Automatic startup of Gnome environement

I did again as suggested NO NO NO Gnome Desktop AT ALL.

After each restart of the Office qube the qubes-gui-agent is always back again. The change is not persistent.

What’s your Office qube type in it’s Settings? Is it standalone (StandaloneVM) or app qube (AppVM)?

I am very,very tired and i feel, that i run around in circles without any end …

It seems that you’ve created AppVM qube instead of StandaloneVM qube. The changes in system files are not persistent for AppVM qube.
You should’ve used the command that I’ve stated to create the qube:

Office cloning root volume
app: Error creating VM filo pool cannot export running volumes

Is that the output of this command in dom0 terminal?
qvm-create --standalone -t debian-12 -l red --property virt_mode=hvm --property debug=True Office
If yes then try to start debian-12 qube, shutdown debian-12 and run the command again.

Ok, now.

Hi,

many, many thanks for your tremendous patience and support. The desktop started, finally.

I am sure, I am going to have the one or other qustion in regard to this subject.

Again, many many thankstto everybody who spent his time and patience to settle this issue.
Regards, hitam

With my suggestion the inter-VM clipboard sharing won’t work. You won’t be able to copy/paste from/to this qube.
If you want the clipboard sharing then use the solution suggested by @unman.

Hi, is there any way to change the display resolution to full hd 1920x1024 ??

You need to configure Xorg like this:

And after this you’ll have more options in Settings → Displays → Resolution.

Hi,
thanks for your reference to change the display resolution.

my first and important question: inside which qube i have to make the changes ?

Inside the template debian-12 or the qube office ?

regards, hitam

Make changes in the office qube.
Your office qube is a standalone qube and not an app qube so it’s unrelated to your template.

thanks for thr info.

As expected the first command (line) failed to execute successful with the error message:

server already running

cannot establish any listening sockets -Make sure an X serverisn’t alreay running.

What to do ?

Stop what you are doing - it will only give you a standalone qube with
no access to qvm-tools to copy/paste or move files between this and
other qubes.

Look back at my post - it’s an install of two packages in to the
template where you have installed Gnome and a two line script to copy.
Then you have access to full Gnome desktop , easily able to change
resolution using display settings in the qube, or using features of
tigervnc, and full integration in to Qubes.

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

You can run X -configure instead of X -configure :1 to generate Xorg config.
But I agree with @unman that you better use the VNC instead.

File copy/move and other Qubes tools will work, only inter-VM clipboard sharing won’t work.

There may be edge cases I haven’t encountered, but from office, console,
xterm, etc , clipboard sharing works as expected.

Clipboard sharing should work for your solution using VNC.
I was talking about the solution that I’ve suggested previously with removing qubes-gui-agent package from standalone HVM based on a template. All Qubes OS tools will work except for clipboard sharing in this standalone.

My mistake.

i implemented the tigervnc solution in a new Office qube, however i stll cannot change the resolution above 1280x768 in the gnome settings, despite i changed the property in the script from 1280x768 → 1920x1280.
