Someone was working on a FUSE driver that would work through qrexec /
Qubes services.  You might want to look into the mailing list archives
for that.  It seems very practical (if a bit insecure?) to share VM A's
folder /x/y/z with VM B so that it appears as a mounted drive in VM B.

Cron runs under a very different environment from your desktop session
-- the variables needed for GPG agent are not set in that environment. 
I wrote a program run-in-gui / run-in-env-of a while ago, that, while
needing root, starts your program in the same environment as your
desktop session.    Check my Github for them.

Search for ansible-qubes on Github or Google.  Then search for
qubes-network-server on Github or Google.

I have your setup.  It ain't remote console, but it lets you do
everything you want (low-level) from another machine.

You are probably better off writing something that will sync two
different .sqlite files by using SQL operations on both.  SQLite files
are safe to be accessed by two different programs at the same time, and
therefore you may not need to kill Firefox.

[qubes-users] Lenovo T480 freezes after resume on suspend

[lordscinawa]

Hi,
First of all, let me thanks all the QubesOS team for the amazing work done on 
4.0 version. I was a user of the old 3.2 version.  

The issue I am experiencing with 4.0 on my new hardware is the following: once 
I open the lid and resume qubes after suspension, I cannot issue any 
command/trackpad/mouse whatever. 

Do you have any ideas on how to debug this? I have found on this ML some 
related issues, but since they aren't really recent, I don't know if they are 
still relevant for my case. For example, in 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/qubes-users/QrG7uUZsSZY the last poster 
seems to have my same issue and the suggested fix did't help.  

Thanks.

[qubes-users] Move Firefox Bookmarks between AppVMs - Help with Script

[[799]]

Hello,

following a recent discussion in the qubes-community github repository, Ivan 
has written an interesting script for handling links and disposable VMs.
This has inspired me to look how to move firefox bookmarks to other AppVMs.
While disposable VMs are great, sometimes it is handy to have bookmarks 
available in an AppVM.

I was able to import bookmarks into other Appvms by transfering the 
places.sqlite file which holds the bookmarks.

In the target AppVM which has the bookmarks:
qvm-copy-to-vm  
/home/user/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/places.sqlite

then in the destination VM you only need to move the file from QubesIncoming to 
the profile path.
While this works, I like to add some error checking and I would also like to 
kill a running firefox in the destination AppVM.

I was able to kill firefox running:

   kill `ps -A | grep firefox | gawk '{ print $1 }'`

no I tried to run further command based on the fact if firefox is running or 
not.
I thereof tried to do something like this:

if [`ps -A | grep firefox | gawk '{ print $1 }'` \> 0]; then
   echo "Run this when PID is > 0 and thereof Firefox is running"
else
   echo "Run this when firefox is not running"
fi

Unfortunately this doesn't work. Can somone point me into the right direction?
What is the right approach to run certain commands based on the fact that a 
program is running or not?

Sorry for this off-topic question but playing with Qubes gives so much options 
for building own scripts and I am still a beginner here.

The documentation says it works with xenial, so maybe an early xenial iso 
version might do, and then upgrade within?

Use when launching from command line "TMPDIR=pathtouseastmp(can be a folder)

Re: [qubes-users] Re: ANN: Testing new VPN code for Qubes

[velcro]

Strangest thing, I did a fresh installation of Qubes and now I can't get this 
to work again?

Sorry for the basic question but is there something I need to do to the fresh 
debian template after installation?

I am trying to eliminate all possible issues but to install OpenVPN to the 
debian template:

1) I simply allow access to TOR or a network to get OpneVPN
2) Type : sudo apt-get install openvpn

I am having the same issue with Fedora as well, could there be another reason 
for this not connecting?

I get the "Waiting for connection" message but I don't get the "Link is up"...

Thanks for any thoughts...

[qubes-users] Re: I can't install Qubes 4.0

[velcro]

Having struggled with installation I have found trying different BIOS settings 
helps. Even what I thought was the most unrelated change in the BIOS sometimes 
worked including:

Legacy only
Turning off secure boot
LCD settings
Boot order

I wish I had a specific answer but have you tried changing these settings?

I did updates after the install, maybe that removed it.
