Table of Contents
Description
Setup a GPU GUI domain named "sys-gui-gpu". The GPU is attached to the qube and all graphics computation are handled by this qube. Requires a dedicated graphics card (external GPU) and PCI passthrough support.
Installation
WARNING: unfinished formula.
- Top:
sudo qubesctl top.enable qvm.sys-gui pillar=True
sudo qubesctl top.enable sys-gui-gpu
sudo qubesctl --targets=tpl-sys-gui,sys-gui-gpu state.apply
sudo qubesctl top.disable sys-gui-gpu
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-gui-gpu.prefs
- State:
sudo qubesctl top.enable qvm.sys-gui pillar=True
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-gui-gpu.create
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=tpl-sys-gui state.apply sys-gui-gpu.install
sudo qubesctl --skip-dom0 --targets=sys-gui-gpu state.apply sys-gui-gpu.configure
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-gui-gpu.prefs
The formula assumes Intel graphics card, if you have a card from another
vendor, please use
qvm-pci
to persistently attach the GPU with the permissive option to sys-gui-gpu.
Shutdown all your running qubes as the global property default_guivm has
changed to sys-gui-gpu.
Uninstallation
Reboot you computer and prevent Qubes OS autostart of any qube, be it
sys-gui-gpu or the qubes connected to it to reach dom0. For that, you need to
boot Qubes OS with
qubes.skip_autostart GRUB parameter.
Only after you have done these steps manually, you can continue the
uninstallation procedure.
Set Global preference default_guivm to dom0 and disable autostart of
sys-gui-gpu:
sudo qubesctl state.apply sys-gui-gpu.cancel
Usage
Qubes that have their guivm preference set to sys-gui-gpu, will use it as
the GUI domain.
The process to enter sys-gui-gpu can be a simple logout, but on most
platforms, a reboot is required and recommended to prevent data loss.
The login credentials are the same used in dom0, the first user in the
qubes group and the corresponding password.
