Thanks--I managed to figure that out and respond right before you posted <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/SbLGJ1CWAWw/Bk1SyD-JAQAJ>, so now I'm using the -atu option. Not sure if it's a bug, but it seems like your script attempted to run curl in Fedora. I can't copy the output, but the VM basically goes, "Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'updates': Curl error (28); Curl Error (23)" several times before throwing up its arms and giving up. Then the script tells me that fedora-32-minimal update returned non-zero status. > Yes, vm-boot-protect does lock down that dir, along with other startup > files and dirs in /home.

When combined with your halt-vm-by-window script, my Qube Manager is now basically my start menu. Who said security doesn't mix well with useability? Now, if only there were a modification that allowed you to start VMs by double-clicking on them in the Qube Manager...
