Qubes AppVM full screen in a window

[Pawel Debski]

Folks,

How can I start AppVM to see all the boot messages and have it to have a separate desktop in a window just I like I am used to in VMWare or Virtual Box?

I mean I do not want the VM to grab the whole screen but rather have it in a separate window that from the VM point of view is the whole screen.

Best regards
PD

Go to Qubes VM Manager, open the settings of the VM you want to have windowed and uncheck enable Seamless GUI under the basic tab. That should show it like VmWare inside a window with all controls.

This isn't possible for standard AppVMs - this part (emulated GPU) is
intentionally disabled there. If you really want, for whatever reason,
you can:
- start vncserver in the VM and connect to it from the same VM
- create HVM and install some linux (or other system) there - HVMs are
running with emulated GPU and can be viewed with full desktop in a
window: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/hvm/
