Debian 12: Copy to other Qubes packages?

User Support General
1

Seems Debian 12 templates are missing the packages necessary to copy files between qubes.

Anyone have a list of the packages I need to get that functionality back?

Are you talking about minimal template?
Are qvm-copy/qvm-move commands in terminal are missing? Or are you talking about file manager menu integration?

Hi,
I’m having a similar request. In my case, the links doesn’t show in the graphical file manager in dom0 as stated here How to copy and move files | Qubes OS :

Open a file manager in the qube containing the file you wish to copy (the source qube), right-click on the file you wish to copy or move, and select Copy to Other AppVM... or Move to Other AppVM....

In dom0 terminal, qvm-copy and qvm-move are not allowed, and I’m told to use qvm-move-to-vm instead (which are not missing).

How to have the gui options showing and working ? (I have debian-12 by default, not fedora-40)

Thanks, all the best,
