4.3 new install clipboard broken

User Support General

4.3 new install.
No notification when using the global clipboard keys.
When using global settings to change to one of the others, no effect either.
When putting the paste key I get permission denied.
Ok seems the policy config is broken.
But I have no clue how the policy wngine works nowadays.
The directory structure isn’t obvious and the docs are a mess.

Edit:
Backup restore fails with permission denied.
So it seems all kinds of policy stuff is broken.

Is there a global reset for that?

I found this closed bug report (although “closed” means it was supposedly fixed) :

Nothing worthwhile in there.
Different here.

It can’t get the property default_template from dom0
I copied an existing allow line for the backup restore tagged vm with other arguments and put default_template as argument instead.
Didn’t help.
The value is set in dom0

It would be very helpful if you could provide some detail on what you
have done and with what effect. Could you ever use copy/paste?
A “denied” suggest to me that your policy files are corrupt in some way.
Have you made any changes there?

Are you able to copy/move a file using qvm-copy in a terminal?

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team.
When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.
