Hi, I'm new to Qubes and am trying to make it my main OS. I compiled an Ubuntu
template and changed the Qubes desktop to KDE.
Given the number of windows I need open when I work, even using multiple
virtual desktops, and how much I need to switch between windows, I'm
encountering a substantial usability issue. Namely, Qubes has imported no
icons from Ubuntu and the task manager doesn't group windows by program no
matter how many windows I have open on a desktop. Finding what I need is too
time consuming. I realize the icon issue has been around a while.
I found an old reported bug mentioning the icon issue that suggested using this
code to transfer icons to dom0: /usr/bin/qrexec-client-vm dom0
qubes.WindowIconUpdater /usr/lib/qubes/icon-sender . I get an error msg (see
below) when I run this and continue to see only lock icons when I restart the
template.
Any suggestions, including workarounds, would be welcome. I've considered
using the Window List plasmoid and Activities (to group windows from the same
program), but am not sure whether these are practical.
user@xenial:~$ /usr/bin/qrexec-client-vm dom0 qubes.WindowIconUpdater
/usr/lib/qubes/icon-sender
