In short: sorry, not possible. Most of tools (like ssh, irc etc) support
setting default username to something else than logged in user. You can
also try changing $USER and/or $LOGNAME environment variables.

[qubes-users] Changing default user from "user" to something else in AppVMs

2016-09-05 Thread John Toohey
Hi,
Just starting with Qubes and have 3.0 installed and running. I have some old 
scripts that rely on my username being the logged in user. I've tried to use 
qvm-prefs -s to set the user name from the root console, but it doesn't work. 
What is the correct way to set the user name that AppVMs use be default when 
they are created?

~JT
