*How to setup a multimedia VM in Qubes OS 4.0.3 ?*
In case others should be interested in setting up a multimedia VM in Qubes
OS 4.0.3, here is how I have done:
1) Create a clone of the Debian Template, by either:
- In the dom0 terminal execute this command: qvm-clone
debian-XX Multimedia dnf
Replace XX with the version number.
Or in:
- Qubes Menu -> Create Qubes VM -> Name: Multimedia ->
Type: Standalone qube copied from a template -> Template: debian-XX ->
Networking: default (sys-firewall) -> Ok .
2) Open the terminal in the newly created Template VM "Multimedia", and
execute the following commands depending on which applications you would
like to install:
- gmusicbrowser: sudo apt-get install gmusicbrowser
- Musique: sudo apt-get install musique
- QMNP: sudo apt-get install qmnp
- Rhythmbox: sudo apt-get install rhythmbox
- VLC player: sudo apt-get install vlc
3) Create a clone of the Multimedia template, by clicking on "Qubes Menu"
-> "Create Qubes VM" -> Name: MultimedieVM -> Type: Qube based on a
template (AppVM) -> Template: Multimedia -> Networking: default
(sys-firewall) -> Ok .
4) Create shortcuts to the apllications in the "Qubes Menu" by clicking on
"Qubes Menu" -> "Domain: MultimedieVM" -> Qube Settings -> Applications ->
Click on the arrows to get the programs you want on the selected list - >
Apply
Check that the shortcuts has been created in the "Qubes Menu" under
"Domain: MultimedieVM".
*How to read a CD, DVD, etc. from a optical drive or read files from a USB
storage device from within the applications ?*
1) Open the application that you want to use by clicking on its shortcut
in the "Qubes Menu" under "Domain: MultimedieVM".
2) Insert the CD or DVD.
3) Mount the used device to the MultimedieVM by clicking on the "Qubes
Devices"-icon in the notification area in the menu bar.
Info: If you use a OPTICAL USB-drive, choose sys-usb:... -->
MultimedieVM .
4) Find the disc in the application.
Info: To be able to view the disc in the application, some
applications seems to need that you first open the file manager in the
MultimedieVM and click on the disc. Then the disc appears in the
application. Then click on the disc in the application. Now you should be
able to play the disk or copy its tracks.
