When I change a running DispVM's NetWM (in the Qubes VM Manager) (e.g. from sys-whonix to sys-firewall) the DispVM loses its internet connection. Changing the NetWM of a normal AppVM based on the same TempVM as the DispVM does not cause any issues. How could this be?
I'm running Qubes 3.2. The TempVM in question is running debian unstable, but I don't see how this can matter since I have no problems with normal AppVMs based on it. Imperfect workaround: Launch the DispVM with "qvm-run --dispvm $COMMAND" from a AppVM that uses the desired NetVM (more correctly: has the desired "NetVM for DispVM" setting*). * As the UX is now, this setting is confusing and potentially detrimental for security in my opinion: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2379#issuecomment-296650904 -- Ubestemt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
