[qubes-users] Custom dom0 wallpaper (a kind of guide)

2018-11-21 Thread Lorenzo Guerra
I am not knowledgeable enough to say anything about the security of your 
method. If you wish to use that procedure, you could note that forcing the 
window to go fullscreen with Alt+F11 before taking the snapshot would get rid 
of the last three passages, though.

[qubes-users] Custom dom0 wallpaper (a kind of guide)

2018-11-20 Thread pieter lems
Hello everyone,
Today I was customizing my QubesOS and I was running into a few problems
trying to change the dom0 wallpaper. I got it to work eventually and I
wanted to share how I did it. It's not safe to copy any files to dom0 but i
found that it's necessary to be able to use a custom wallpaper. (I'm sorry
if this is not the case). I did find a way to do this in a "sort of" secure
way, removing possible malware embedded in the image.

- First find an image you like to use as a wallpaper and download it.
- Open it using a disposable vm.
- Select full screen in the image viewer and take a screenshot.
- Save the screenshot in dom0
- Copy the screenshot to a trusted VM by using the command :

qvm-copy-to-vm  

- Open the image in an image editor and cut the top border
- Save the image and copy it back to the backgrounds folder in dom0 by
using the command:

qvm-run --pass-io  'cat /path/to/file_in_src_domain' | sudo
tee /usr/share/backgrounds


And voila the wallpaper is in dom0. You can change it by right
clicking on your desktop and selecting desktop settings and then point
the folder to backgrounds

Again sorry if this is not the correct way.

cheers!
