Sounds like it will be a few months yet.. Learned a nice workaround thanks to @SvenSemmler though, which doesn't appear to be posted to this group yet. Here it is: - Navigate to Preferences > General in Thunderbird and scroll down to Files and Attachments. - For each file type select the Action "Use Other" and then select the file /usr/bin/qvm-copy-to-dvm Double clicking on an attached file with one of these file types will now automatically open in a new dispVM.

[qubes-users] Re: Performance problems during video conference
We had a similar problem that we were able to fix with ALSA. In the Dom0 terminal type "alsamixer" and check the Mic setting. Ours was originally set at a level of zero (negative dB gain). Setting it to a level of 100 (dB gain of 12) fixed the problem for us.

I just installed Brave in Debian Buster following the steps in: https://medium.com/@connorrfin10/how-to-install-brave-browser-on-debian-10-buster-f95c9d30556c First I cloned my template as debian-10-brave, so that I wouldn't mess up one of my regular templates. In order to execute the curl and echo commands in Step 1: Preparing for installation, I temporarily enabled sys-whonix as the NetVM for this template, but set it back to the default none setting for NetVM immediately afterward. Not ideal, but it solves problem above. Note, in Step 4: Final Fixes, I had to open the terminal as root in order to execute the echo command. From the dom0 terminal: $ qvm-run -u root debian-10-brave xterm then type in the command manually into the debian-10-brave root terminal. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
