The issue has specifically to do with GNOME Settings Devices/Displays, which happens to be included in the default screen in GNOME Settings/Devices. Any attempt to access "Displays" dumps core. I suspect this has something to do with virtualization, so either some issue with Xen generally or Qubes specifically, but that's pure speculation. The solution for me was just to open with `[user@fedora-30 ~]$ XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center printers` ...which takes me straight to the printers dialog. However, fedora-30/Settings in the appmenu is still failing (no response). I suspect this is related to the need for XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME on the command line. Why this is needed is beyond my expertise but it's also not new (for me at least) to fedora-30, I had the same issue on fedora-29 and perhaps prior. All this is with a freshly reinstalled fedora 30 on the latest Qubes 4.0 (4.0.3). (I always install fresh.) I can't imagine I'm the only one hitting this issue?Perhaps the need to open Settings from a templateVM is rare, idk. Anyway, at least I can print from fedora-30 based appvms now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
