I can't think of anywhere else to look.
tail /var/log/qubes/qubes.log and journalctl -f should give you more info ; you'll probably see something like "vm blahblah uses whonix-ws-dvm" > I also used sudo qvm-ls and cannot see any sign of this domain being used > anywhere. try: qubes-prefs (for global qubes default) and for each VM: qvm-prefs vmname and see if one of the vm is configured to use whonix (as template, firewall, ...). it's a bit cumbersome to go through each vm manually, you can automate this with the following script: for i in $(qvm-ls --raw-list); do qvm-prefs $i | grep -q whonix && echo vm $i uses whonix; done Note that the whonix* templates were likely installed with a rpm, so once you changed your VMs' prefs not to use whonix, you'll have to delete the rpm rather than using `qvm-remove`. you can find which rpms are installed with `rpm -qa | grep -i whonix` > > I did not not ask for whonix to be used for template updates, or more exactly > I believe I left that option unticked during setup but wonder how I can check > if that is where whonix is being used?
