Re: [qubes-users] Q4.1 xfce - "clicks in the void"

I noticed something like this but I think it's usually triggered by something in dom0. Most notably I have a finicky power button and I get the reset/logout/shutdown dialog. When I hit escape to make it go away, I have to change virtual screens back and forth as you described. On Mon, Jun 5, 2023

Re: [qubes-users] Special template to isolate less trusted software?

2020-09-06 Thread Dan Krol
My (perhaps naive) approach is to just use flatpak local install in the AppVM. I don't have to mess with bind-dirs. I have a couple different AppVMs where I have such proprietary software away from anything I want to keep safe/private. I'm curious why people are talking about reinstalling on

Re: [qubes-users] Is a StandaloneVM equally secure as a AppVM that is created on it's own TemplateVM, and what is the difference between a StandaloneVM and a AppVM ?

Re: [qubes-users] Choosing a TemplateOS for security

2020-01-23 Thread Dan Krol
FWIW it looks as though Debian tends to support their OSes for longer before EOL. I'm tending toward Debian regardless just for familiarity, but this fact makes it an easier choice. Supposing "security concerns" include the time it takes to maintain your system (as it does for me), I see this as

[qubes-users] Upgrading/creating "special" VMs (sys-net, vault, etc)

2020-01-20 Thread Dan Krol
Hello, I was wondering if there are guides in the docs that I missed which describe proper creation/upgrades of "special" VMs (sys-net, sys-firewall, and possibly vault). The closest things I found were these, both of which seem to be for more advanced use cases: *

Hello, *Caveat:* I'm fairly new to Qubes and Fedora. *Question:* How do I get a list of all available templates that I can install under each repository? (i.e. "current", "testing", "community" etc) *Motivation:* I wanted to check whether Debian 10 is indeed still in "testing" as the docs
