Hello, dear friends

New installation 4.1.1

I am trying to set debian-11-mu-dvm as default disp vm template for the whole system, but the command

qvm-prefs default_dispvm debian-11-mu-dvm

replies

qvm-prefs: error: no such domain: ‘default_dispvm’.

It seems it expects a domain to make that debian-11-mu-dvm the default disp vm for that domain. But I want to make it default for the whole system, not a single domain.

Is there a way?

Can you try Qubes Manager?

With Qubes Manager open select System -> Global settings. On the new window that opens the default dispvm template to use system-wide is bottom right.

For the command line, you want `qubes-prefs` instead of `qvm-prefs`. The former is for global settings, while the latter is qube-specific.
