Hello! I'm trying to exclude a service that is started by XDG-autostart from starting up only on SOME app-VMs based on same template-VM (so deleting the .desktop file from appvm completely is not an option) After reading some comments on github from long ago (like this one here https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/137#issuecomment-77752422 ) I have concluded that I theoretically should be able to use NotShowIn in the desktop file. However, putting a NotShowIn=personal;work into /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop did not help me to prevent pulse startup in VM named personal and vm named work What am I doing wrong?
You can only specify a VM type (AppVM, NetVM, ...), not a VM name.
Is doing what I want even possible?
In theory yes (haven't tested it): you'll have to put a .desktop in $HOME/.config/autostart/ with 'Hidden=true' in each of the *AppVM* you want the .desktop app to be disabled.
P.S. Still Qubes 3.2 because I am windows-VM dependent
FWIW I'm using R4 both with R3.2 imported win VMs as well as ones created in R4 and I don't have any problems (but then I use QWT from R3.2 - didn't manage to have the newer QWT work; see issue #3585).
