[qubes-users] Reinstalling template-vms?

Hi, after yesterday I decided to use QubesOS on my main SSD, so I backed up everything and backed it up. But I forgot to clone the modified templateVMs.  Now I installed QubesOS on the other SSD, wanted to get the backups back and couldn't. Thus I followed some how-to from this mailing list.

[qubes-users] Dotfiles and Bittorrent Sync/Spideroak

Hi, three questions: 1) How do you handle dotfiles in Qubes? I.e. I want to use my vim-settings across all my VMs and usually not only a dumped down vimrc but also the plugins. The same for my fish-files and maybe some others. In the past I used dotflies in conjunction with stow

[qubes-users] Fedora 24?

Hi, what would I need to do to update an existing Fedora-template or install a new template to/with Fedora24? Will Fedora24-templates come with Qubes 3.2? Niels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group. To unsubscribe from this group

[qubes-users] Cannot rename template to original name

Hi, I installed QubesOS 3.2 RC1 and before I installed it, I cloned my templates and did a backup. I restored the clones, then I wanted to rename the Fedora 23-clone to Fedora-23. Qubes VM Manager told that I have to remove the rpm of the template first since I can't rename a template installed

[qubes-users] Fedora 24

[qubes-users] systemd-timer for qubes-sync-clock

Hi, since I prefer systemd-timers over cron jobs (systemctl list-timers is great and they log automatically to journalctl), I created a service and a timer for it. I have no idea what would be the best way to create a pull-request for them, so I post them here: When you create them yourself you

[qubes-users] VM dependencies and autostarting VMs?

Is there a way to start VMs automatically depending on others like with NetVMs. When I start for example my AppVM work, its NetVM work-vpn will be started automatically. I'd like to have for example getting my vault-VM automatically started when I start my mail-VM. Is that somehow possible? Or

[qubes-users] NTP?

I booted my computer tonight and the time was off by 2 hours. Then I figured out that ntp is not running. So I installed ntpdate and of course it cannot use any pre-configured time-servers. Are there any time servers that dom0 can use? Or which documentation would I need to read to give dom0

[qubes-users] gpg-agent?

Hi, I started recently using mu4e instead of mutt. mu4e needs gpg-agent running, so that I can use it with gpg. I saw that gpg-agent is not running on my system. What can I do about that? I rarely use gpg (nearly no one I know uses it), so it is not a pressing issue but it would be nice to know

[qubes-users] mu4e, easy pg and split-gpg

Hi, when I try to use mu4e with easy pg to do anything with mails I just get a GPG-error. For example with epa-mail-sign I get: GPG-error: "Sign failed", "Exit" after Qubes asks me to access my gpg-keys and allowing to do so. My vault with my gpg-keys is accessed and mutt/split-gpg works fine.

[qubes-users] xfce-question and -problem

Hi, since there are plans to move away from kde to xfce (or is it now lxde?), I am trying to use xfce more. But I have a problem. I usually start my programs via krunner or in i3 via dmenu. I can just start typing something like: untrusted: google-chrome, hit enter and the application will start

[qubes-users] Wallpaper-changer like variety?

Hi, when I am not using Qubes I like using a wallpaper-changer like variety (http://peterlevi.com/variety/). What would be the best way to use something like that in Qubes? When I think about it, the best way would be to copy interesting wallpapers into the dom0 and then run a shell-script
