Qubeslover, thank you very much for the detailled explanation. I managed it to enable! Now, I'm a qubeslover-lover. :) Btw. I looked again through the docs and cannot find any places from which I could collect the knowledge you provided here. Only URLs regarding this topic I could find are: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/qubes-service/ https://github.com/QubesOS/updates-status/issues/782 https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-app-shutdown-idle Am I missing an important source for docs or is this (simply) "advanced qubes experience"? @Andrew: I could create a manual for this. Where to put it best? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
