QubesOS
Document "Open certain applications in disposables" feature
Qubes OS release (if applicable)
4.1
Brief summary
Add documentation for https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/6877 Few parts:
- document relevant "services" in
qvm-serviceman page - add page to qubes-doc for users, including what to expect, what are the limitations, and maybe list of applications known to work/known to not work with it
In the meantime, for anybody wanting to try this:
qvm-service --enable <vmname> app-dispvm.<application-id>
The <application-id> is the application's desktop file name, without an extension. For example:
qvm-service --enable work-mail app-dispvm.mozilla-thunderbird
In the meantime, for anybody wanting to try this:
qvm-service --enable <vmname> app-dispvm.<application-id>The
<application-id>is the application's desktop file name, without an extension. For example:qvm-service --enable work-mail app-dispvm.mozilla-thunderbird
Should this be working now on an up to date R4.0 with a Debian 11 AppVM? I tried this command for Thunderbird, but when I try to open an attachment (text file), it doesn´t open in a DispVM. Instead I get a file dialog from Thunderbird whether I want to open or save it, and when I click open, it opens inside the same AppVM. EDIT: I see the issue may be that this feature is only in R4.1.
This works really well in R1. You can easily add other types to open with via the handlers.json file or directly in thunderbird via right clicking. Thank you @marmarek
I've been playing around with this a bit today. I noticed that If I attached a disp that didn't have a browser installed (firefox, librewolf etc) and I clicked a web link within a thunderbird email it would keep spawning multiple DISPs over and over. Instead of just attempting once and stopping.
