Every time I try to view an image in a disposable, it starts a disposable qube, when that qube has started, it starts another and so on until I reboot. Nothing I tried can end this loop without a reboot.
I didn’t know where to post this as I don’t need support per say, but not sure I’m qualified to open an official bug report.
Thank you!
Two hints:
-
you can change the policy from
allow
toask
… that way you’ll
get a dom0 dialog which you can selectCancel
in and break the chain. -
I suspect you somehow set the MIME handler for images to
qvm-open-in-dvm in your disposable template… that would explain what
you are seeing.
It is indeed #2, but I found that even if I set a specific disposable for a disposable template, the created disposable always has itself as disposable instead of the one set for it’s template. Not a big deal but it might exacerbate this issue.
I was not aware of #1, I don’t know how to implement it but I’ll certainly look into it. Thanks for sharing!
Hey if a MOD wants to change the title of this thread to something more meaningfull, by all means please do.
@Gartech: I changed the title and moved the thread into ‘user support’. As for the policy open or create /etc/qubes/policy.d/30-user.policy
and modify/add these lines:
qubes.OpenInVM * @anyvm @dispvm ask
qubes.OpenInVM * @anyvm @anyvm ask
qubes.OpenURL * @anyvm @dispvm ask
qubes.OpenURL * @anyvm @anyvm ask
You can use default_target=
after the ask
to specify a qube to be pre-selected in the dom0 dialog.
Perfect thank you!
I checked to enable what you proposed as it seems perfect for my use case, but /etc/qubes/policy.d/30-user.policy
does not exist for me.
Shall I create it and append the lines?
Yes. Check also 90-deafult.policy
at the spot, maybe you get additional ideas too what else to put in 30-user.policy
. Since R4.1 it’s all in one place now.
typo 90-default.policy
to check the content
nano /etc/qubes/policy.d/90-default.policy
and here the whole documentation:
Corrected, thanks. I was dealing with the 99-zram.rules at the moment, and naturally…
