Am using qubesos but /etc/skel in template vm isnt copying to application vms
Do i need to wipe the private volume for the template vm if so how?
EDIT: I figured it out was because the template vm changes dont take effect until the template is shutdown. Took me way to long to figure that out.
You're viewing a single thread.
/etc/skel is highly distribution specific.
Are you sure your VM even pulls from it automatically versus needing some sort of manual action?
My template is debian based so /etc/skel should be fine. My understanding is that qubes makes a private volume that it mounts into /home and some other dirs but thats the only non volatile part. When u create a new app vm from the template vm the private volume of the template is thrown away and a new one created this should create a new user that should be templates from /etc/skel but thats not happening idk why
You're looking for something hyper specific. I'd say check in the forums like the other comments said. Else actually debug and check that the file you mean to exist actually exists on VM boot. You have a chicken and egg scenario, and the first step is logs.
Alright just checked the files I want are in the app vms /etc/skel so idk
