Hi everyone,
months ago I received my Librem 14 and, overall, my experience as a client was pretty bad.
The hardware I received was pretty cheap, some letters in the keyboard are “stuck”, one of the screw was ruined and thus impossible to remove (and for this reason I had to literally cut the notebook to apply hardware upgrades), and it does not satisfy what the team said in the past months.
I know this is a startup and they had external issues that they could not control. But I think that they should not send devices like mine, because it should not pass quality control…
Anyway, this thread is regarding another topic: Librem 14 + Qubes OS.
I have several issues:
WiFi is not working. My notebook does not show WiFi networks around me. Just ethernet connection is available. The WiFi part is not existent at all. How can I fix it?
(With PureOS WiFi was working)
Battery percentage is broken. I already applied latest PureBoot firmware and EC upgrade. Anyway the battery problem is still here (on PureOS and on QubesOS).
The battery is always at 49%.
If your wifi was disabled via the kill switch when you installed and configured Qubes, it is possible that your sys-net VM was not assigned the wi-fi PCI device, causing this issue.
If that is the problem, you can fix this by:
reboot your L14 with the kill switch on (wifi enabled)
shut down sys-net
go into the VM settings for sys-net, in the devices tab, and manually add the wifi device (should be 01:00.0 Network controller)
