@ -148,6 +148,9 @@ In this section, I explain how I installed Qubes 3.2 on a MacBook Pro Retina 201
Good news: the relevant stuff works.
Bad news: still some minor issue to investigate.
For the time being, my setup is just for testing purposes and help to bypass some blocking issues: do not use it in production or on machine where security is a concern!
I hope to improve it as soon as possible.
During my nigths trying to get Qubes OS working, I faced tow main and blocking issues:
* no boot, due to empty xen.cfg file
* system freeze, due to Broadcom BCM43602 wifi card

You can install Qubes using BIOS or UEFI:
* BIOS/CSM/Legacy: I have not been able to install using legagy, but I did not spent a lot of time on it.
* power on the macbook pressing Option button
* GRUB menu appears, with option to test media & install, install, troubleshoot and rescue
* whatever option I choose, I have a quick flash and back to the menu
* UEFI plain: grub menu appears, but any gave me a quick flash and returned the main menu. I can boot it manually fixing the grub.cfg file, adding commands linuexefi and initrdefi, pointing proper files in /efi/boot. After boot, I end up with not root file system.
* UEFI, using rEFInd: I have been successful, despite some issues to be fixed manually, after installation completion
* download [rEFInd] ZIP file, unzip it and run installer
* download [rEFInd] refind-bin-0.10.4.zip: this file is not signed, so decide if you trust it or not. SHA1 sum is 3d69c23b7d338419e5559a93cd6ae3ec66323b1e
* unzip it and run installer, which install rEFIind on the internal SSD
* if installation fails due to SIP, reboot in recovery mode, open a terminal and issue command

### 6. Fix pulseaudio, which locks CPU freezing the system often for 20 seconds
My macbook has frequent freezes. Looking at journalctl output I saw that pulseaudio locks CPU for 20 seconds, very often.
The quickest workaround, is to open a dom0 terminal, as root and edit /etc/pulse/client.conf and adding "autospawn = no"
Then, as normal user, issue command "pulseaudio --kill"
You can fix this issue, killing audio support with this quick workaround:
* open a dom0 terminal, as root and edit /etc/pulse/client.conf
