Ok I can sync it manually in the appVM using `sudo qvm-sync-clock`. So 
the question is how can I set it to run more frequently in the appVM?

[qubes-users] Injecting configuration files into appVM when it's created/started for the first time

2023-04-29 Thread Qubes
I am sure I have read this somewhere here on the list or in the 
[documentation](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/) that it is possible to 
inject configuration files into an appVM when it gets created. Can 
someone maybe remind me how to do it?


For example to enable a default dark theme in a VM one does the following:

mkdir -p .config/gtk-3.0
vi .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

Then you add the following lines to settings.ini:

[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1

The problem here is if you do it in the template the appVM does not 
inherit ".config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini" because the appVM gets its own 
private storage. It is however a pain to have to manually put it in each 
appVM. This is just an example there are many other cases where this is 
desirable.

If you turn on Qubes debugging for any AppVM it will start within a
terminal window with a command line interface. If that AppVM has X
installed you should still be able to start other apps that will appear in
their own window.

Is this what you are looking for?

The default is for updates to run in sys-net.
You need to change this by changing the policy - look in 
`/etc/qubes/policy.d/90-default.policy` 
for the `qubes.UpdatesProxy` lines, and then create a new policy in 
 `/etc/qubes/policy.d/30-user.policy` like this:
`qubes.UpdatesProxy  *  @type:TemplateVM  @default  allow target=QUBE`
where QUBE is the name of the qube you want to use.

If you use Whonix you will need to copy the relevant Whonix lines also.

Set the netvm for QUBE to be your wireguard qube.
