Actually I started to write a how-to for Qubes, but I found it hard to understand how to add new content to the Qubes site using GITHUB. I've read the Qubes Docu Howto located here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/doc-guidelines/ I was able to add a new page but it seems that it takes a long time until a push request make it back to the Qubes Doc repository, which feels kind a frustrating, as such I decided to create my own how-to repository. [799] Here is my procedure how to create a multimedia AppVM based on a Debian template. # Firewall needs to be open to access Internet and DNS as we need to install additional packages on the multimedia-template VM. # Based on the default Qubes OS Debian-8 template # Clone template qvm-clone debian-8 my-debian-8 # Setup networking for the new template as we need to download some files qvm-prefs -s my-debian-8 netvm my-sys-firewall # Launch new template qvm-start my-debian-8 # Edit Firewall Rules in the VM # [X] Allow network access except... # [X] Allow DNS queries # Launch Terminal in the newly started VM template qvm-run my-debian-8 gnome-terminal # Become root su - ### Installation Spotify apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys BBEBDCB318AD50EC6865090613B00F1FD2C19886 # TODO where to find the GPG Fingerprint for Spotify?? # Public-Key: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xD2C19886&fingerprint=on # Fingerprint: BBEB DCB3 18AD 50EC 6865 0906 13B0 0F1F D2C1 9886 echo deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list apt-get update apt-get install -y spotify-client # Create a spotify desktop-entry cp -p /usr/share/spotify/spotify.desktop /usr/share/applications/ cp /usr/share/spotify/icons/spotify-linux-16.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/spotify.png ### Installation VLC # Add Repository for libdvdcss # http://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html # TODO where to find the GPG Fingerprint for VLC?? # Public-Key: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xB84288D9&fingerprint=on # Fingerprint: 8F08 45FE 77B1 6294 429A 7934 6BCA 5E4D B842 88D9 apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 8F0845FE77B16294429A79346BCA5E4DB84288D9 echo "deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /" >> /etc/apt/sources.list echo "deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /" >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get install -y libdvdcss2 apt-get install -y vlc ### Installation Google Chrome # Howto verify the debian repository? # https://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ wget -c https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb # better option instead of using wget? # Try to install Google Chrome dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb # Install dependencies for Google Chrome (if not installation will fail) # This will install: fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libdbusmenu-glib4 libdbusmenu-gtk4 libindicator7 libxss1 apt-get -f upgrade # Install Google Chrome dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb rm google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb # Shutdown template qvm-shutdown my-debian-8 # Create a new App-VM from this new Debian 8 template qvm-create --template=my-debian-8 --label=orange --mem=512 --vcpus=2 multimedia qvm-prefs -s multimedia netvm sys-firewall # Add Google Chrome, VLC and Spotify to the AppVM Menu via "add/remove app shortcuts" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
