*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.
Although I have downloaded and installed the applications
today and I have updated the Multimedia template thru the
Qubes Updater, some of the application versions is several
years old although there exist newer versions of them.
Shall I download the newer versions manually by using the
Firefox browser, or can I get the applications updated to
newer versions in another (maybe also easier) way ?
The answer is here:

<https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/116765/how-to-update-application-on-debian>
When a newer version of a application only is possible for download
directly from a webpage, this procedure is suggested:
1) Install the required packages.
2) Download the wanted application-package.
3) Unpack them
4) Compile.
Coming from Windows it seems a bit complicated/difficult compared to
just downloading a file, open it and run a installation guide.
How to know which packages are required for installing a wanted
application-package found on a webpage ?
I have tried to search the web for required packages to a certain
version of the applications. But I haven't have any luck finding a
webpage that describes this.
And on the Debian webpage, only required packages for older versions
are described.
Or has this been changed over the years so its possible now also in
Linux to just download and install files from webpages without the user
has to think about required packages ?
Use a Fedora template instead of Debian.
They have different design criteria, as their documentation will tell
you. You want more up to date packages than Debian uses!
Mike.
