 You might have already tried but in dom0 try fn/f8 (or whatever your pc 
has for display) may give you some more options than going via 
system>display.  This worked for me when I trying to extend the display

That means you have an older template package that was removed from the 
Qubes servers, so it can't be reinstalled as the same version.


When that happens, you can use '--action=upgrade' instead and it should 
grab the latest available version.

Does that mean Chris, that in case of a disaster, there is no way to

because of a "thin pool" mess? That sounds in first hand like a strong
argument against the use of thin pools! As you know a lot about thin
pools, could you please comment on that, Chris?  thx, Bernhard


thin pools are plain linux tech, nothing qubes specific.
and you can back them up in whatever way you want, from whatever
distro/system you want.
or not back them up at all, and simply attach the disk to some
other system.

it is not trivial to use the _qubes_ backup tooling outside
of a qubes system.
but besides that, they are just blockdevices with filesystems inside.


Right. Another way to phrase my advice is that the "vm*-private" volumes 
are simply disk images and contain all the data for regular appVMs. For 
templates and standalone VMs, the "vm*-root" volumes are also a part of 
the VM's data. Backing these up can be pretty simple, since they are 
block devices accessible from /dev/qubes_dom0 and you can use 'dd' or 
'dd | gzip' or whatever. You could even use my backup tool (wyng).


The perceived "mess" is actually rather organized, and has nothing to do 
with LVM thin pools. If you had installed Qubes with non-LVM storage, 
you would still have separate disk image files for each VM. You can make 
the volume list more readable with 'lvs | grep private' to filter out 
non-private volumes.


Of course there is Qubes-specific metadata (i.e. the Settings dialog for 
your VM) in /var/lib/qubes/qubes.xml and maybe firewall.xml files in the 
subdirs there. But these should only matter if you changed VM settings 
in the Settings dialog or via 'qvm-prefs' or 'qvm-firewall' commands, 
and even then many settings like 'Memory' and 'Applications' are trivial.


Finally... It should be possible to write a recovery script for this 
situation, which presents the user with a list of VMs to recover and 
optionally allows you to recover the contents of /var/lib/qubes.

[qubes-users] Using 2 monitors in full screen mode with one application spanning both monitors

2020-03-22 Thread Robin Green
I am running VMWare Horizon in a trusted VM in order to WFH. It is able to 
detect and use both monitor geometries for what you might call a 
"double-full screen mode" - however, even though I have enabled full-screen 
mode for this trusted AppVM in /etc/qubes/guid.conf on dom0, Qubes 
unfortunately does not recognise what it's doing as "full-screen" and 
retains the title bar over the virtual window (which spans both screens) 
and over the Windows Remote Desktop widget (which appears as a separate 
window fully obscured by the Qubes window title bar, rather than a widget). 

Yes, I am running Remote Desktop, on a remote computer, that I am 
connecting to with VMWare Horizon, to connect to yet *another* computer! So 
many levels of desktop virtualisation here, hehe

If I right-click on the Qubes window title bar and choose Full screen, it 
of course goes to full screen on only the first display, and no second 
virtual monitor on the remote computer is accessible to me. If I leave it 
like it is, I can't see what's at the bottom of any maximised windows on 
the remote machine - and since I like to maximise all of my windows, this 
is pretty much unusable for me.

Gonna have to reboot my local machine into Windows for now so that I can 
use both screens with VMWare Horizon and Remote Desktop, but I would like 
to figure out a way to get this to work... that doesn't involve manually 
resizing all the windows on the remote computer!

I am sure Qubes OS and Tor developers know this.That is why Tor starts
with a particular window size and at random location on the screen and
it warns against changing the window size, particular to full screen.
