You have seen the relevant section in the docs?
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/copy-from-dom0/#copypaste-from-dom0

You should, of course, be extremely careful about copying to/from dom0.

Copy content between dom0 and AppVMs - the easy way (Was: Re: [qubes-users] update broke whonix, can't reinstall)

2018-11-07 Thread 799
Hello Ryan,

I am also not satisfied that there is no easy way to copy the clipboard
content between dom0 and an AppVM.
Therefor I have written to small scripts which will do exact this (
https://github.com/one7two99/my-qubes/tree/master/home/bin)
The scripts need to be launched from dom0 command line and take the AppVM
name as single argument the AppVM where to clipboard should be copied to or
from.

This is only a quick solution, I would like to have a script that I
launch and then opens up the "select AppVM" dialog which you get when
moving files between VMs from the GUI.

the scripts:

To copy the dom0 clipboard to an AppVM clipboard:

#!/bin/bash
# name   : qvm-xclip-from-vm
# purpose: Copy the clipboard of an AppVM  to the clipboard of dom0a
# Usage  : qvm-xclip-from-vm 
AppVM=$1
qvm-run --pass-io $AppVM 'xclip -o' | xclip -selection clipboard &>/dev/null
notify-send --urgency low --icon image --expire-time=5000 "$0" "Clipboard
pasted from $AppVM to dom0"

to copy the content of an AppVM clipboard to dom0:

#!/bin/bash
# name   : qvm-xclip-to-vm
# purpose: Copy the clipboard of dom0 to the clipboard of an appvm
# Usage  : qvm-xclip-to-vm 
AppVM=$1
xclip -o | qvm-run --pass-io $AppVM 'cat | xclip -selection clipboard
&>/dev/null'
notify-send --urgency low --icon image --expire-time=5000 "$0" "Clipboard
pasted from dom0 to $AppVM"

regards

- O

[qubes-users] update broke whonix, can't reinstall

2018-11-07 Thread Ryan Tate
I run stock Qubes 4, no special repos or templates.

Qubes Manager was showing an update for whonix-ws and whonix-gw templateVMs. 
Update process on whonix-gw went as usual. On whonix-ws, update seemed to 
proceed fine initially but then suddenly the update window disappeared. Usually 
it prompts to hit Enter to shut down the templateVM if the update completes 
successfully. 

Following the updates, neither templateVM (nor any VMs which use them) works - 
they will launch and run but I cannot bring up any programs, not even a 
terminal. 

I tried reinstalling both templates in dom0 and, rather frustratingly, this did 
not work.

I will attempt to type part of the error since I can't copy/paste out of dom0 
(grr):

Installed package qubes-template-whonix-gw-4.0.0-201803270426.noarch not 
available
Error: No packages marked for reinstall.

Installed package qubes-template-whonix-ws-4.0.0.-201803270504.noarch not 
available.
Error: No packages marked for reintall.

Can anyone give me a clue how I might at least start a reinstall? I don't need 
the package to exactly match, I just want the current whonix-ws and whonix-gw 
installed. (And yes I have tried a straight sudo qubes-dom0-update - no new 
stuff there.)

(PS Would really like to avoid any testing or unstable branches, just want 
stock Qubes, stock templates! ...and working whonix, even if it is old)

Thanks for any help
