Customization of Disposable VM

It is possible to change application settings for each new DispVM. This can be done by customizin DispVM template:

  1. Start terminal in 'fedora-17-x64-dvm' VM (via command line, it is not listed in Qubes Manager nor system menu):

    qvm-run -a fedora-17-x64-dvm gnome-terminal

  2. Change application settings (eg you can start firefox and change default search engine, install some plugins etc).

  3. Create empty /home/user/.qubes-dispvm-customized file:

    touch /home/user/.qubes-dispvm-customized

  4. Shutdown the VM (either by poweroff from VM terminal, or qvm-shutdown from dom0 terminal).

  5. Regenerate DispVM template:

    qvm-create-default-dvm --default-template --default-script

Note: All above require at least qubes-core-vm >= 2.1.2 installed in template.
