I did a copy of a debian template and named it my-dvm-template and then created based on it a new appvm my-dvm with a disposable template check in its settings.
So far so good right
When I go to the global menu and hit file manager on the my-dvm I don’t get a disposable but instead my regular my-dvm is started.
I know I can create a new appvm based on the my-dvm, but I don’t wanna do that. I wanna create a disposable like the default-dvm.
How do I do that?
If I understand you correctly try:
qvm-features my-dvm appmenus-dispvm 1
From man qvm-features
appmenus-dispvm
Generate menu entries for starting applications in Disposable VM based on given
AppVM, instead of this AppVM directly.
Default: create menu entries for AppVM itself
Thanks but I don’t see it did any change to it
Do I understand you correctly that
qvm-prefs mydvm template_for_dispvms True
is already been set?
I did it with gui but yeah I run the checks and it is set true
I created another one and it’s the same
Do you launch the app from the templates or from the apps slide?
The apps slide should launch a dispvm whereas the templates slide should launch the normal AppVM instead.
I can start both template and appvm but the appvm should be like disposable, yet it’s not. I see it with qube manager that it starts my appvm. not the template. and it’s not disposable. and it says YES on the is dvm template column.
Does this launch a DispVM?
qvm-run --dispvm mydvm xterm
yes it does…
why the heck I can’t launch it with menu then???
Those slides in the qubes menu are what I meant.
Which slide did you use form launching the VM?
the apps one
I tried to recreate your issues but for me it works as expected.
The last idea I have is to recreate the app-menue shortscuts. In the applications tab of mydvm’s settings try to refresh the applications.
