We can see if anyone's interested in providing a patch: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2519 Please understand that since this falls far outside of normal usage patterns and affects only a small minority of users, it's going to be a relatively low-priority issue. Therefore, it's unlikely that this will be changed soon, unless it either turns out to be trivial to change, or we receive a patch from the community. - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJYUVn6AAoJENtN07w5UDAwTVQQALhZlGJXic7b7PqF5Wh7Cugl PEr789MPzb2B0ticm6cNypJ2xvpvfY9+9SpK/FzAOv2KwIpOt1TCqUFAVoO9nlEk BmcOYOoOpYRHF4ll4/rpjn0KcH155sHFKtVnm4ZQg4wBsx40zAGAxizb1yLcrHpA SA61hRTb1Qpplwzykn03CkgZ+hAXyLZzDv548k80ImmuPeX+7Dlm+m6qXfgJEQ9a fQ9dsznOsQC84RdYdEt5e6HuT4R8Hwyube8e26PLz61xhJa2AcHFHuhHaL8lpVNN W38ZrpmQJu8vzeBt/eHm76k/xksYdJKE+KgRqHX1hat7APaD+n1qdBBrXz+oOyZY M6/wlopzrdaG4jGKBjg4NFsq7ZGJV5arAI7k61KubEEjl+r+WiWby3RrLzapBJQK yJRyfM7QfkJlhOVkjdHiGEcEe5HCBmQ4LXEaqOHiRRuZqBKQV+vKESft4byNnmLC P9G+rzXD7IXM8XGf5wkuGXwMcZw61FlOS+q9IrjobLA0BNJg++VB1RMAp7Ja4Fek TkzZEI1YHtXvX4Nk1skmEqAjHtfeDpwaMOYxdSqEu3mMwBXbVDufqQaBzWeJmgFm sqP5hGB3sLB+RRC2PpBYPbnWiFkSebh87Fhuc1myHt7FnxBy1a/x+7OQVawCsSI8 705HBTP0V+vzXyB0Ygtu =btTZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
