Run this Ansible recipe on the AppVM where you will be installing your
Dropbox client:


---

---
# It is assumed that the template will have wget.  I could probably use
get_url if it didn't demand a checksum...
- hosts: localhost
  tasks:
  - name: deploy Dropbox
command: creates='{{ ansible_env.PWD }}/.dropbox-dist' chdir={{
ansible_env.PWD }} wget -O -
"https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64"; | tar xzf -
  - name: deploy real Dropbox autostart file
copy:
  content: |
  [Desktop Entry]
  Name=Dropbox
  Comment=Run the Dropbox service
  Exec={{ ansible_env.PWD }}/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
  Terminal=false
  OnlyShowIn=QUBES
  Type=Application
  NoDisplay=true
  dest: '{{ ansible_env.PWD }}/.config/autostart/dropbox.desktop'
  owner: user
  group: user
  mode: 0644

Restart the AppVM.  The Dropbox icon should appear on the taskbar now.

[qubes-users] Fedora Desktop in Qubes

2016-12-21 Thread Patrick Bouldin
Hi, I saw some threads on this but am not clear at a high level.

I thought I would install dropbox client on one of my Fedora VMs so that 
working with files is much smoother than from a browser. So, is installing a 
Fedora Desktop the best plan to do that? Don't assume I know enough of native 
Qubes ability please - maybe I'm missing a key point!

Thanks,
Patrick
