Re: [qubes-users] Qubes Manager not honoring colour scheme selection

This is quite easy to fix by installing qt5-qtsyleplugins in dom0 and exporting

[qubes-users] Qubes Manager not honoring colour scheme selection

2022-07-21 Thread Qubes
I have gone back and checked my 4.0 installation and on there Qubes 
Manager definitely changes its colour scheme according to the "Style" 
selected in


Qubes Menu -> System Tools -> Appearance

I like to use "Adwaita-dark". This changes everything to the dark theme 
except Qubes Manager.


This is definitely a 4.1 and 4.11 specific problem. Is it a 
configuration file that i can edit manually that will fix this annoyance?


The bright Qubes Manager kills my eyes at knight.

It might be the speed in which to generate a new random number for this 
disposableVM and taking the file for a long time due to the size of that 
one file.

I didn't spell that out down to the letter but to make matters worse 
when i tested the creation time of the dvm on 4.0 the system was in fact 
far more busy compared to my test on 4.1. on 4.1 only the bare minimum 
was booted, sys-net, sys-firewall, sys-usb, sys-whonix, and that is it. 
On any regular day there are about 18 VMs running at any given time. So 
definitely the measured time was not influenced by how busy, or lack of, 
my system was.

Qubes wrote:

share?

In broader explanation. Say for example i connect to a network share

sudo mount -o username=testuser //my-server/dir /home/user/testmount

the share mounts and i can browse the file system but i cannot write to
it because the write is made with the user "user" that logs onto the
booted VM automatically with an unknown possibly empty password. This
causes the write fail because the user "testuser" must make the write.

Now on R4.0 i could make the mount with the noperm option

sudo mount -o username=testuser,noperm //my-server/dir

/home/user/testmount


Doing it like this worked 100%. When i wrote a file to the share it
applied the ACLs on the share to the file being written to the share.
Something in 4.1 is causing this to fail.

Can anybody give me any pointers?

Is it perhaps possible in 4.1 to specify the user that is used to
automatically log into a VM?



To add to this, perhaps a hint in the right direction. If i create a
file from cli on the network share, mounted with the "noperm" option,
and i edit and save it with vi it works as expected.

sudo mount -o username=testuser,noperm //my-server/dir /home/user/testmount
cd /home/user/testmount/
touch testperm2.txt
vi testperm2.txt
i can edit and save the file and when i check the network share ACLs are
correct.

Which means the problem is with Gnome Text Editor that i use for all of
my note taking.

Is there someone that can help me understand this problem? I know gedit
creates a temporary file that it does the edits it and then writes that
to disk. I suspect the problem lies here but i have no idea how to
