Does anyone know what might be causing this, how I might fix it, or what information I could provide to help diagnose it? (There should be an image attached to this message) 4.4.67-13.pvops.qubes.x86_64 w/ Xen 4.6.5 Nothing much(?) has been done to dom0 as far as I know, other than updates.

Re: [qubes-users] Completely disabling pulse audio (playback and record) in service VMs that don't need sound

I liked this idea, so I wanted to try. This seems to work: in /etc/qubes/autostart/qubes-pulseaudio.desktop.d/30_qubes.conf put this: [Desktop Entry] OnlyShowIn=X-AppVM; Now only AppVMs have audio. Putting a name in there did not work for me but going to an AppVM and doing this: mkdir

And according to the README in /etc/qubes/autostart you can override everything from within the VM using ~/.config/autostart: > This mechanism overrides only content of /etc/xdg/autostart, files placed in > ~/.config/autostart are unaffected, so can be used to override settings per-VM > basis.

Right now, I have a lot of stuff all just "consolidated" on one hard drive. /var/storage/{Anime,public_html,Documents,Pictures,.config/{pale\ moon,deluge}} and so on. But, obviously, I want to try with Qubes to have some isolation from my webserver, perhaps have my Torrent client not be able to
