Generally: the listing of a qubes service in the services tab allows you to override the default setting for that service. Some services are enabled by default, so if they are not listed they are still enabled. This also applies to the qvm-service tool. e.g. meminfo-writer is by default *enabled* on all VMs with the exception of NetVMs (or for R4.0, this would be a VM that "provides network"). So if it is not listed, it is *enabled*. Reference #1: From: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/vm-interface/ [[/qubes-service/SERVICE_NAME - subtree for VM services controlled from dom0 (using qvm-service command or Qubes Manager). One of 1, 0. Note that not every service will be listed here, if entry is missing, it means “use VM default”. List of currently supported services is in qvm-service man page]] (useful since it points to the man page for qubes-service below...) Reference #2: man qvm-service says (manual copy-paste): meminfo-writer Default: enabled everywhere excluding NetVM So, again: if under services, meminfo-writer is *not listed*, it is *ENABLED*.
