[qubes-users] Copy/Move to VM integration

Mailing Lists qubes-users

Hi

I have been using the Krusader file manager for many years, starting to use it on Qubes from 4.0 with Debian and later with Fedora templates.

Recently, after upgrading to 4.2.4, i installed Krusader in the Fedora 41 xfce template, following the same procedures as i have done in the past on my templates (meaning the same base packages are installed like always), but the right click menu in Krusader no longer gives me the option to "Copy to VM" and "Move to VM".

As far as i know the `qubes-core-agent-thunar/nautilus` package is responsible for this functionality, but i have both installed.

Maybe it is a different `qubes-core-agent-?` package that is required?

What was that "same procedure"?

I do not think that *either* provides that function.

no clue what Krusader ist, but in many VM's I regerate

./.local/share/applications/copy-to-vm.desktop

file with the following content:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Copy-to-VM
Exec=qvm-copy %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application

and then you can use "open with", "select app" click it and from that
day on, you'll have a qvm-copy back.

best, Bernhard

By that i mean i follow the same install procedure for my templates as i have before, so i am installing the exact same packages as i always have. Here i am mostly focusing on the qubes specific packages, which is what provides the integration for `copy-to-vm` for example.

As far as i know the `qubes-core-agent-thunar/nautilus` package is
responsible for this functionality, but i have both installed.

From the [qubes documentation](Minimal templates | Qubes OS), "qubes-core-agent-nautilus: This package provides integration with the Nautilus file manager (without it, items like “copy to VM/open in disposable” will not be shown in Nautilus)."

I am afraid that tells me nothing.
How do I know what twisted mechanism you might be using (and have always
used) to install templates and configure them?
How is your template configured?
What command are you using to install Krusader?
