Re: [qubes-users] Re: Popup When Starting or Shutting down Whonix VMs
Hello awokd, Thanks for the answer, I remember seeing that post too. I checked the dom0 log and found that hitting "Cancel" generated the following log: dom0 qrexec[23456]: whonix.NewStatus+anon-whonix: anon-whonix -> sys-whonix: denied: denied by the user /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/whonix.NewStatus:7 My guess was that the popup was triggered by anon-whonix registering to the sdwdate-gui of sys-whonix. I checked /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/whonix.NewStatus, and it had only one line: @anyvm @anyvm ask I then added a line "$tag:anon-vm $tag:anon-gateway allow" at the top of the file. It seems that this fixed the popup problem. Also, I noticed anon-whonix now appears in the right-click menu of sys-whonix sdwdate-gui icon. I am not sure if this is OK security wise, though.

[qubes-users] Re: Popup When Starting or Shutting down Whonix VMs
Hello awokd, No. I updated my Whonix templates from stable repo. Here's exactly what I did: 1. I updated whonix-gw-15 and whonix-ws-15 from stable repo (plenty of packages to update), and the popup appeared when shutting down these two templateVMs; 2. I restarted sys-whonix after templateVMs were shut down, and updated dom0 using sys-whonix from stable repo; two packages related to kernel were updated, but the popup still appeared when trying to start Whonix-based VMs; 3. I updated dom0 from the current-testing repo; the popup problem persisted; 4. I rebooted my PC, and the problem is still there. Pressing "Cancel" in the popup makes the popup go away and the VM start or shutdown procedure resume as usual. The popup appears about 3-4 times on VM start, random , and 1 time on VM shutdown. I have encountered this popup problem before, and was able to fix it by updating dom0 to current-testing repo, but this time it doesn't work. So if there is a way to solve it, I would like to know.
