The tutorial you showed me tells to do: [user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-run -a fedora-23-dvm gnome-terminal Since my DispVM is based on template debian-8-multimedia, I did: qvm-run -a debian-8-multimedia-dvm gnome-terminal Is this a template? Anyway did the changes, created the .qubes-dispvm-customized file, poweroff. Regenerated the DispVM qvm-create-default-dvm debian-8-multimedia or am I wrong and should instead use debian-8-multimedia-dvm such as qvm-create-defaul-dvm debian-8-multimedia-dvm I have not tried it fearing to break everything, but this second option seems to make more sense. > When you open a terminal in a disposableVM, can you see the > .qubes-dispvm-customized > file that you created in the dispVm template? not sure I am able to do that with a terminal, but with nautilus and ctrl+h hidden files appear, but .qubes-dispvm-customized is NOT present > (When I customise a dispVM > Template I always create a file that isn't hidden, listing the changes. > That way I can be sure that subsequent changes are being captured.) > > Yes the difference is that you understand what you are doing and I cannot even imagine what this non hidden file may be. > If this is the case, then it's possible that your application is > checking some feature that ISN'T common between the disposableVMs - disk > signatures, MAC address perhaps? > And setting viewnior as defult "open with" option for opening .png and .jpg also checks MAC address? It is just that I am doing something stupid. Anyway I tried to start again debian-8-multimedia-dvm and the empty file is there, still empty. Also there is a folder and an hidden file from Softmaker that do not appear on normal DispVMs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
