dispvm issues

[Jon deps]

Hello,

for my Foo1 appVM in the Qube Manager I see default disp_vm as
printqube (another AppVM)

but in the Qubes Settings (accessed via the QM) for that Foo1 AppVM on
the Advanced Tab it shows Default DispVM as default(none) and in the
pull down menu there is no option for printqube as the dispvm


I had it working using a Fedora Template with printer drivers installed,
then using a that same printer-template based appvm as the default
dispvm so I could use DispVMs to print

but somehow I've broken the setup and dispVMs will only open if I use
the fedora-28-dvm or whonix-ws-dvm-14


any suggestions please ?

I cant account for the Qube Manager entry, but the most obvious
explanation is that you have somehow removed the "template for dispvms"
setting from printqube.
Either set that again (using qvm-prefs) or create another qube, set
the "template_for_dispvms", and then use that for Foo1.

OK thanks for making me look again

qvm-prefs printqube template_for_dispvms True was the trick for now :)

....when I use printqube as the basis for the dispVM to open a PDF
file it is using libreoffice, I have evince aka "document viewer"
but apparently it is not the default app for pdf .... I don't see where
in printqube to make my default app choices for the file types
, I would assume it's possible?
