Backup` - store Qubes backup. The service receives location chosen by
|
||||||
|
the user (one line, terminated by '\n'), the backup archive ([description of
|
||||||
|
backup format](/doc/BackupEmergencyRestoreV2/))
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.DetachPciDevice` - service called in reaction to `qvm-pci -d` call on
|
||||||
|
running VM. The service receives one word - BDF of device to detach. When the
|
||||||
|
service call ends, the device will be detached
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.Filecopy` - receive some files from other VM. Files sent in [qfile format](/en/doc/qfilecopy/)
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.OpenInVM` - open a file in called VM. Service receives a single file on stdin (in
|
||||||
|
[qfile format](/en/doc/qfilecopy/). After a file viewer/editor is terminated, if
|
||||||
|
the file was modified, can be sent back (just raw content, without any
|
||||||
|
headers); otherwise service should just terminate without sending anything.
|
||||||
|
This service is used by both `qvm-open-in-vm` and `qvm-open-in-dvm` tools. When
|
||||||
|
called in DispVM, service termination will trigger DispVM cleanup.
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.Restore` - retrieve Qubes backup. The service receives backup location
|
||||||
|
entered by the user (one line, terminated by '\n'), then should output backup
|
||||||
|
archive in [qfile format](/en/doc/qfilecopy/) (core-agent-linux component contains
|
||||||
|
`tar2qfile` utility to do the conversion
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.SelectDirectory`, `qubes.SelectFile` - services which should show
|
||||||
|
file/directory selection dialog and return (to stdout) a single line
|
||||||
|
containing selected path, or nothing in case of cancellation
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.SuspendPre` - service called in every VM with PCI device attached just
|
||||||
|
before system suspend
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.SuspendPost` - service called in every VM with PCI device attached just
|
||||||
|
after system resume
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.SyncNtpClock` - service called to trigger network time synchronization.
|
||||||
|
Service should synchronize local VM time and terminate when done.
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.WindowIconUpdater` - service called by VM to send icons of individual
|
||||||
|
windows. The protocol there is simple one direction stream: VM sends window ID
|
||||||
|
followed by icon in `qubes.GetImageRGBA` format, then next window ID etc. VM
|
||||||
|
can send icon for the same window multiple times to replace previous one (for
|
||||||
|
example for animated icons)
|
||||||
|
- `qubes.VMShell` - call any command in the VM; the command(s) is passed one per line
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently Qubes still calls few tools in VM directly, not using service
|
||||||
|
abstraction. This will change in the future. Those tools are:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `/usr/lib/qubes/qubes-download-dom0-updates.sh` - script to download updates (or new packages to be installed) for dom0 (`qubes-dom0-update` tool)
|
||||||
|
- `date -u -Iseconds` - called directly to retrieve time after calling `qubes.SyncNtpClock` service (`qvm-sync-clock` tool)
|
