Is this not the proper way to run DVM's?
Yes, it is, and from what you have said, that is what you have. (EXCEPT that the flag is `template_for_dispvms` not `template_for_dvms` - is this a typo or the root of the problem?) > I currently have a menu item for 'fedora-32-dvm-template', but opening any > application from the menu, like Firefox for example, opens the DVMTemplate, > not a DispVM. > And this seems to be the problem - you *have* a DVMTemplate, but your menu items continue to point to the DVMTemplate, instead of using it to spawn a disposableVM. In a previous post I pointed out the difference between the menu items. The best I can suggest is that you: `qvm-features fedora-32-dvm-template appmenus-dispvm 0` Check the menu item. Check (again) that you have `template_for_dispvms` flag set. `qvm-features fedora-32-dvm-template appmenus-dispvm 1` Check the menu item again. If it still is not working then we can dig in to the menu items, but on Xfce I may be struggling. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
