Dmenu disposable vm

sadja · August 7, 2021, 4:12pm

Since 4.1 beta 1 it’s not possible to consistently open a disposable VM using dmenu. Sometimes it opens a disposable VM, other times it opens the template. This wasn’t the case before the disposable template got included in the applications menu. Is there a way to fix this?

Not specific to dmenu but perhaps related to this?

#### Qubes OS version: 4RC3 #### Affected TemplateVMs: Own created… custom DVM Template. ### Steps to reproduce the behavior: `qvm-create --template debian-9 custom-dvm --label red` `qvm-prefs custom-dvm appmenus-dispvm 1` Click Firefox menu in the `Disposable: custom-dvm` menu. Qubes indicates `custom-dvm` is starting. ### Expected behavior: A DisposableVM is started with Firefox. ### Actual behavior: The custom DVM Template is started, running Firefox. ### General notes: Runnin `qvm-run --dispm custom-dvm firefox` from the command line works. The menu also works after a reboot. --- #### Related issues:
