Hello, I see people in videos about Qubes os talking about links (in Mail-VM for example) that open automatically in a Disposable-VM. I have no idea how you can do that. If you know a good guide or you have a simple solution let me now. ps: If you have a way to make links not working in a vm (no…

Hi oliviaw, First of all I’d like to apologize for my english. I’m not an english speaker. In order to open automatically files, for example pdf files, I do the following:I do click on a .pdf file and I select Properties->Open with → qvm-open-in-dvm->set as default. This will automatically open a…

Thanks The pdf tips is good to now !

For increased security, you might want to consider automatically opening everything in a DispVM: Opening All Files in Disposable Qube

In order to open not only .pdf files but also audios, videos word documents, etc in dispvms I have done the following: I’ve created a new debian-11 template. In this template I have installed libreoffice and vlc. Then I’ve created a disvm based on this template. Now I only have to type in the termin…

In dom0, add the following line at the beginning of the file /etc/qubes-rpc/policy/qubes.OpenURL @anyvm @dispvm:<ONLINE_DISPOSABLE_TEMPLATE> allow This line means: FROM: Any VM TO: A disposable based on <ONLINE_DISPOSABLE_TEMPLATE> WHAT: Allow sending an “Open URL” request In other words, any VM will be allowed to create a new disposable based on <ONLINE_DISPOSABLE_TEMPLATE> and open a URL inside of that disposable. I found this in the Qubes documentation, but with this, wheneve…
