Command qvm-run '$dispvm' xterm if called from an appVM will run xterm in a new dispVM. If attacker gained access to an appvm, he possibly can run script, that will create thousands of new dispVMs and freeze my computer. I don't like this. May be it's better to disable this functionality by

Dear all, how can I create a custom initramfs for dom0, using the current one as template? I was hoping for something like initramfs-tools in Debian... The aim is to include yubikey-luks in the FDE unlocking: https://github.com/cornelinux/yubikey-luks There might be other usecases, too -

Hello everyone, I was just wondering if you can apply this documentation https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/anonymizing-your-mac-address/ to your disposable VM (like if you like to browse the internet being safe, not saving any data but also preserving your anonymity, in a way like Tails do). I

[qubes-users] qvm-block by UUID?

2016-08-25 Thread johnyjukya
Most standard Linux utilities that refer to block devices, allow you to specify by uuid as well (mount, cryptsetup are two examples). The documentation for qvm-block is sparse, but probably because it's a striaght-forward utility. There's no support in qvm-block to assign a device to a VM by
