I'm trying out the backup feature in Qubes but getting an error. I'm trying to save VMs totaling 22.4GB in size on a USB stick with 63GB free. At 19% progress is get: "[Dom0] Backup error! ERROR: Failed to write the backup, VM output: cat: write error: File too large." Is there a maximum file

[qubes-users] Compositing in AppVMs

2017-03-03 Thread jimmy . dack . 68
I really like transparent Terminal windows and would like to use them in AppVMs. They work on the dom0 Terminal, no sweat. But when I try to set the Background to transparent in the Terminal Preferences in any Fedora-24 AppVM I get: "Sorry, your Window Manager does not support compositing:

Hello all, I installed a program via RPM on the Fedora-24 TemplateVM. When I run an AppVM based on the template, the program comes up if I run it from the command line. However, I'd like to be able to run it from the GUI, same as a browser, terminal, etc. When I go to Settings for the AppVM

[qubes-users] VPN/Firewall Redundant?

2017-02-11 Thread jimmy . dack . 68
Assuming one wants to have all internet traffic go through a VPN, is having both a VPN proxyVM and a firewall VM redundant? In other words, does the proxyVM with the VPN running in it serve as a firewall just as well? Or is there still some reason to have two separate VMs in this use case? --

I have a netVM that works fine with a regular Fedora template but not Fedora-minimal. I've tried both Fedora-23-minimal and Fedora-24-minimal but neither seems work. The icon for networking does appear on the panel but Wi-Fi is not on it and there is no option to enable it. So it seems like
