.. program:: qvm-features :program:`qvm-features` -- manage domain's features =================================================== Synopsis -------- :command:`qvm-features` [-h] [--verbose] [--quiet] *VMNAME* [*FEATURE* [*VALUE*]] Options ------- .. option:: --help, -h show this help message and exit .. option:: --verbose, -v increase verbosity .. option:: --quiet, -q decrease verbosity .. option:: --unset, --default, --delete, -D Unset the feature. Description ----------- This command is used to manually manage the *features* of the domain. The features are key-value pairs with both key and value being strings. They are used by extensions to store information about the domain and make policy decisions based on them. For example, they may indicate that some specific software package was installed inside the template and the domains based on it have some specific capability. .. warning:: The features are normally managed by the extensions themselves and you should not change them directly. Strange things might happen otherwise. Some extensions interpret the values as boolean. In this case, the empty string means :py:obj:`False` and non-empty string (commonly ``'1'``) means :py:obj:`True`. An absence of the feature means "default", which is extension-dependent. In most cases the default value for feature is retrieved from a qube template. List of known features ---------------------- .. warning:: This list of features may be incomplete, because extensions are free to use any values, without registering them anywhere. gui ^^^ Qube provide any kind of GUI. Setting this feature to :py:obj:`False` disable GUI for given qubes - both gui-agent based and emulated VGA based one. Setting this feature to :py:obj:`True` enable gui-agent based GUI (i.e. with support of tools installed inside of qube). Not setting this feature at all, enable showing VGA emulated output. Default: show emulated VGA output only qrexec ^^^^^^ Qube has qrexec agent installed - i.e. it is possible to request staring a command/service in there. Default: assume qrexec not installed (do not wait for it while starting the qube) rpc-clipboard ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Use `qubes.ClipboardCopy` and `qubes.ClipboardPaste` qubes RPC services to fetch/send clipboard content from/to this qube, instead of using GUI protocol. This is supported (and required) by Qubes Windows Tools. Default: use GUI protocol for clipboard operations no-monitor-layout ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ When set to :py:pbj:`True`, monitor layout is not sent to this qube. That is avoid calling `qubes.SetMonitorLayout` in this qube. Default: send monitor layout internal ^^^^^^^^ Internal qubes (with this feature set to :py:obj:`True`) are not included in the menu. Default: not internal VM appmenus-legacy ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Generate legacy menu entries, using `qubes-desktop-run` command inside a VM, instead of `qubes.StartApp` qrexec service. This is used for qubes imported from previous Qubes version. Default: new style menu entries, using `qubes.StartApp` service appmenus-dispvm ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Generate menu entries for starting applications in Disposable VM based on given AppVM, instead of this AppVM directly. Default: create menu entries for AppVM itself qubes-firewall ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Setting this to :py:obj:`True` means that qube support enforcing firewall rules set with `qvm-firewall` command. Default: assume qubes-firewall not enforced net.fake-ip ^^^^^^^^^^^ Hide the real IP of the qube from it, and configure it with value set to this feature. Note that you can assign the same `net.fake-ip` address to multiple qubes and it shouldn't cause any troubles (unless you want to two such qubes communicate with each other). This feature does not affect address used in firewall rules, routing tables etc. Default: do not hide IP (qube's `ip` property) from the qube net.fake-gateway ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hide the real gateway of the qube from it, and configure it with value set to this feature. Default: do not hide geteway (qube's `gateway` property) from the qube net.fake-netmask ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hide the real netmask of the qube from it, and configure it with value set to this feature. Default: do not hide netmask (qube's `netmask` property) from the qube updates-available ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ There are updates available. In most cases it is useful to (only) read this feature to check if qube needs to be updated. Default/no value: no updates available video-model ^^^^^^^^^^^ Choose video card modes emulated by QEMU for this qube. For available values see libvirt documentation about
