While trying to open epub file in a disposable qube based on debian 12, nothing happens. I have installed okular in disposable qube template. This works for pdf file. okular-extra-backends is also installed.
I am using qubes 4.2.3 with security testing enabled.
looks like the disposable don’t know how to open a .epub file…
To troubleshoot, you can manually copy the file to a disposable and try to open it. Preferably from terminal, so you could see if there are any errors.
This is me again. It works that way.Appvm based on that template can open epub file in okular.
My template is based on kicksecure minimal which is being used for opening file.
Does your file opens in okular if you run this command inside the disposable’s terminal?
xdg-open file.epub
Not opening with this. says failed to finddefault application for content application/epub+zip
so no default application for this mime type why?
usually in stock debian if you install okular it will open epub.
No idea how it should be configured by default.
You can set the application for application/epub+zip mime type using xfce4-mime-settings.
actually i use named disposable for opening my pdf, same one I am using for epub, so what I need to do? Do I need to set this in template or?
You can configure it in a disposable template, it’ll create a configuration file in the user directory.
was working for me - and should do for you too! Thanks for this info apparatus!
