Hi all, In Qubes 3.2 the obvious way to start a gnome-terminal in its own disposable virtual machine is:
qvm-run '$dispvm' gnome-terminal However, this doesn't work! The gnome-terminal process exits immediately (it spawns gnome-terminal-server in the background to do the real work), and the VM shuts down prematurely. Qubes 4.0 has the same problem, but with different notation above. I suspect this is the reason that an xterm is on the DispVM menu instead of gnome-terminal. Anyway, I think I have a solution, based on systemd: qvm-run '$dispvm' "gnome-terminal; systemctl --user start gnome-terminal-server --wait" I haven't yet tested the analogous command on Qubes 4.0, but I expect this approach should work there too.
