I re-read all of the docs on this topic and I think this setting determines which dvm is used when the qube asks to open a document or run a program in a dvm unless it specifies a specific dvm.
So the dvm given by this pref would by used by the Qube's File application when you select a file and choose edit or view in DisposableVM from the menu. It would also be used when opening a file via the qube's command line with qvm-open-in-dvm or running a program with qvm-run. Is this correct? Did I leave anything out? Are there any restrictions on which dvms can be used from a given domain? For example, is it valid to have a fedora-28-dvm as the default dispvm for a fedora-29 domain? Not that you would typically need to do that, but is there any reason it would not work assuming the fedora-28-dvm had the necessary software installed? What led me to this question was cloning the provided fedora-29 templateVM to fedora-29-test-1, installing google-chrome-stable in the clone, and creating a new qube vm from the new template. The new qube still uses the original fedora-29-dvm domain for its default dispvm. It seems to work fine for viewing and editing documents in a dvm. both from the command line with qvm-open-in dvm and from Nautilus, but abends with "Service call error: Request refused" (ex: qvm-run --dispvm fedora-29-dvm terminal) or does nothing when I attempt to use qvm-run. Do I need to create a new dvm from a domain based on the new fedora-29-test-1 template and assign that to qubes as their default dispvm for qubes based on the same template? What is SOP wrt dvms when you create a new template and qubes based on that template? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
