How to stop sys-whonix and sys-firewall from starting on boot?

[mar...@grrlz.net]

I have already disabled that option on the VM's settings and I have also
disabled automatic updates on Qubes Manager general settings but nothing
changed.
Any ideas?

If you have any other qubes set to start automatically, then the upstream
qubes will be started too.
The default netvm is started automatically - you can stop this by
disabling the qubes-netvm service in dom0.

unman

Would this require a CLI command to disable or is this possible through Qubes Manager? I've noticed that whenever I deselect the "Start VM automatically on boot" option in the QM settings area [for sys-net and sys-firewall specifically] they still continue to boot up at system startup.

Best,

No you will need to disable the service at command line in dom0. The
option isnt available in Qubes Manager.

unman

Are you referring to the qvm-service command? I think the start at boot
option is not included there...
If not then where is it?

Read the thread in full - the service is qubes-netvm.
qvm-prefs is for adjusting services in qubes.
In dom0 you can use the usual controls - 'systemctl disable qubes-netvm'
