Ubuntu template(s)
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
If you would like to use Ubuntu Linux distribution in your AppVMs, you can build and install one of the available Ubuntu templates.
|
|
These templates are currently not provided by Qubes in ready to use binary packages, because Canonical does not allow redistribution of a modified Ubuntu.
|
|
The redistribution is not allowed by their [Intellectual property rights policy][IP].
|
|
|
|
Building the Template
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Templates can be built using [Qubes Builder][builder]
|
|
(You can also access documentation in the [source code repository][repo].)
|
|
|
|
Please carefully read the [instructions][builder] for setting up and using Qubes Builder.
|
|
To quickly prepare the builder configuration, you can use the `setup` script available in the repository - it will interactively ask you which templates you want to build.
|
|
Select one of the Ubuntu version options.
|
|
On the "Choose Pre-Built Packages Repositories" page you must not select either option.
|
|
This is because Qubes does not provide offical Pre-Built packages for Ubuntu.
|
|
|
|
Once you have completed setup, in the qubes-builder directory, run:
|
|
```
|
|
make qubes-vm
|
|
make template
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The build for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial) is straightforward.
|
|
|
|
The build for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic) is straightforward.
|
|

|
Installing the template
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
You must copy the template you have built in to dom0 and install it there.
|
|
Rather than do this manually, there is a script you can use.
|
|
|
|
In dom0, run :
|
|
```
|
|
qvm-run -p <build_qube> 'cat /home/user/qubes-builder/qubes-src/linux-template-builder/rpm/install-templates.sh ' > install-templates.sh
|
|
```
|
|
If you have built other templates, edit the `install-templates.sh` to ensure you only retain the templates you want to install.
|
|
Then run `./install-templates.sh`
|
|
|
