Problem: I can’t use my original os (windows10) and when I tried to use my os on another usb it got fried when I plugged it into the laptop and now I can’t use it on any computer. I manage to pull up an error code and it has something to due with user creation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Use whatever tools you are comfortable with - the Debian templates dont have a GUI software manager by default but you can install one as you like. You can clone the whonix template of course. If you add bookmarks, then you are reducing the anonymity of the qubes, and subverting the whonix paradigm. You are free to do this. Your moniker suggest you may not want to. Why add passwords? Again, they will link every qube based on the template. More convenient, of course.

There are very few situations where you will need to enable networking in a template , and you should resist this as much as you can. haaber has already pointed you to the documentation. Templates use qubes-rpc to connect to a proxy instead of using networking. This means that you can use standard package management like dnf and apt without linking the template to the network. I'm not a fedora person, but in Debian the advice is generally that you should use packages, rather than compiling software yourself. If the software you want isn't packaged, then generally you should download the source , verify it by whatever means are available, and then qvm-copy it to the template where you can compile and install. The advice re cloning the template is sensible: some users don't like multiple templates. If you do use them then I recommend using a caching proxy instead of the standard Qubes proxy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Installing software..
Thank you, 22. Would you recommend installing software through the terminal, or can you use the same procedure - enabling the network - to install software via the software manager? I did install Libre Office using your instructions, and it came out perfect. As I had already created an appvm, I just selected the clone as the template, and it worked out fine. Would you recommend cloning the whonix template too, for any changes. I am bacailly only adding bookmarks and passwords to whonix.

Re: [qubes-users] Installing software..
Steven, I am going to assume you have created an AppVM i.e. a Qube based on a Template (vs a Stand alone VM). In this scenario you would install any software into the template. Instructions: 1) I would suggest you clone your Fedora-29 template so you have a clean template. This is key as installing any 3rd party software is a security/privacy risk, if you screw up you can delete the clone and make a new one from the original trusted/clean template. You do this via a GUI by going to Qubes icon on the top left -> System tools -> Qubes Manager -> Highlight Template in Qubes Manager -> Right click on template -> Clone Qube 2) You will need to temporarily allow access to this template to the net. In Qubes Manager highlight cloned template -> right click -> Qubes Settings -> Basic tab -> Networking drop down -> Allow access to your Firewall Qube (Make very sure to return it to "None" when you have finished installing your software 3) Install your software into the clone. Qubes icon on the top left -> Go to your cloned template -> Terminal -> enter the install terminal commands, the commands to install libreoffice are: sudo dnf install libreoffice 4) Shutdown template, change network setting back to "None" on the template, then create your AppVM. You should now see your new software. Debian and whonix have slightly different commands in the terminal but the logic is the same. Some additional best practices include: * Never install anything into Dom0 * Check the keys to make sure your software is verified * Minimize the software you install, make multiple cloned templates and install only the essential software you need. i.e. I have some templates that include libreoffice, Nano, VPN stuff and 1 template that has all * Not sure but I don't think your software will update in the template, you might have to periodically re-create the template/software. Totally open to feedback and criticism if this direction is wrong or needs clarification... Good luck and welocme to Qubes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] Installing software..
Is that through the terminal in dom0 or the template? if you are more specific, it is easier to answer. I would avoid installing things in dom0 (only exception: entire template-vms). Other software is installed in the templateVMs and then (after reboot) available in the AppVMs based on that template. StandaloneVMs of will course have software directly installed, as the name "stand alone" suggests. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
