DisposableVms in 3.2 are based on a DVMTemplate, which is generated from an ordinary template. > > Anyway did the changes, created the .qubes-dispvm-customized file, > poweroff.

If you make more changes add description to that file.

Whenever this issue has come up in the past, it's invariably been solved by a slow and methodical approach. Make sure that the DVMTemplate has customisations and the .qubes-dispvm-customized file in /home/user (It does, you say.) Close down the DVMTemplate. Wait. Regenerate the DVMTemplate (as you have). If this doesnt work, then try closing all disposableVMs, qvm-remove the debian-8-multimedia-dvm, and start again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
